I Miss the COVID Lockdown Hysteria

The traffic was so thin. The streets were clear. The mass hysteria got rid of all the clutter. I was reminded of a quote from a Celine novel. Look at people. They seem so busy on a sunny day. But look also on a rainy day. See how they aren't out and about. This is the essence of the crowd. The only purpose is to appear busy alongside others pretending the same.

Was a lot easier to get around. Torn. People need to wake up sure. But getting them out of the way sure improved certain things.

There was also the guilty pleasure of celebrities and other attention whores suffering and possibly roping themselves through isolation.

I had and still have multiple death pools going for celebrity suicides. I have money on jim carry, not because I think he will, just because I’m hopeful.

You're such an optimist.

That would be lovely, though.

I do what I can to keep my spirits high.

Yes it was awesome. If it weren't for maskturbators coming up and bitching. Sometimes your trunk is already full.

I enjoyed getting into fights with the maskies. Back then my family was the only non masked group in town. Now I can't tell if someone is maskless because they are smart or vaxxed. Hard to determine who is on your side.

I enjoyed 6 feet of distance from everyone, especially since 90% of people proved they're filthy cowardly scum who deserves to die, but also seem to think I deserve to die.

I enjoyed going out in public and to stores and not having my personal space invaded.

Fuck that shit. It's not a good thing when my people are afraid to leave the house. I long for a time when they recognize how big their house is and fucking fight for it.

The quote sounds like a non sequitur to me. I have not noticed less traffic in rain that couldn't be explained by not wanting to be go out, especially driving, in the rain.

I have. Whole lot less skunkapes on the street, buses, in supermarkets, etc., during our rainy season.
