The “darn, aren’t we puny creatures in the face of cooties” time. Not panic buying – smart shopping.

It was mean to say someone had cooties when I was growing up, and I was not mean, and I don't think I ever told anyone I thought they had cooties. I remember Stephen Hawking saying about aliens that we should quit calling out to signal them.
