I'd take this topic in a different direction. In an e-mail post from Riv today, while hoping for the best in the future for those financially impacted by the public shut-downs, Will discussed the sort of positive effects - lesser vehicle traffic on favorite routes, etc. My property backs up to a large public park and instead of what I would normally be seeing this time of year - parents standing along the sidelines of soccer fields with their designer stainless coffee mugs filled with Starbucks, their noses planted in their smart phones - what I'm seeing this Spring is some of those same parents out in the park actually playing with their children. In that regard, it's a refreshing thing to see.
