Th 3/12/2020- Convid 19 is beginning to impact us!!

Up 715am: Some fog and cloudy with rain predicted to begin early this afternoon- 50's.

****Stock market plunges again. The Bear Market has begun. UIS has cancelled classes and all work will be done online until further notice. Will classes for all schools be cancelled? And I still have a bad cold.

Watched, 'COMPLIANCE' (Kanopy). A manager of a fast food restaurant gets a phone call from somebody claiming that they are a police officer investigating a theft that occurred at the restaurant and a strip search is required. It's all just a hoax. This incident is based on dozens of such hoaxes that have occured all over the US.

****My comment on Kanopy:
The film makes you consider how much evil in the world occurs because somebody is asked to do something and they just do it. A truly thought provoking film."

Then I watched a couple of YouTube videos about the actual incidents.

Added some more picks for Kanopy.

1215pm: Hit the Dollar Store at Fairhills for cold supplies; eleven bucks worth of antihistamines and cold capsules. Then into County Market for cans of soup, a carton of eggs, cottage cheese, a head of cauliflower.
****I noticed that a lot of people were walking around with huge packages of toilet paper. This evening on Nextdoor I noticed that toilet paper is selling out all over the city. I thought that the cold pills would be decimated because of the coming possibility of Convid-19/ Flu, but I guess toilet paper was the biggest worry. Didn't this use to be milk and bread?

I went to Planet Fitness and did a three hour workout. 45" Walk. 45" Cross. 30" Recumbent Bike. 30" Walk. 30" Cross. (Mostly various JONESY'S JUKEBOX).

Home to read JAMES T. HALL and listened to BUFFALO KILLERS and TY SEGALL with a cup of instant downstairs.

****When I ran the water for the bath the water heater is flashing two pulses. Says it will reset, but it doesn't. Will have to call Tom's Plumbing tomorrow if this doesn't change.

*****Also, I think I might call Dax tomorrow and try to tighten up the portfolio. We are now into Bear Market Territory!!! The biggest stock market plunge since 1987!

Watched another episode of 'DIRTY MONEY'- Slumlord Millionaire, Jared Kushner (Netflix). JK Westminster is the name of his real estate company.

Then,  'TEAR THE ROOF OFF- THE UNTOLD STORY OF PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC' (Amazon Prime). After watching, 'COMPLIANCE', this morning, I think I have a different take on the film. Obviously, George was a crook, but....... "How much evil in the world occurs because somebody is asked to do something and they just do it."

Then an hour of a YouTube video, 'THE HISTORY OF ROCK 'N' ROLL- The 70's'.... Hit all the high notes, but no new ground broken.
