Grocery shopping adventures in the Coronavirus time


As not much is happening these days, we have to use any little events   in our lives to record  and then after remember ….

This is what happened yesterday, Sunday and today Monday:

Mariana graciously offered to buy any groceries that we were missing and went to Walmart to buy them.
They went on Sunday and as the weather was nice, a lot of people were doing same. Danger!!!

Not helping  with the situation, and in order to meet the milk amount requirements, they had  to go to  the register 4 times,  with only one milk  cartoon each time, as it was rationed to prevent all items disappearance. Poor Mariana and Martin….


But groceries were bought.

And today Martin delivered, very early in his way to work.  In his very treasured  Subaru.

Then very carefully we unpacked, washed with soapy water all groceries  and dried them. That took for ever and finally there were   put in the refrigerator.

Final step  I learned to do the e-transfer to send the funds to Mariana, that was not much difficult though. 


All this was really an adventure!!

The importance of potable water

It is important to understand the consequences of the lack of potable water in poor communities in the world. Government and non-governmental organizations are focusing their efforts to alleviate this problem, but until now  results are showing that there is more to do. Deprivation of potable water is the first cause of several health issues, that prevent the possibility of advancement in the fight against poverty. Women and children are first affected by this insufficiency as this impacts health since childbirth through the first years of development.  We should not let politicians and organizations deceit the public with false statistics, diminishing the significance of this service shortage. Surveillance groups should be created to ensure resources are applied where they need to be. All efforts will be compensated just capturing the delight of all earth communities watching the liquid flowing from pipes as a promise of a better future.

The unimportance of identity

  Consider the fact that. in a few years, I shall be dead. This fact can seem depressing. But the reality is only this. After a certain time, none of the thoughts and experiences that occur will be directly causally related to this brain or be connected in certain ways to these present experiences. That is all this fact involves. And, in that description, my death seems to disappear. Derek Parfit  Derek Parfit was a British philosopher who specialized in personal identity, rationality and ethics. He is widely considered one of the most important and influential moral philosophers of the late 20th century and early 21st century .

Alice sense of entitlement

Sometimes when I admire Alice,   I wonder if her cat personality has a sense of entitlement or if she simply behaves as a Queen-pet- cat. Alice - The Queen  A sense of entitlement is defined as “unrealistic, unmerited or inappropriate expectation of favorable living conditions and favorable treatment at the hands of others”. Entitlement is found when there is a higher sense of belief in one’s importance and means the person believes he deserves certain privileges – and is arrogant about it. Let's go to Alice, her elegant demeanor and her impassivity at her surroundings leads you to bring immediately the sense of entitlement. Her selection of the unimaginable places to relax, unaware of any possible restrictions, corresponds the same to her high sense of self-importance. She understands her significance as being part of the family and takes for granted her care tasks without interruption. But, because of her pleasant, playful and sweet behavior, ...
