Toad in the Puddle

I’ve been reading about ways creative people are dealing with the changes the COVID-19 outbreak has brought. Schmidt’s Pastry Cottage in Sugar House, Taylorsville, and South Jordan is giving away two loaves of French bread to each customer every day “for the foreseeable future.” That’s one loaf for you, one for your neighbor.  Can't find hand sanitizer in the store? Several local distilleries are making their own. Zoos and museums are providing virtual “field trips” for families stuck at home. Guerrilla Tacos in Los Angeles is offering “Emergency Taco Kits.” For $150, you get five pounds each of roast chicken and carne asada, red and green salsas, onions, cilantro, beans, and rice, plus four rolls of toilet paper and 30 eggs. Guerrilla Tacos reports the kits are selling like hotcakes. They’ll use the proceeds to fund employees’ health and dental plans, whether those employees can come to work or not.
