Before I move on, running into Kroger for a quick trip felt very “before times.”
Before March 13, 2020, running errands was a chore, and no big deal — it's part of life.
But since March 13, 2020, it’s required a level of planning I imagine NASA scientists undergo before a spacewalk.
Grocery shoppers were armed with the fortitude of a "Walking Dead" character. The idea that you’d just run in for one thing? Ridiculous!
You’re not going in to pick up one ingredient. You’re on a supply run, Mad Max, and so is everyone else.
As I completed my almost normal, like-before errand, I walked past bins and bins stacked waist-high that were overflowing with hand sanitizer. Every shape, size, color, and scent of anti-bacterial gel a human could ever imagine was there to purchase, and it was buy one, get one free!
