What has been selling wildly during COVID-19? First off was toilet paper. Then eggs, flour, yeast. And that meant that bread makers sold out too. Also rice cookers, vacuum sealers, soda makers. Grocery stores all of a sudden had a lot of snack food - Oreos and Cheetos, and lots of potato chips and popcorn.
There was an immediate rush of suspect websites looking to cash in on COVID-19 products - Shopify registered 500 new e-commerce sites, according to the New York Times.
Bicycle sales have spiked- or is it skyrocketed?. Swimming pools from tiny to large are all sold out too.. Office supplies went up for those working. When not working? All the hobbies - from gardening to crafts, feeding the birds, and getting furry pet friends.
What plummeted were car sales - yet it seems to me that car sales may go up now - driving seems so safe compared to transit.
Our pictures today tell a story - the beautiful blossom trail looks ragged to me in the summer. Or maybe I find the ragged fields under moody skies.
I have to show you this pair of houses on Sann Road at the Lake - the first road east of Beamsville's Ontario street. There's a mushroom cloud size house next to the tiny summer cottage sitting on a lot not more than 15 feet wide.
