In time, the mitigation will become conditional upon results and this will be trending again:

Mrs Glatt was on the phone for an hour or so with T-Mobile, switching service from Boost Mobile for three phones in the glatt household.

At several times during the phone call, she heard roosters in the background on the other end of the line, and the service rep would start talking a little faster and louder to try to cover the background noise.

We’re all just doing our best in these crazy times.

I made up a drinking game around the virus situation. Gotta drink whenever a commercial mentions "these stressful times", or "this trying time in our lives" or some such phrase referring to the kung flu.

Stayed drunk all month.

I read this post just before 0700 and somewhat bleary eyed.

I thought it said 380 cases of constipation.

Years ago, Flint visited my house with his kiddos, and they stopped at our grocery store on the way. The store has a weirdly convoluted parking lot, and Flint was furious about its design flaws.

Now they're doing construction, and they've opened it up to a more traditional layout. Every time I pull in now, I think, "Oh, Flint would be happy about this."

Maybe start a youtube channel devoted to lot critique.
