People are funny.
Is he from Florida?

Italians and their CNN obsession.

I had the same thoughts but this is a young guy I've known for a while now.

....

I have to share this exchange I just had. This is a different person from the previously mentioned guy. Today is going to be one of those days I guess.

I was asked for some Moody Blues records. That was the first sign of trouble. I told him they're all in the dollar bin except one special one from Japan. I have this exchange after he comes up to the counter.

Dude - "Thanks. I'll take the dollar ones. I'm not taking the Japan one. There's a reason I don't eat Chinese food."

Me - "...................I don't understand."

Dude - "Well, you can't be too careful with this virus going around."

Me - "Yeah, but this album was made in 1984."

Dude - "Can't be too careful with these Chinese things though."

I was speechless. Without speech.

I don't know what was worse. The fact that he thought that something from Japan 35 years ago has been affected with a virus new to science in the last year or the fact that he thought China and Japan were the same thing.

Add Big Ears to the list of festivals that have been cancelled.

Sad but very responsible and respectful of the most vulnerable.

Hopefully March Madness will put sanity in front of $$$ and play in empty arenas or cancel the tournament.
