What Will Make People Yell Enough When It Comes to These Endless Cancellations?

 

          Today was supposed to be pretty special.  Today would’ve been a 10 year streak of seeing Punxsutawney Phil.

          Thanks for nothing COVID-19.

          Yeah, as you can see I’m disgusted.  Disgusted isn’t the word.  I’m ticked-off.  Isn’t it funny how people can ‘protest’ but when it comes to going to something like seeing Phil, oh no that’s not safe- not a chance.  Did you happen to notice something about these ‘lockdowns?’  Lockdowns have really destroyed the sense of community that people have.  Go ahead- prove me wrong…

          I’ll wait.

          What?  No answer?  Well, think about it for a second.  During lockdowns,  the mom and pop restaurant automatically closes but hey no matter what Walmart is open.  Forget the small town bookstore- that’s a hazard but hey just head to Target if you want to read.   Punxsutawney Phil isn’t safe yet, last summer, this state had violent riots that trashed the King of Prussia mall, downtown Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.  Never mind about Portland or what’s going on in the Pacific Northwest- that’s just fine.  Hanging out- in a field, in the middle of winter with a scarf on your face is unsafe.

          And no one seems to have a problem with this…

          I cannot be the only one asking- what in the hell is it going to take for people to yell ENOUGH.  I don’t want to spend my life in front of a computer screen.  I want to have fun again.  What’s it going to take for people to want answers about sports, concerts and events like Punxsutawney Phil?

          The virus isn’t going away people but it sure looks like anything fun is.  How in the hell are we going to save it?  Maybe a better question is WHEN?
