An area man is realizing his semi-regular craving for dozens and dozens of loaves of bread is mis-timed given current events in the province.

“Look, every couple of months I like to splurge by sitting at my dinner table and just devouring loaf after loaf of fresh bread,” said area man Denver Partridge. “It’s usually not that big of a deal.”

Partridge says, though, he certainly felt the stares at No Frills earlier this week during his shopping splurge.

“I promise, this is not panic buying. This is a completely legitimate purchase for my supper,” he adds.

He also notes that he’s not a complete monster. On weekends he’ll often peel 14 or 15 avocados and toss the pits into the ocean at Hospital Beach, but he’s sacrificed that pasttime given current events.

“I’ve been doing this since I was a kid. But if stopping for a week or two means giving back to the community? Well, lets just say this is the kind of decision that separates regular people from heroes.”
