8. Interesting timing for me.....

Driving past the Rite Aid (on my way back from the NO KINGS protest in my neighborhood for over 30 years) was still open. Then last week I drove past it and it's closed suddenly! It was ALWAYS busy, too. Then on Friday I went to CVS a few blocks away and I asked the pharmacist if CVS was closing since there has been empty shelves for months. He informed me that Rite Aid closed and there was a line at CVS that went down the block.

That is sort of an acceptable answer but the CVS store has been very low in all products, especially stationary, for a looooong time. I'm wondering if they are going to close soon as well.
