With the first lockdowns I wasn't even aware it was a thing since I don't have a TV and don't watch TV. So, I cruised on down to a favorite coffee shop after work which for me was a daily thing. For me the coffee shop was vital. I could sit on a couch, browse the internet, have a sandwich and beverage and meet with friends who either sat and chatted, shared political gossip, conservative thought, develop new relationships and maybe talk about projects we wanted to start. I show up like usual and all the doors are locked but the manager and staff were inside. He argued with me through the door and told me it was shut down for 15 days. Every new mandate further shocked and enraged me. Every extension of the mandates and lock downs I've felt that quiet anger building.
