The world is shut down today. Took this picture of mom's back yard at low tide, showing the stillness of the water on a cold, windless day. Nothing moving nowhere.Went to the recycling center where paper and plastic was piled high in front of the already-overfull dumpsters. No recycling today or tomorrow. Try again next week.
No commercial activity beyond minor purchases at a convenience store. Nothing moving until Monday. I'm beginning to wonder if the world will start back up even then. I'm sure there are parts of it, in malls and financial centers, that are now shuttered for good.
Everybody laying off workers. Those lucky enough to still have jobs are looking at reduced hours. We're downsizing life for the foreseeable future when it starts up again, but right now life is on hold.
The world has been suspended for the longest time. Mom died, then it snowed and the world froze. Then it was Christmas and everything stayed stopped. Then it was the week leading up to the New Year, then the New Year which fell on a Thursday, and now, the weekend after.
Tempus Fugit, but only sometimes. Other times it crawls.

You don't get storm surges there, so I just see advantages to having water at your back yard.
Really smart people should have planned the general long-term economic criteria. Crowd mentality is no good for that.
Be well, CBoxx,
