It’s almost always going to be available for pre-paid credit card orders only. Most places don’t require a signature (nine times out of ten, it’s just to give the customer an opportunity to leave a tip).
Anybody that thinks they can get away with a contactless dine-n-dash on their own doorstep is bound to be a close relation of Florida Man (no offense intended to Papa W, et al.). They’re go-ing to be blacklisted by the restaurant/delivery service and probably get on a knock on the door from local law enforcement.
The micro brew restaurant by my sister is giving out a small bottle of some mega-proof alcohol with every take out order. You can use it as a hand sanitizer and smell like a wino at the same time.
WAS gonna make corned beef and cabbage today for dinner…but the HEB here in town was completely out of cabbage and they don’t think they’ll get any in in the near future.
Officially online only for the rest of the semester. My classes are generally online anyway, in terms of homework and exams, but what a way to end my second-to-last semester.
Fortunately, I feel like the worst has avoided me. My job is not cutting hours. In fact, being online only, I can likely get MORE hours and work full time. Would be nice to work from home to save on gas, but gas is the cheapest I’ve seen in years.
Oh, and I have toilet paper, so I’m basically rich.
I gotta say, it’s nice seeing some of the local businesses step up to help people. Restaurants offering free meals for children without another purchase. The veterinarian office I took my pets to is adding pet medication delivery to their service with no extra fee to do so.
We didn’t need toilet paper or any of the other stuff that was being horded but were surprised to find that all the flour was gone at Wegmans. Reading on-line you’d think nobody even ate at home anymore, let alone baked. Maybe they just read some old government document that told you what to stock up on for a zombie apocalypse? (these lentil things are really crunchy, maybe you have to do something to them before you eat them?)
OK, monster shipment was put away. Then I had to stop at pharmacy to pick up kids prescriptions. Saw a little white smoke but didn’t know where it was coming from. Was about to get on the freeway and turns out it was coming from under the hood, as my temperature gauge spiked. I pulled over and called roadside and had it towed. Pretty sure I have a burst hose. I hope it is just a burst hose. I really REALLY hope it is just a hose.
But the car was off within 30 seconds of the temp jump and towed in, so hopefully it was enough. We shall see.
Grandma told us she was going to put insulation into our home and wanted us to put spray insulation in. She called my wife, who told her about my car, 2002 Explorer (owned since 2005), and she said she would pay for the repair, but if the car was shot she could pay for the insulation or equivalent of a car to replace, but not both. I was like wow, ok. Car, obviously. I need to be able to get to and from work.
But fingers, toes, and the stubble on my head and beard hairs crossed the repair is not bad on the car.
Me: have you heard of Murphy’s Law?
Friend: Yeah.
Me: What is it?
Friend: " Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong"
Me: Right, have you heard of Cole’s Law?
Friend: No, what’s that?
Me: Thinly sliced cabbage.
