Friday Evening Open Thread

 Good evening.  How goes your nose flute?

This is Leia. She turned a squeaker toy into a nose flute and would like to play a few notes for you. She’s still learning so please be nice. 14/10 pic.twitter.com/dUc493g6M3

Also, I'm curious as to what kind of habits you've acquired over the past year that will likely become permanent. Are you buying and keeping extra supplies at home now, a veritable prepper-lite? I'd say I have, and can see it continuing that way. I no longer just run out of cereal, then casually plan a trip to the store to acquire more; no, I have an open box, plus two more boxes on a shelf in the basement now, and try to keep that level of rotation happening. I also keep spares of mouthwash, coffee, honey, chocolates, toothpaste, and various canned goods. Well, canned goods usually saw little movement pre-pandemic, but that category certainly has more attention now as well.  

Some of us may very well turn into that old relative who "always buys a bunch of extra shit they don't need even though everything's so cheap and plentiful, because of some pandemic they lived through a million years ago LOL."
