Be Careful What You Ask For
For years now I have paid bills through my bank without writing checks. It was cheaper and I didn't have to buy stamps. As this progressed I stopped getting bills from the folks I did business with. E-mail has replaced snail mail and now you have to ask for paper statements to the irritation of banks, et al. Now I get prescriptions by mail, from where I used to go pick them up. UPS brings me a significant amount of the food I eat bi-weekly.
I don't know if the Post Office is as close to bankruptcy as is alleged but I have noticed that there are days that I receive no mail. Nothing, nada, and on other days it is just the food flyers from the grocery stores, or the pharmacy where I get stuff for which I used to visit the MD. Those flyers and other inserts and stuff that used to come on Wednesday and Sunday with the newspaper. We all know how that is going.
And the preacher asks us to make plans for when we can go back to church in person. The minister is a good guy, both inspirational, and entertaining, but I wonder how things will go as social distancing issues will continue on campus and if lunches after the service become take out only and you can watch the service at your leisure.
I was on an exercise bike while listening to this Sunday's Service and the Sunday before I washed dishes. And finally electronically passing the plate through Paypal is a bridge too far for me as is the online commentary while the service is going. I'm a UU and should not be surprised, but overall it's distracting
Gas is cheap but they would rather you walk in the neighborhood and as a result your car battery might need a jump when it is time to go to the grocery store.
Nothing too original here because safer at home isn't exciting, however the alternative isn't very exciting either for folks in my age bracket.
