That's why I am enjoying the makeup section of CVS, Walgreens, and Harmon's. I don't want to deal with the drama of Target, Walmart, or grocery stores. CVS, Walgreens, and Harmon's are less likely to block off nonessential things. I understand that we should technically be home, but these restrictions are only going to get worse, so I am enjoying what I can. Hopefully things don't get bad to a point like Italy where you cannot even walk on your own street and/or office building parking lots.

I went to the Point Pleasant fish market...or I thought I did. I was confused because what they showed on TV was an open air market, and where my gps took me was a restaurant and store with just the store open by having the door open, a list of available fish on the door, and a table blocking the entrance. You go up (once the last people have moved away) tell them what you want, give them your name, and then back away until they call you with your order and you pay.

Someone on the line told me that the open-air market is a few blocks away, and they went there first, but the line for the market was backed up over a bridge, and it's cold and windy out there. I suspect the prices are better at the open market. But I got some good stuff and supported the NJ fishing industry.

Sunday is supposed to be really nice. I plan to walk around the neighborhood and get exercise like the CDC is recommending. Obese people are dying at a much higher rate from this thing. Make sure you are not one of them. Get your exercise

I have been, regularly. Was going to my park, but sadly it's now closed. I still walk the neighborhood. Probably will today despite this awful wind.

Me and my sons are going to a park today to exercise; exercise is good on so many fronts to prevent illness and heal the body from it.

Did your local parks stay open? The park where I usually walk is a county park, and therefore it is no longer available to me. I walk around the neighborhood.

Ah man, I hate they closed your park. I feel like every week, park closes. Near our neighborhood, the gate wasn't closed to one play area, people are avoiding it to comply with social distancing. Theres also a field in my neighborhood with bleachers; people walking and jogging, maybe only 10 to 20 at a time all spaced out. What I found is the bigger the park, and if it doesn't have the big defined entry point, the people can't be kept out. We in Union County...

seems like every week its a new irritating announcement about something closing or being taken away.

As far as I know, cemeteries are open. Find a nice, large, old cemetery and walk around. The Victorians used to pack a lunch and spend the day. They were some of the first parks in cities.

My family always loved going to cemeteries.
