Quarantine Day # 33
Corona Virus
West Chester, PA
April 17, 2020
OMG, something happened today. I was up and functioning by 10 AM. By 11, I was dressed and on the road. What's become of me!!???!!?? I stopped first at the bank to cash a check and the woman said, "have a nice weekend." And I thought, "What???" No day or moment distinguished itself anymore. It is all the same day. Anyway, I headed up to Washington's Crossing, along the Delaware River, a place that has always been on my bucket list. It took me an hour to get there. And, of course, it was closed. So I took a drive to the Delaware River to get a sense of this historical crossing. But the moment was lost in the chaos of the quarantine. The park was closed until further notice. So I thought I would find a local brewery to support.
I found the River Head Brewery which has always been beer that I enjoyed so I was so damn happy. I knew I would not be be able to stop in for a beer but at least I could support this place during an economic crisis. The website said it was open so I would buy some beer to go. But it wasn't open so I left empty and heading home. I stopped at the Locust Lane Brewery in Malvern and it too was closed even though the website said it was open. And I stopped at Stolen Sun and it too was closed. So much for my humble efforts to keep the economy rolling. After a short nap, I called the Ironhill Brewery to see if I could pick up a 32oz growler. After much effort, they agreed and I got my beer and got a little bit shit faced.
I watched the documentary, Wild, Wild Country, and I need to talk to people about this event. It's a story of religious freedom, cults, local culture, the justice system, tolerance, evil, corruption, redemption and personal freedom. I am going to ask a few friends to watch this six part series as well. And I am hoping that we can discuss it when we get together again and I am hoping that I can remember some of the key points as well.
