We're all desperately hoping the season starts on time, knowing full well that all it will take to derail it is a handful of cases of this ****ing hellspawn virus that seemingly pop up at will. This should have been a magnificent year for us; instead, it turned to shit.
I'm to the point now that I don't even want to talk to my lifelong best friends on the phone. Seriously, what the hell is there to talk about that doesn't suck? Every conversation eventually turns to the virus. Every trip outside the house is an exercise in bullshit, frustration and weirdness.
We all just want things to go back to normal, but there's no light at the end of the tunnel, not even the light of an oncoming train. Just darkness upon darkness. The more you think about it, the worse it looks.
It's hard to put on a happy face. Especially for some of the people here that you really don't like during the best of times, whoever they may be.

I've been throwing myself into my work lately. I'm brushing up on my LINUX to try and pick up some part time weekend work that I can do from home. People are noticeably one edge and I'm glad I don't live in a large city any longer. This whole scenario reminds me of the scene from 'V for Vendetta' where the little girl gets shot and that incident serves as a catalyst to bring London in chaos. It just feels tense.
One prediction I do have from all this with no facts to back it up: this whole thing is going to expedite the legalization of marijuana if this lasts past the new year. Our government is going to want to keep people medicated.
As far as Sturgis, I was there for the bike rally once when I worked at Harley Davidson. It struck me as a bunch of middle age men and women took over a block party and acted like college pledges for the Greek social system.
