* We're doing that too , Julie . Our next trip to town is scheduled for
when Max and I run out of milk for our morning coffee . Of course we'll
also be making a stop at the hardware store for a few things (aluminum
flashing for bee hive equipment) , and we'll probably pick up something
to bring home for lunch . What has saved us is that we were stocked up
before there was even a hint of this virus - which is just the way we
always do things .
