I finished my shift at the elementary school Monday and headed south for Base Line Street in Highland. There I turned into the Family General Store and headed in. I was thinking Hershey’s bar, but the lines were too long so I left.
That’s when I ran into Highland newcomer Felicia Woods who was wearing a red, white and blue Linus blouse and clutching two packs of toilet paper and two oversized bottles of water. Intrigued, I asked if I could take her photo and she said, “You can if you tell my story.”
Hmmm, “Let’s Make a Deal.” OK, what the heck …
“I had a migraine about a week ago that lasted for like seven days and I didn’t know what was going on around the world,” Woods said. “By the time I found out, I couldn’t find any toilet paper until today.”
Woods displayed her bounty which included 24 rolls of TP, a marked improvement over the two she had the previous week.
The Highland newcomer went away happy. Sort of. She also floated a conspiracy theory.
“I called the corporate office and they should call me back,” she said. “It’s OK to ration toilet paper – it’s actually a great idea right now, but it’s not OK to hold it in your back warehouse when people desperately need it.”
Hmmm, I don’t know about all that. But I’m glad she got her TP.
