Caveat: Apocalypse, Craig

Arthur and I went into town for Thursday shopping. The pizza joint where we generally go for lunch was open but “dining room closed.” They were mandated by the State to not let people in their dining room. So they delivered – to our car in the parking lot. This is because of fears of the virus.
The library was closed. Same reason.
The grocery store was open, but less busy than usual. They had an additional, non-virus-related problem: their freezers and refrigerators had ALL broken. Apparently all running on the same compressor. So: no dairy products, no frozen goods, and the fruits and vegetables were quite spartan, and sitting on piles of ice.
Meanwhile, due to people hoarding and stockpiling because of the virus, shelves of basics like rice, flour, toilet paper, etc., were all empty. Cleaned out.
I was scanning the horizon for the coming zombie army.
