I had been planning a three-month road trip since early 2019 that was supposed to start next weekend.

The whole mantra regarding 18 months to a vaccine was already insanely optimistic.  Even the idea we'd get a vaccine in the first place was optimistic.

Whole generations born and raised without seeing beyond the four walls of wherever their matriarch was when the stay-at-home order of 2020 was executed.

My rate for weddings I've been to that the bride and groom are still married today is around 33%.

That doesn't work too well with the three hinocies in the mountains slightly to the west.

I was reading my own posting history for I'm-a-huge-loser and had no idea what the hell "hinocies" was so I googled it.

The only results was that very post and this extremely bizarre site:  http://167.88.165.30/

Uh, I guess I could redirect that.  The direct IPs were useful for testing before the domain moved over.
