Thank you, my friend! It's been a tough couple of weeks to be almost a thousand miles away. He was injured then was put on an antibiotic that has the side effects of mental confusion and muscle weakness so as a result he had six falls in two days. These doctors are something else. Giving something that causes mental confusion to an Alzheimer's patent sounds like a great plan!

Yeah, it's crazy how many people and businesses are being completely wiped out financially and are receiving just a small fraction (or nothing at all) of the support they need from our government. People here in Minnesota are beginning to protest the shut-down in earnest. There was an entire convoy of vehicles that surrounded our State House today in protest. Karma seems to be working in Brian's favor, however. He just announced that his landlord as waived his rent for April and May and a lot of the food they're serving has been donated.

Have you heard what's transpiring in the South China Sea? Supposedly, China is making a ploy to take back Taiwan. I just heard about it today on a Joe Rogan podcast (Ep #1465/Tim Pool). I haven't heard one thing about it in the mainstream media. We have a couple of ships in the vicinity but a lot of the crew on those ships have been stricken with the virus so they're disabled. The U.S. is sending more aircraft carriers to back them up and these are probably in place by now. With our economy teetering on the brink of collapse, government in disarray, and threat of the food chain being disrupted this could very quickly go from bad to worse.

That's great to know about the hotels! Thanks for the information. I had been Googling "Prius Camping". The way the seats are configured you can recline them flat and sleep in the car with an air mattress. You can also leave the engine on for heat or AC and it will only consume about half a gallon of gas in eight hours of idling. I'd much prefer a hotel though, "Prius camping" would be a last resort. Lol.

I appreciate the comment and support as always @sultnpapper!
