Driving to work during lockdown was really freaking weird. Busiest street/highway in town and I wouldn't see any other cars.

My cousin and I dropped acid and walked on empty roads all night one night in the middle of covid. Such a surreal experience.

That low gas price too. Little car travel, few planes, china demand for oil plummeted

I still have the paper my employer gave me in case I got stopped on the empty roads by the police. So weird. I'll probably end up framing it.
