I've been anticipating since Sunday, when this would happen. And it's happening. Seems like no one cares, no problem.

Same stuff shut down or reduced service as Oak Park pretty much. Anything they can do to keep people from gathering in one spot for very long. So far, other than not being able to sit down at a restaurant or hit the gym, my normal routine hasn't changed much.

It's funny but a little earlier in the day, for no reason at all, my vet and I got talking about Oak Park and our early lives there. He had lived around Lake and Ontario and I used to go to a church about a block away.

We’re kind of doing that on our own. May venture out sometime next week to restock provisions.

Wednesday was my guess for the whole country. But it has started. I've been practicing for weeks already. Just mentioned because it's an order now.
