Safer at Home

And there you have it.

As of Thursday night, only essential businesses can remain open. Gas stations, grocery stores, anything to do with healthcare, delivery people exempted.

Any gathering of 10-plus people are now illegal. Gatherings of up to nine must honor the six-foot “safe distance.” There’s either going to be a baby boom nine months from now or every wife now has a perfect excuse. (I hope it’s the former.)

All I can say that had this happened years ago when my house was smaller? Four small children and a husband trying to work from home? “Safer At Home” might have been a title but not a description.

    I have 3 boxes of MREs in my basement. Eat enough of those and you won’t need any toilet paper.

    I feel like I’m in a disaster movie.

    Right? But a really slow moving one …

    …

    When disaster movies were all the rage in the 70s, I thought a movie about dozens of people trapped on an unmoving department store escalator was a fantastic idea – Escalator 1974! – complete with singing nun, frantic mother with children, and rescue teams tossing down ropes to the “stranded” escalator riders. Of course, I was in high school at the time and not the son of wealthy Hollywood movie producer…and eventually in 1980 the movie Airplane was produced.

    The Big Bus came out in 1976.

    The wheels on the bus go round and round…

    Me too. I’m expecting Ernest Borgnine, George Kennedy, or Richard Chamberlain any minute.

    Embrace the power of “and”.

    Annefy: There’s either going to be a baby boom nine months from now or every wife now has a perfect excuse.

    I read recently that it’s actually a myth that there are mini baby booms nine months after a crisis where people are stuck at home. Somebody went through the actual data for births after power blackouts, and found no spikes in the number of births.

    It seems couples stuck at home don’t get amorous. Considering how much my beloved and I have been getting on each other’s nerves, this makes sense to me. ;-)

    Of course you are getting on each others nerves. In movies, that always leads to conjugation.

    Particularly in French movies…they do love to conjugate…especially with verbs.

    For a minute I thought you wrote “copulate with verbs”.
