Friday evening, I went with Jim to the Metro grocery store in College Park for some last-minute shopping. It was an interesting scene, crowded with shoppers, evidencing empty shelves where certain products where I expected there to be shortfalls (paper products, bread, eggs and dairy, perishable meats). There were presences, too, of canned goods that were unpopular (plenty of beets, for instance) and of a whole wall of orchids in bloom.

The atmosphere of the Metro was interesting. People there had intent, but there was no panic.

Maybe a good thing I've stayed home so far today.

Oddly, grocery stores in Newmarket (40 km north of the Six) have overflowing shelves.

It looks like my local Metro store is getting their supply situation in train again.
