Barry,

 BM> True: quite sure a large family would have been buying the 20- or 36-
 BM> (or more!) packs prior to the shortage.  Of course a potential problem
 BM> of timing: going to purchase during the shopping trip planned for just
 BM> after the shortage-hoarding hit.  "Four pack? We have that many
 BM> bathrooms!"

  I've got plenty of toilet paper and paper towels...which helps being the
only one here.

 BM> Right: too-clean hasn't caused a problem.  Plus if one sees the
 BM> cleaning being done or does it themselves then knows it's clean.
 BM> Technically may have been cleaned much more thoroughly before, but
 BM> seeing/doing the cleaning is a psychological boost.

  I have a new toilet bowl cleaner that I need to try out, but I'm trying
to get all the computer work done before the remnants of Cristobal get here.

 BM> 66ø?! Get the sweaters on!!  We've been in the middle and upper 80's
 BM> lately.  They're talking about hitting 90ø today (Saturday June 6th)
 BM> and somewhere in the low 90's on Monday -- nothing significant about
 BM> next Monday except that's when we're supposed to be getting the roof
 BM> replaced (hail storm damaged).  Wednesday and Thursday they forecast
 BM> rain from the remnants of (Tropical Storm) Cristobal.  Roof isn't
 BM> leaking, just want to get it done.  And maybe a little emphasis because
 BM> 'everyone' around here has been or having their roof redone from the
 BM> same storm.

  The rain will cool us off, but once it ends, and the sun and heat return,
all that soil moisture will push the heat index over 100.

 BM> Sort of along those lines we've bene watching the Teachers Tournament
 BM> on _Jeopardy!_ -- that was taped last February (!) -- three or four
 BM> months ago.  The 'big deal' on that bit of trivia (they put up an
 BM> overlay announcing the detail) is there is an audience - if current
 BM> would not be an audience.

  COVID19 has killed many of the TV shows...game shows, soap operas, etc.
