Yesterday we all just chilled. I wrote some satire on The Hummingbird, a medium publication I created. That’s where today’s pic came from. I touched base with almost everyone I know yesterday. All are well still. Some don’t know what to do with all this free time and are going a little stir crazy. As long as the internet keeps flowing I think we’ll all be fine. It’s going to be critical that we can all communicate. Without it, I guess it's back to depending on broadcasters to help maintain order I think. And the post office. Get your penmanship skills in order. We may be back to letter writing at some point. We just ordered a bunch of groceries from Kroger online. I wonder what a penned letter to them might look like? “Dearest Kroger Manager, We hope this note finds you and yours well. We are doing fine here, but it's been a fortnight since we’ve enjoyed the simple splendor of organic tater tots and chicken strips. We do so miss them. If you have it within you, please send whatever $50 will do to satisfy our hunger as soon as it is humanly possible for you to do so. Under these vile circumstances, we understand the need for patience but our necessity is great and real. Most sincerely, Ken D. Orlich and Family. PS Wine. Red. At least one bottle if available. Thank you again. We look forward to the arrival of your most industrious and courageous courier as soon as possible. Be well.”
