Positive things from the Pandemic

[canamjhb]

A couple of positive observations;

Less air pollution. The earth's lungs are being cleansed while our cars are sitting in the garage.

Barbers and hairstylists will have a tremendous increase in business when we get back to normal. There will be a lot of self-imposed haircuts that will need to be fixed.

Any others.....? Jim

Those home projects that have been put off for a long time are getting done.

My filing system has been updated and the office/music room looks pretty good now.

I have a beautiful lawn again.

I am reading more. Now to get back on track with the music practice.

When I go out for exercise on my bicycle people tend to be friendlier and wave or acknowledge each other. Every Friday at 5 the people on my block stay 6+ feet apart but gather in loose group and bring a libation of their choice. We are getting to know people we hadn't met.

I'm one of those people that never balances his checkbook. I make sure there's enough in there to cover expenses but I'm never sure of the exact amount. Today, with all this time on my hands I balanced the little bugger and I found $349 that I didn't know I had. So that's a positive thing I guess.

Learning not to rely on the rest if the world for our vital necessities.

Crime?
1. Street crimes might be down because there are less people on the street. Bad guys are easier to spot.
2. Burglary is down because everyone is home.
3. Domestic violence is up because people are cooped up together for too long.
4. Police are making arrests for only serious offenses to avoid crowding in jail.
5. Police are not stopping motorists for minor infractions. Keeping their distance.

These are just a few points gleaned from my police friends. As things get worse we may see another shift in behavior.

Drove by a house today and seen a guy kick his door open. Stopped and ask if everything was ok.
He said yes he was a burglar and was working from home

Liquor stores.....

I heard about a guy who went to the liquor store for a 2 week supply 3 times this week!!!!!

Or the guy who said "I'm giving up drinking for a month" But there was an error in punctuation. What he meant was "I'm giving up". "Drinking for a month".

Everyone stay safe and keep a sense of humor as much as you can. This is ugly and getting uglier but I am convinced we will come through and be stronger than before. I pray for those affected and hope we can each bring a little sunshine into the lives of others. Sermon over..... Jim

Add suicides might be up, because people can't handle any more of this pandemic.
