Coronavirus Time

It's been a few years since I've written-I really had no idea that it had been that long-and now, like most everyone else, I'm sitting around the house.

Lots of Parking
In a few minutes I'm going to walk to my doctors-not for the virus, but because I have a wart on my nose. I'm tired of looking like the wicked witch and I'm hoping my doc will remove it. I'll take some pictures of my deserted home town on the way back.

One of the things I've noticed, though, is more families out walking. The car traffic is down considerably, but people are outside, riding bikes, walking dogs and just strolling about.The upside to the virus is it might bring the family unit together.


Last night I was up to late looking for the famed Boss Radio KHJ's Real Don Steele and his tagline, "Tina Delgado is alive! Alive!" If Quinten Tarentino had used that in Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood, it would have been the perfect movie. I did find an aircheck from August of 1966 with Garry Mack and the Real Don Steele, and that's what I have playing while I write. Like Tarentino, who's about my age, KHJ was the sound of the city, sitting in the back of my Mom's 1964 Chevy Malibu. It brings back memories.

There have been some changes in town, and I do plan on writing this again, but I'll wait until the city reopens.
