    Not many people know this, but...

    A couple years ago, Google purchased Santa's Workshop and made it subsidary. They merged Google tech and Santa magic.
    The original reason was to make Santa more efficient in getting the right presents to the right kids (if they deserved them, of course).

    It was only a matter of time before this unholy merger would be used against us.

    Oh, they know were you've been sleeping.
    They know where you're awake.
    They know if you been watching porn or not.
    So be careful what you do on your Google phone.

    This is most certainly not true about all of the USA but, in parts, what appears to be severe violation of social distancing is actually more of an indication of there being more distance between things than in other parts.
    I speak mostly of the West... inland from the Pacific Coast, but West of
    the Mississippi for sure.

    If some of those folks are considered "essential," they may be traveling
    pretty far just to get to work (or to the nearest store), especially in the Rockies or the desert.

    On the other hand you can see where, East of the Mississippi, there are
    lots of folks who are still traveling plenty. The Great Lakes states seem
    to be doing the best.



    ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
