To provide relief from boredom during the coronavirus quarantine, Walking Pants Curiosities, the gift shop on G.E. Patterson has launched the Super Secret Jigsaw Puzzle Palooza Club<\/a>. They scour places near and far to uncover the most fascinating puzzles, and deliver them to your door. Click the link to see puzzles they have in stock, and if there’s puzzle you want that’s out of stock, use the NOTIFY ME feature to let them know it’s in demand so they can order more. Also, check back in the next few days for a board game collection.<\/p>\n

Heck, don’t just stop at the puzzles and the board games… visit their entire store online<\/a> if you haven’t had a chance to make it to their physical location… or even if you have!<\/p>\n

Carbunkle Trumpet, a Brooklyn resident and former Memphian, has a take on people he’s observed openly flouting Safer at Home\/shelter-in-place rules<\/a> and posting on social media. Raggedy nails and exposed roots need to be symbols of pride during this pandemic, an acknowledgement that the well-being of others is more important than personal vanity.<\/p>\n

I do want to point something out though… Prohibition didn’t eliminate the consumption of alcohol in America. What it did was lead to black markets. If the quarantine goes long enough, I think we will inevitably see a similar effect. Non-essential services like nail appointments and hair appointments to an extent will be driven underground, where in addition to increasing COVID-19 risk, they won’t be regulated or taxed.<\/p>\n
