    I walk into a convenience store an hour ago and took it for granted that the guys delivering the new stock all wore scarfs as face masks. A year ago, if 3 guys went in to a store, when it was 90F (~32C) outside, everyone would have thought about a possible holdup. Now it is just same old, same old. I found this entertaining and thought of the following. Sorry, I deleted all the rest of my comments/thoughts, on account of it being a great scenario for a book. Which I have added to my ideas journal for future reference. I will share this with my brother (a published writer), and record all my ideas. Hint: Most of those here that are ~40">=" years old, know what this can lead to (I hope). Most of those under 30 take the bull for granted.

        :-D :-D :-D No, I afraid George died 10 years before I was born. But, my little bother (7 inches taller than me), is alive and well.

          You do realize I don't give a . (Possible) Relatives that died before me or my brother was born are irrelevant.
