Today's planned trip is to LC for groceries: The bus on our route is nearly empty. This is usual. It's a community college run, but nowdays, most classes are online.
Once in the store, I try to do a better job of staying away from people -- and grit my teeth when they fail to do the same for me. No harm, no foul. It's just groceries.
The store has a policy: Don't place your own bags in the bagging area (they might be infected)! You're to place your bags in your shopping cart and fill them by hand in an otherwise standard manner. Me, I find it easier to ask the cashier to bag them for me (paper, please). They do a better job at it, taking less time than I and my fumbly fingers will allow. Outside, I lift what I can carry and let my housemates haul the rest.
All in all an unremarkable day for those of us far away from the nation's capital. COVID-19 has taken a back seat in the news since the Insurrection a week ago today.
