coming soon to a flight near you
So apparently I need to start hoarding good toilet paper because the stuff I just purchased is garbage. It doesn't help that the news in this town has been predicting snowmageddon for days so that probably ramped up the panic but I think I purchased not-quite notebook paper. It is probably closer to a thin version of those awful brown public school paper towels. I don't know if they are still around but the things had no absorption abilities of any kind. Spill something in the lunchroom, go tear a length off of the machine, and proceed to smear your spill all around the table until to basically rub it out of existence.
I am also deeply saddened because I went for the megapack of this unknown dogshit brand rather than the four pack like a normal person living alone with low current guest prospects. I have an outing planned tomorrow so I will try another part of town in search of normal personal care. Luckily I'm driving a ways because the other factor I just realized is my neighborhood is close to the state capitol and there is some predicted wackiness as soon as this weekend.
The hits just keep on coming. Luckily I will be flying this week to another state capitol in one of the most well armed red states in existence. You can't make this stuff up. At least it will be warm.
In other news I was perusing Facebook marketplace because I am looking for a couple of used things for this palace when I stumbled across a brass diving helmet. Holy cow I want one. I sent the seller a barrage of questions some of which there is no way they will be able to answer. I asked about weight, interior dimensions, and comfort. This might have thrown them off because I would bet that most folks buy them for decoration. I however am interested in this as a pandemic shelter in all the places device.
Depending on how much room I'm working with I could easily add mechanical filtration and dehumidification. I'm thinking attached chest pack ala Darth Vader. I'm sure I'll have to get some special needs TSA permit but if people are allowed to fly with support potbelly pigs I should have a shot. I still haven't heard back probably because I asked about seal integrity and original tar and leather shoulder liner. Oh well, turns out eBay sells them as well.
