Yeah, I know.

See my reply to Andrew. We may not be open much longer. I'm lucky, I have trails behind my house and the dog, who needs exercise.

You and my both my sisters, Andrew. My sisters both work in hospitals. Yeah, I do worry for them.

I'm OK for TP at the moment. Hopefully, when I need to buy more, it will be there. If not, my mom, who always buys in bulk so she doesn't have to go shopping as often, will help me out. It's bread and flour I can't find. I miss being able to make grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.

Our governor is trying to balance keeping people safe with keeping them sane and employed. All non-essential businesses are closed, or curbside pick-up only. LL Bean installed locks on their doors for the first time in the history of the store since it went 24 hours, 365 days a year. It's surreal for us Mainers. They closed ten of the southern Maine parks - all the beaches, and other parks that aren't large enough for people to spread out, including Two Lights, where I took you to see the waves when you visited. There are four parks currently open in Maine's largest population area, and we were all busy yesterday. We were within 20 parking spaces of filling yesterday during peak hours. I felt the need to disinfect the outhouse every two to three hours that I was there. If that continues to happen, they'll probably shut us down, too.

Can we agree that this may be the most boring apocalypse ever?

Still employed. Switched from grocery store to park just in time. The State of Maine just shut down ten of the parks in my region, we're one of only four remaining open. Fingers crossed people learn from the beach parks being closed, but I doubt it.

I'm being good and staying home when I'm not at work, switched from grocery shopping daily to once or twice a week, and have been staying away from my mom's house. She has mild to moderate emphysema and her housemate is in renal failure and on home dialysis. Been playing the original Ratchet and Clank games because they make me happy. Also been watching a lot of old movies - pre-1960 old movies. Lots of silents and stuff from the 1930s and 40s. Other than that, I have no life.

Scored the 3DS version of Ocarina of Time from my other nephew when he was up visiting last week. Seems only fair, the number of games I bought that kid growing up.

I have zero plans or desire to bother with the sequel. Hollywood can't understand not messing with perfection (or maybe it's beating a dead horse, who knows?)

Dude, don't feel bad. I'm replaying R&C: Going Commando for at least the tenth time. I'd planned on spending my time off playing Horizon Zero Dawn, but...

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. I've basically been running thorugh the game turning everyone into sheep. Seemed appropriate.

When I was still living in Portland (the original one in Maine, not the reboot in Oregon), some idiot in the neighborhood's car alarm would go off every single night at 3 AM. I repeat: every single night. This went on for far longer than it should, culminating in a large group of neighbors from all over the neighborhood standing around the car in their jammies or sweats and calling the police with the car blaring in the background. I know, because I was one of them. The cops showed up and told us all to go home, they'd take it from there. Last night it happened, strangely enough.

Oh, and toepick! I own that movie, too. When my friend Gi and I ran the last snowshoe race together, I caught the front of my snowshoe and almost face planted. While I was doing so, I yelled "Toe pick!" and Gi looked at me and said "Did you just say toe pick? Oh my god, I do that, too!"
