I went for a drive this morning to the local shopping center where Walmart is located, I didn't need to buy anything I just wanted to look around and see what was going on, and to charge up the truck battery a little bit since I haven't driven it in a while.

The Walmart didn't look busy, the parking lot looked like it had the normal amount of cars in it and there were no lines at the door. Popeyes chicken place was open and I think I saw a couple people walk inside the restaurant entrance, I thought people had to use the drive-through at restaurants now days but maybe I didn't see what I thought I saw since I was just driving by.

There's a PetsMart, and some kind of a fitness gym sort of place next to each other and there were 8 or 10 cars parked in the area where people could be going into either one of those stores, so it looked like one or both of those places were open. I can understand why a place that sells pet food and things like that might need to be open, but I can't imagine why anybody would want to be working out and sweating around other people in our current situation.

There's other stores in that shopping center, like a pizza place, a Karate place, and other normal shopping center type stores and they all appeared to be closed. I feel sorry for small businesses like that at a time like this, I don't know how they're going to survive especially in a shopping center type environment where the rents are high and the profit margins are razor thin.

But anyway, driving around this morning told me that if I needed anything it is readily available and since things are going to start un-isolating pretty soon shopping should start getting easier and not worse for a change.

"Stone Walls do not a Prison make,
Nor Iron bars a Cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an Hermitage.
If I have freedom in my Love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above,
Enjoy such Liberty."
