LOCKDOWN

by Bob Walsh

Gavin Newsome, the HMFIC of the formerly great state of California, issued a "stay at home" order to the entire state effective midnight last night.

(I wonder if going to the range is "essential activity?)

However, Safeway has started "old farts hours" for 7-9 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday so old farts, gimps and similar sorts will maybe be able to shop without having to fight with 23-years olds over a bag of potatoes. Other stores have done similar things. I think it is nice, though I expect people will be cheating on it like big dogs. Still, it is a nice thought. Trouble is, I am not usually out of bed by then. Life is hard, and sometimes unfair.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Going down to TJ for toilet paper should be considered essential.

Please be careful. Do not leave home unless it's absolutely necessary. Someone I know has tested presumptive positive. Wash your hands. Stay home if you can. Our elections have been postponed until November and I'm glad. Get sick? Get tested. We're hunkered down.

Does thus mean you're not going to Vegs, Tahoe or Lake Charles? The sky must really be falling in.

Yep! By the way, they are all closed.
