Here in sunny Florida we've begun our government-imposed period of house arrest. Governor Ron DeSantis has decreed that all non-essential personnel should remain in their homes unless visiting essential services (doctor, grocery store, etc).
Of course, I'm not going to do that.
I'm considered "media" since I work for an local magazine, so I'm able to go pretty much anywhere I want, assuming it's not closed. For instance, I can't go to the beach or the local fishing pier, as those considered closed and off limits. This past week I've driven into downtown St. Augustine, which is always bustling until the bars close, and it's been deserted. It's almost creepy walking down the main drag in town and nobody is out and about.
This is a shot I took around 9:30pm on Wednesday, before the start of the "stay at home" order. It shows Cathedral Street and the Bridge of Lions. Under normal circumstances you'd have a slim chance of finding a parking spot on this street at that time of the evening. The bridge always has traffic passing over it, but I could've laid down and taken a nap on it Wednesday night:
And, just for fun, at the suggestion of a friend I'm going to shave off my goatee. I'll then post a photo a day to social media, staying unshaven until I can go to a bar and order a Martini.
Hey, if nothin' else, this sure is gonna' be weird!
