From a hot tipper at swine@thestranger.com. (And here I was, thinking "swine@" was our general inbox address.)

You can't buy Purell around here. Bartell's on Rainier was sold out (except for travel samples), and so was Bartell's on Broadway & Pike. Though at the Broadway store, someone stashed five bottles behind the hand creams, and I found them! SNAP! I grabbed 2, then pointed them out to another customer, who bought 1. If you're quick there's still 2 left!

Yes, soap and water works, and so do wipes (though stocks on them were getting very low as well). Also, Lysol has a liquid foaming hand sanitizer that's stocked elsewhere in the store (household cleaning supplies, with the rest of the Lysol).

That's all... for now!

It's the "for now" that gets me. Am I ashamed that I just lugged my ass back from QFC with a giant boxful of canned food? No. I am not. That sweet corn would taste real nice next to a hunk of roasted Greenlake goose.
