Ghost Town

I went downtown today to see for myself exactly how bad things have gotten. And it's very, very bad. Nothing but empty parking spots and locked businesses on Tejon Street. It was eerie. I took this picture at 3:17pm. Downtown should have been bustling with people and cars. Instead it was a ghost town. I'm sure this scene is being repeated worldwide right now.

The Coronavirus has been ruinous to so many small businesses, including mine, which has in a matter of days just completely cratered. I'm probably going to have to get a day job if I can (which may affect my ability to blog much, so prepare yourselves, dear readers!). I don't know a single person who isn't being affected by this, and neither do you. I have close friends in Italy whose hotel will have to close. Just like that, over 20 years of their lives, the blood, sweat and tears that went into their pride and joy, just gone. I'm worried about my family here and in the Philippines. I'm worried about everything.

I'm sure you're feeling the same way. It's all any of us are thinking about now. All we can do is stay in our homes as much as possible and try not to get the virus, try not to pass it on to anyone else. Please stay safe, help your vulnerable loved ones and neighbors, and try to stay positive. We will get through this!

And now, for your listening pleasure...
