Musing

You know, apparently it's a thing both in Italy and the US, and probably elsewhere, for people to purchase things and have their orders lowered in a basket? I saw a video about a food pantry in Italy that's doing that, and there's a bakery in DC that it handing out ordered food that way. It's rather medieval. Actually, it's interesting how sometimes things come back from the past due to strange situations. I know there are hospitals where they still use a form of the baby wheel to encourage mothers to abandon their unwanted babies there instead of trashcans (not coronavirus related, but still). People are hanging basics for food, and wearing masks to ward off plague. Heck, even things like sewing and knitting and baking and gardening are making comebacks at the moment.

 Anyway, it is interesting how history sometimes circles back.
