Tales from the Trenches

Such as they are.

Tale #1. To my shopping list (coffee, greens, milk, borax, pears, peas, beans, bread), I added flu masks. And Cub Foods had none. Walgreens had none.

Tale #2. Drove my son to his CAP Cadet program tonight at the Air Force Reserve station. As we slowly approached the guard at the gate, ("Ten miles per hour, Mom!" Michael cautioned), I thought, "Or what? They'll shoot me?" Then I thought, "If I were in Iraq, they would shoot me".
