I’ve been out once this week, sorry I didn’t ask first for the acceptable number of excursions allowed before I left. I have almost everything in place and have for several weeks. Except - - I just discovered my propane was low. I only fill the tank every 5-8 months or so, and that’s difficult to keep track of. The propane however is essential to kill the rat lungworm on my garden vegetables which allows me to limit my trips out for fresh food. While I was in Pahoa for propane, I thought it best to grab some groceries so I can delay my next trip out. That lowered my carbon footprint too! And there, at the checkout, were the trouble makers buying 3 items, rather than carefully stocking up as I do when I shop with a long organized list.
HotPE, I am not trying to put you out, but you’re not “asking for the acceptable number of excursions” is very similar to asking the “troublemakers” how many items they are supposed to purchase before it’s acceptable for you to stop by after getting propane. Especially when you usually have a long organized list. You were getting propane or grocery shopping with a long organized list?
Whatever the case, this trashing people as putting your life in danger, as an either or thing, is pretty inhumane it seems to me. And I don’t mean “you” but our tendency to do it in this crisis situation. I do it. Just saying it’s worth watching out for as things get worse.
Cheers,
