proper corona admin, vol 29

Some more news from... the front? The back? The hill? The hell?

Oh well. No politics today, at least (unless you are one of those who think everything is political, but in that case I guess this problem is nothing new).

Apartment update

At the start of the lockdown there was a delightful little thought that came my way via the Information Superhighway - the next time you look for a new place to live, the inevitable question will float through your mind: can I imagine myself quarantined here? Those who peek into my current apartment are best advised to answer - yes, yes I can!

However, those who peek into my apartment currently may reach a different conclusion ("no"). Precisely why will be clear to anyone who has seen my apartment in the past month. Let's say my apartment looks like a tipped-over Goodwill donation truck, which is half-accurate because that's where most of my stuff ends up anyway.

Arrested developments

The way I do these write ups, it's hard to remember whether I've already used a joke on TOA. For example, did I write yet about my confusion that no one is talking about how the first step for reopening the country should be downgrading the pandemic to an epidemic? Or that Trump is handling some aspects of this situation so badly, you wonder if it's his first pandemic? How about the one where I point out that the real problem with social distancing is that most people can't figure out six feet, even with two yardsticks?

I'll stop, for now, but if you like these jokes I'll be here all day, and week, and probably month, assuming no one burns this sucker down. This is gonna be our best spring ever, Mikey.
