Two years ago, February 5 2020, I was in Lake Worth Florida, doing some work around our place down there and tending to my rapidly aging aunt. According to my travelogue, it was the "best weather day of the entire trip", and I spent many hours by the poolside in the sun.

Two days later, I was up at the fabulous Disney World, then made my way back home, arriving in this fair Commonwealth on February 10. Things were just starting to awaken from their winter slumber at work - but then on February 26 came the Biogen Conference and all hell broke loose promptly after that.

Since then - two years and counting - I have not travelled any further from home than the campus of Johnson & Wales in Providence. 52 miles at the greatest distance.

In two years -

No Scouting.

No Meetings.

No Training.

No Vacations.

No Travel.
-
No Movies.

No Restaurants.

No Shopping.

No Malls.

No Day Trips.

No Museums.

No Music.

No Concerts.

No YMCA.

No Swimming.

No Sauna.

No Seeing People.

No Talking.

No Human Interaction.

In short - NO SOCIETY.

We have gone around the sun twice in all this time. Is it really just two years? It feels like it may as well be two thousand.

2022 may or may not be our "coming back party". There are still morons out there that deny any of this is real. Like the meme says, refusing to wear a mask or get vaccinated to 'oppose a mandate' ensures that we will continue to have them.

The country remains as balkanized as ever; perhaps even more so than at any time in our history. What should have been a unifying event ended up having the opposite effect, and I see no road to recovery.

The United States has changed; we are no longer United, and we are certainly far from a functioning society in the eyes of the rest of the world.
