March 30, 2020--Growing Toilet Paper

I admit to being fascinated by the run on toilet paper during this stressful time. 

I suspect it has little to do with things gastric. It feels similar to how during impoverished time, often during wars, when one's currency had collapsed, people turned cigarettes into currency. 

But toilet paper?

If I'm right about this, see below for how you can avoid desperately wandering from supermarket to supermarket in search of TP as the shelves of paper goods empty.

Grow your own! 

For those of a younger generation who do not remember how people used avocado pits to start avocado plants and trees, here is how that was done--

The bulbous pit was dipped gently into a glass of water, suspended there on a nest of toothpicks stuck in the soft parts of the pit. Roots would emerge and soon there was a plant spike and a web of leaves. It was ready for transplanting and, who knows, maybe in 50 years there would be a few avocados.

Give it a try.
