I didn’t stop working. Was just like a normal year in Florida. Minus missing going to bike week last spring.
Loved ones not being able to visit their family in assisted living, nursing homes and hospitals or only being able to visit for 20 minute through a window. Massive wildfires in the west. China cracking down on Hong Kong. Massive unemployment. Looting, violence and destruction of personal property in many US cities. Flooding of the Brahmaputra River kills 189 and leaves 4 million homeless in India and Nepal. Massive explosion in Beirut. Cancelled seasons, shortened seasons or cancelled games for athletes at all levels from little tots to top pros and Olympians.
Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe Rosenbergs, H-bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom Brando, "The King and I" and "The Catcher in the Rye" Eisenhower, vaccine, England's got a new queen Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No we didn't light it But we tried to fight it
Actually I'm a little surprised with the current conditions and the "new norm" look that there hasn't been a considerable spike in hold-ups with all the friggin' populace donning masks.
Haven’t been reading the news out of Minneshitholia, then... https://m.startribune.com/staggering-surge-in-violent-carjackings-continues-citywide/573257391/
Don't keep up with that state's shit since the Vikings 4th Superbowl loss. Are there that many fuckers trying to leave that there's a surge in jacking cars ??
I sold two houses. Market's so frothy I don't want to dump the proceeds into it. Capital's so cheap I don't want to pay off any debt. Labor market sucks so bad with entitled millennials believing that entry level work for entry level pay is beneath them despite no relevant experience that I don't want to start another venture. First world problems. My kiva.org loans are going gangbusters, though. Too bad they're not a profit center.

The huge disparity between unemployment compensation and my regular pay. Missing out on Hilton, Southwest, and Avis rewards points due to work travel restrictions. Most sucky things point back to COVID...these included.
