the enigma

tp is still being hoarded. someone called me at lunch to say there was a family or a group of two cars who were store hopping getting toilet paper. the stores are now allowing 2 packs per household. so if four people would buy 2 each pretending they're not from the same household (because how would the store find out unless they ask for IDs and even then if they each go to different cashiers) that's 8, and if they go to five different stores it would be a total of 40 packs. let's say there are 9 rolls in a pack that would be a total of 360 rolls. you need to shit a lot to get through 360 rolls!

i have 6 packs of 9 jumbo rolls which i bought on sale over the course of fall and Christmas last year. that's hardly hoarding.

i was on zoom with my office team this morning and the buzz they said was that the children aren't going back to school in september. that's 20 weeks. at 8 lbs per week, that comes to 160 lbs. 160 plus my current weight of 140 -- holy guacamole, i'll be 300 lbs in september !!!!!
Tell me about it... I spent the whole day eating everything in sight and I’m still hungry! I like the treatment you’ve given this shot!

I like this processing. We still can't get toilet paper either but the kids are going back to school for one day a week from mid May

Great story (of course) and I love your image.

TP and tissues are back on our shelves but flour is in short supply. Our schools are starting back on April 29 which concerns me. We have very few active cases in Western Australia but schools aren't places that can effectively enforce social distancing.

I've been trying to get flour for the last couple of days. Not sure what's going on there. Loving your TP series.

You showed immense foresight when you made your Christmas purchase of TP. You have enough supplies to keep the TP theme going for the rest of the year - perhaps even involve a few puppies running around in the toilet paper - andrex style? I wonder if there is marketing potential in your jigsaw? You could make a series - flour and hand gel for the other pictures.

Creative. You, Sherlock, are trying to fill in the missing pieces to the enigma of the tp shortage.

Some people are just plain despicable and/or greedy. Love this shot though.
