It's probably not polite, but when I'm in the checkout line at the supermarket, I check out what the person ahead of me is buying. Tonight, I was behind a woman buying three pints of isopropyl alcohol and a pack of Oscar Mayer bologna. Nothing else. Next time I'm bored or have writer's block, I am going to make a point of figuring out what situation would drive a person to leave her home to buy a quart and a half of rubbing alcohol and a pound of processed meat.
If it isn't apparent, I'm burnt out on politics. Back to the original mission of pointing out the random oddities of life.
It takes 10 minutes for alcohol to sanitize a surface. (Yep, that little swab the nurse gives ya before a shot is useless!) Perhaps she didn't want to go to Canada and didn't fall into the "high risk" groups and is paranoid?
