Looks like all the regulars might have been Sheltering in place.

It is eery.

I am at work now and it is shocking how few people there are here. Tuesday and Wednesday are our busiest days of the week, every week, but this week they were pretty much devoid of customers and on Wednesday we cancelled the car auction. I work at one of the largest car auction houses in North America. Due to our governor prohibiting gatherings of more than 50 people, we were forced to not hold the weekly auction. normally we would sell about 850 to 1000 cars in a 4-Hour auction in 8 Lanes. This week? No auction at all.

Hitchcockian...is that a word?

If it isn't, it should be.

I picked the wrong pandemic to give up drinking!

Have one for me, and be well.

Hitchcockian...is that a word?

If it isn't, it should be.

I have seen the word "Hitchcockian" several times over the past 40 years. I would say that it is indeed a word, like "Pavlovian" or " Freudian".

Is it feasible to go to online auctions?

Nice shot of a typical lock-down ... no, wait.
