Conglomeration's committee made the right decision and scrubbed the con.
Dad's employer is paying off the wrecked truck. The kid that hit him is going to be paying a big chunk of money to the company for a long time.
Today's COVID-19 update included an executive order banning social gatherings, so that puts the kibosh on our weekly minis game nights. Heroes is changing hours, since, as the owner put it when I dropped in today, there's no point in staying open until 10PM or 2AM since no one can be there playing games. I don't like it, but it's good policy.
Still a lot of panic-buying going on. I had some luck going to Meijer around 5:30 this morning. Some people are just fucking crazy.
There are some positive goings-on, though. Libraries and museums are opening electronic collections and virtual tours and exhibits. 2000AD is giving away one of the better Judge Dredd collections, and there are gaming companies putting freebies out. Heck, I've seen several free downloadable coloring books.
So, that's where things are today the first day of Spring, 2020. Empty places are the new normal. One of my favorite restaurants has decided to close completely instead of going to reduced hours and delivery/takeout only, while another favorite built a functional drive-through station in their parking lot. Things are going to be strange for a while, and when we get back to more-normal conditions, those will be strange for a while.
