Swimming and Dining in The Twilight Zone

Gary reports from Central Florida:

After 45 days of voluntary house arrest our master, Governor DeSantis, has decided to release some shackles pertaining to using pools and going to a restaurant. I use the word going to a restaurant because the expression enjoying a visit to a restaurant or any other social event no longer exists. We must be masked at all times and exercise the culture killing “non social distancing “ at all times when in public. Spontaneity which breeds fun and good times in our lives has died a horrible death under the so-called Covid 19 pandemic. Imagine going to a pool wearing a mask!

I guess the idea is so you don’t bump into someone and die from corona virus and fall into the pool? …there was always a rumor that Rod Serling of Twilight Zone Fame had one last script that never made it to television before he passed away. I think it has been finally located and the Governors and Mayors are using it to set policy. …
