Employer - Business as usual, though customers have to maintain a 6 foot distance from the next customer in line.

City - Certain entertainment venues (Prime Osborn Convention Center, TIAA Bank Field, cinemas) have been shut down and events canceled, restaurants are drive-thru and/or pick up from online orders only, most stores are running on different operating hours. Beaches have been closed as well.

State - Apart from some cases in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area, not much.

Traffic's a lot lighter when I'm driving to work, and with schools closed for now, I don't have to contend with the speed zones near the schools I pass by each day.

Haven't had as many customers these past few days and not as much mail to sort after the retail window closes - so I've been allowed to go home earlier than I usually go.

Had to go to a hospital after spending a few hours at a NavCare regarding a stiff neck. Had to wait God know how long after the staff was convinced I had meningitis - turned out it was just a tight muscle that needed relaxing. No overnight stay for this episode, luckily.

First time I played each game in the Saints Row series, I would attempt to duplicate how I looked IRL. That's probably the only series I played that involved customizing the main character - haven't bothered with any other games that do that.

Saints Row 2 (only one out of the series I did multiple playthroughs) - after the first one, I did playthroughs where the main character looked like AVGN, Leonidas from 300, Beavis, Butthead, Mr. Rogers, and several others.

Born in '76, saw arcade machines just about everywhere when I went shopping with my mom. Played my first game of Pac-Man at a roller skating place in San Diego, and as they say, the rest is history.

Arcades started disappearing around 1984 or thereabouts, me and my family moved to Florida in October '85, and offhand the only arcades I knew were at Regency Square Mall and a local bowling alley. Said local bowling alley shut down when I was a sophomore in high school, and Regency Square Mall had an Aladdin's Castle and a Tilt at one point - only for both of them to shut down eventually (hell, Regency Square Mall is near deserted now).

I've played golf in my youth - my dad's the avid golfer of the family, though. According to him, my swing's more natural than his. I have a tendency to hook or slice the ball, though I also have a fair share of shots I like to brag about.

There's a Topgolf driving range not too far from where I went to university - I've gone there a few times.

Bowling is more my speed, though.
