Ah, COVID-19!
You rascal, you!
I've delayed my move indefinitely, and today I learned that the publishing industry is essentially not accepting any new books until it restructures.

I've delayed my move indefinitely, and today I learned that the publishing industry is essentially not accepting any new books until it restructures.
BUT.
When the publishing industry recovers, it'll be looking for books that generate controversy and sell.
Also, agents are saying that studios are actually going back to movies based on original ideas.
So I'm not worried. My memoir can wait.

My brother took my postcard and photo collection to our new house, and now he's going to bring it back.
He doesn't mind. I can spend the next however long scanning.
I compare myself to the kids I met last night.

I've been going to drive-throughs to support my local businesses.
Last night I went to McDonald's for the first time in years. I got a McChicken sandwich, which I remembered liking.

The guy at the window was an unintelligible Gen-Z dude. I didn't give me a receipt, so I can't prove this happened.
When the sandwich was ready, he hand me the bag and said, "Here you go. buddy!"
He was trying not to laugh.

In the background, an unseen Gen-Z dude was howling with laughter.
So I knew something was up.
There was a car behind me. I pulled up, took out the sandwich, and unwrapped it.

The howling guy had put about a pint of mayonnaise on it.
You couldn't even see the patty or the lower bun.
I thought about doing something.
Here's the little mind-movie that played in my head.

Here's the little mind-movie that played in my head.
I drive back around to the window and said this to the guy.
"Here's the sandwich back. Guess what I have in my lap? Don't move. Don't move a muscle. Call the person who made the sandwich. Don't move, now. Hi there, kid. Now, I'm going to explain something to both of you."

"When you pull a stunt like this on a stranger, you take a risk because you never know how they'll react. Okay, this is the last time I'm going to tell you not to move. Unfortunately for you, I'm completely off my rocker. I have no brakes. I've had a very bad day."
"This was the last straw for me. If you apologize, I'll go away."
If they apologized, I say, "Not good enough," and then I'd scream "BANG!" as loudly as I could.
Then I'd say, "Don't forget me, boys" before I drove away.

The reason I didn't do all that is that it would be wasted effort.
Those kids are write-offs. Despite all my problems, I never did crappy things to others.
People don't like to hear this, but practical jokes and pranks are sadism.

Pranksters are rage-filled losers.
I got revenge once.
I'm talking MAJOR revenge. And I don't regret it in the slightest.
But the best revenge is to back away from losers who'll have a life of loserdom.

The country will be a much better place after COVID-19.
@realDonaldTrump;s press conference today was amazing. We've built a VIRTUAL stockpile of ventilators. We can rotate them from state to state as needed.
That HAD to be Trump's idea.

And today Trump laid down the law in plan language.
Governors MUST do their job. THEY will do testing.
No more of this soft socialism that we drifted into.
If the governors screw up, there will be repercussions.
