Bicycles need to be charged??

Wow. About a week ago I mentioned getting a couple of cans of interior paint to start painting a room or two. I might have a shot at this if Lowes follows Sherwin Williams' example!

From an Southwest email:

While our stores remain open, we have reduced our hours.
Effective March 18th our hours will be*:
Monday – Friday: Normal open time – 5:00pm
Saturday: Normal open time – 4:00 pm
Sunday: Normal open time – 2:00 pm
*Subject to state and local restrictions

In an effort to reduce direct contact and time-spent in public places, we are now accepting orders over the phone and offering curbside pick-up.
To take advantage of this service, simply call your local store to place an order. If you are planning a painting project, click here for a 30% off paints and stains coupon.


In case anyone thinks I'm being superficial, painting is one of the best self care practices for me--very good therapy and you have something nice to show for your time. :-)

How do you stop a charging bicycle?

I went to McDonalds this morning for my free seniors coffee and bought a bacon and egg muffin. I usually read the papers they have available but they have discontinued because of the virus. I suppose some with their sticky fingers would leave some material on the paper and pass on the virus if they are infected.

Huh. We just had a small earthquake. I wonder if anyone needs to be pulled out now from under their toilet paper stash. O_o
