Another pathetic, self-important convoy drives slowly around the sprawl-ghost of downtown proving we need more pickup trucks in our lives. Maybe they could see their refueling as a fine, or maybe just their contribution to the war effort.

And the battle against Covid calms as now people can freely choose to mask or not against a “not dead yet” enemy which thrives on your breath.

Everything is back to normal. At last.
