Dear HH,
America (and possibly the world) has gone mad. Rationing is a word that would get you a black eye if you mentioned it while waiting in today's mile-long line at the supermarket. You would think Armageddon is upon us from the carts and carts of groceries people are pushing to their cars, leaving the rest to scrape the broken eggs from the floor in aisle Nine, where that fight between two shoppers just took place. (The carnage would surely have been much greater if toilet paper was the prize.)
Where are you when we need you to set us all straight? I'm almost considering blackout windows just to keep the rest of humanity out of sight.

Didn't even know this book existed until last week (when a friend made me watch the film, which was adorable). Must track a copy down!

It takes no time at all to read, and it's so entertaining. Makes me wish old fashioned letter writing was still a thing.
I have a copy ordered. Will arrive whenever the collapse of western civilisation allows...
