Corona Thoughts, Day 2 (The First Day of Spring)

Corona Thoughts, Pt. 2

3/20/2020 - First day of spring.

I suppose you could say that this is the end of the first full week of this "lockdown," and the second day of attempting to document our part in it.  Where this thing goes, who knows?

This, being Friday, should have been a workday for both Stephanie and me, but of course, with both the schools and colleges shut down, it was yet another day here at home.

Today was rainy and gray, with quite a bit of precipitation and temps in the 50s.  There were thunderstorms in the night.  After breakfast, I called the Tax Office about the license plates for the car and was told the car would need an inspection in Texas, so I went to Moore Tire to get that done.  This Covid 19 panic had business slow there, as everywhere. After lunch, I worked on my classes, and Stephanie started cleaning out the pantry.  Supper was homemade chili and Fritos - A Texas staple.  In the evening we started the second Hobbit movie - The Desolation of Smaug.  Sadie loves these movies, and I am glad because I love them too.

I am still off Facebook, but will probably start to check it out a bit more soon.  It is the main source of information these days, yet one must be careful.

I read an article today by Pat Buchanan, and it worries me.  How long will people voluntarily put their lives on hold?  Three days to a week?  Probably, but what about 10?  I think we are going to see more and more people getting back to their lives, devil may care.

Will this be the first year since Christianity was adopted by the Romans that Easter will not be held in a church somewhere?  Gov. Abbott said he is leaving the decision to the congregations, but I can guarantee that the encouragement is to close.

We are still trying to decide what to do about Sadie's lamb.  These are strange times.
