Thanks @Stormy for starting me down Memory Lane.

A question for our time.

The Amazon masks ordered on the 7th, with a delivery date of 15-20 April, at a cost of $35.00 extra for "expedited" shipping arrived on the 16th. Newegg did better. Ordered on the 10th (actually late at night the 9th);, delivered on the 14th. Free shipping, but $7.00 more for the masks. The washable masks, not quoted to arrive until the 30th at the earliest, still have the USPS tracking that says label printed, but not yet in system. Hope your's arrive.

This has given me some inspiration.

I have no idea what the words say, but it moves me every time I hear it. (best to listen with headphones or ear buds)

I too thought about why stores liquor stores like Binny's here in the Chicago area, that only sells beer, wine, liquor, cigars, mixers, and a few snack foods remain open, but decided it's probably a fairness issue. Why not, every single grocery store, CVS, Walgreen's, Meijer, and most Targets, and Walmart (to some extent) in my area also sell beer, wine, liquor, and snack foods. The thing that gets me is why the Mayor of Chicago would pose for a photo with the person that cut her hair last week, while every other barber/hairdresser/stylist/colorist in the entire state is unemployed.

In Chicago, Metra is a commuter rail line between suburbs and city. Many of the closer in suburban Metra stations/stops have "downtowns" with higher density housing of condos and apartments within walking distance near the station. I live in one of them, and can easily walk the two blocks to the station to get on the train into the city, and did so many times when working in the loop. As the real estate market improved, our suburb began a building boom. While the sale prices of our condos were actually dropping on average. Seems everyone wanted to rent, not own. A seven story apartment building went up next to our condos, a four story apartment building is being constructed across the street, a huge loft/townhouse/apartment complex began construction on the other side of the train station, and just last February, it was announced a public works building, and another commercial building downtown would be cleared for apartments. The seven story building next to us opened for occupancy in January. I know few want to move in winter, but it was mild this year, and today, the new building is mostly dark in the evening. The four story building will probably be completed as they have built the exterior for all four floors, but you never know. The loft/townhouse/apartment complex was in the excavation phase, and construction on the parking garage has begun, but it doesn't look like there's much progress since. Could be that builder is following the stay at home order while the four story builder has workers there every day. It will be an interesting year or two for us in our little "downtown"

From when I was a kid and we went to Friday night roller skating at the local recreation center. I saw my little brother kissing a girl after she fell.
