Anything that works to keep your minds off the dilemma.

I went out the other day for the first time in a while. Here's what I posted to FB:
Here's my personal experience with going out of the house today. Went grocery shopping on the 7th. No big deal. All normal. Today, same store had a line to get in. A LONG line (no "social distancing" whilst in line). Seniors could get right in but I look much younger than my true age. So I went elsewhere. Found a major drugstore in old peoples town (Sun City) but they had a lot of empty shelves. Mind you I wasn't food shopping. I was booze shopping. Don't let them kid you about not relying on booze during these tough times. I was relying on finding some. Heck, our 25th anniversary is a couple weeks away. I need champagne dadgumit. Went nextdoor to another major drugstore (old peoples town remember) and they had mostly (mostly) what I was looking for. If they didn't there was a liquor store sandwiched in between them. Next went to a grocery store just because there wasn't a line. It was seriously like the walking dead in there. Empty shelves mostly. Forget dairy and meat. It's one thing to not be able to afford food or other needs. It's entirely surreal to not be able to find it. First time in my life and I didn't like it. A little peak into S o c i a l i s m?
LINUX! Don't fight it. You will be assimilated!
