Jim's Quarantine Diary 3/19/20. (original) (raw)

1. Efforts continue on my time machine. Progress is being made slowly. I have now calculated that I will need 1.21 gigawatts of power.
2. On a somewhat related note, Apple released a new macbook air yesterday with 1.1 gigawatts processor. Need to break into Apple research lab, they have to have a 1.21 gigawatt prototype somewhere.
3. Risked stepping outside my house last night. Very disorienting. I continue to have hallucinations of people in the streets, walking dogs, jogging, kids playing. I may be going mad after days of isolation inside. Green plants looked greener too.
4. Dodged between the coronavirus spores (yeah you can see them, and you have to run a zig zag pattern) and safely made it to my car.
5. Drove through my town. More hallucinations. Parking lots and restaurants were filled? Is this real, or imagined. Cannot tell anymore. Thought I saw an open Starbucks.
Madness is surely setting in!
(Note: stay the heck home people. This is the worst time to be out and interacting. So little tests done, some people only experiencing mild or no symptoms. This is the time when the most spread occurs! Staying home now can save LIVES)
