Like many others I am out of work until this COVID 19 hysteria passes. I have been home for two weeks. I have spent most of my days outside doing yard work and working in the garage. But now my neighborhood looks different. Every hour or so there is someone walking down the street, going for a run, kids riding bikes, entire families going for a walk with the dad throwing a football to the kids, and kids dribbling basketballs. I started taking the family for walks too. People are outside playing in their yards, sitting in lawn chairs in their driveways, people are barbecuing. It is a flashback to the 1980’s and early 1990’s of what it was like growing up for me. Fun times. It’s a shame this will not last once things get back to the way it was before COVID 19.

There are talks about keeping campuses closed through the fall. Don't get your hopes up.

Subtle brag that you live in an exclusive suburb without sidewalks.

i set a betting line on the neighbors kid playing 2x2 basketball with his friends last night. lost $20 to a buddy. how the hell do you end a game 23-20?

they made shitty out of bounds rules and called a bunch of ticky tack fouls. at one point one kid called the other a fricking bitch for throwing the ball at him and chased him around trying to fight.

still more entertaining than the wnba

You checked out the women's pubic hair styles?

As long as nobody is loud, I'm cool with it.

Our block is mostly quiet, but there are a few houses where for some reason, people think it's okay to play loud music out in their front yard while they piddle around.

Please don't do this.

oh some of it will last. When you are unemployed, you'll have plenty of time to play with yourself.


And there will be lots of people walking in your neighborhood. They will be looking to rob you.

fun times indeed.

I'd hate to think that 21 million unemployed Americans are the good ole days.

A lot of people are going to look back at this years from now and relish the time they got to spend with their families.

I just feel extra sorry for poor kids stuck in abusive households, that is a living hell.
