My car is quite fast except that even with staggered rears it doesn't always hook up. That's my adrenaline for the day.
I'm an audiophile, so have been passing the time tweaking my system, playing LP's and streaming Tidal hi-fi. Also, buying shit I probably shouldn't, since I'm unemployed.
When this ends I will have gotten a lot of hobby time out of my system and will long to focus on working again.
This is not any form of normal. It is a situation, which is ever changing and which all of us are trying to navigate. Nobody is alone in this, despite social isolation. Same way, we will all need to resume living when this really ends. And I don't mean mismanaging and causing it to prolong. The good news is once again we are all in the same boat.
PS-Not impressed with how so many countries have handled things. It's almost as if a burden has been lifted for them with a significant chunk of their elderly populations now deceased. It's horrific and goes against all the advancement humans have made over time.
The level of social development in a society can be gauged by the condition of their elderly.
Forgive me for asking, but disregarding all the reasons people voted for Trump, is he really the best man for the job NOW?
He behaves in a stupid, arrogant way every day plus he mostly seems to rub so many people the wrong way. It's unfortunate, since many people used to have huge respect for past Ps OTUS and he has belittled the position.

I travel the 401 between London and Woodstock twice a day. For a couple of weeks I have seen a slight drop off in traffic but not nearly what I expected.
This week it has started to pick up again and is almost back to the old "normal".
The only real difference I have seen is that a lot of people seem to think that the unspoken 125 KPH speed limit is now up to 150+. In the last week I have seen five cars being loaded onto flatbeds on the side of the highway. Three new Mustangs and two new Challengers all attended by two cruisers with the drivers in the back seat so you know they were not break downs.
