I shop for food and booze regularly. I'll have drinks with friends at 6 ft distance. I fixed a gutter with a buddy yesterday while observing distancing. I walk through my wife's health care facility and have interacted with doctors and patients while distancing. These are largely necessary.

It isn't terribly hard to be responsible here.

I miss eating in restaurants as much as the next guy, and I feel terrible for people who own them. But there's this thing you can do which is kind of like a restaurant... It's called cooking.

If you are so hard up to eat in a restaurant that you'll drive 100 miles and risk getting sick, you need your fucking head examined. It could in fact be argued that the demise of someone with judgment as bad as yours is a positive feature rather than a downside to this disease. My guess is, you aren't going to be curing any diseases or writing the great American novel any time soon.

These are the idiotic rich people in my town.

A hostess dressed in black stood outside of Steak 48 on Friday night holding an iPad. “Do you have a reservation?” she asked each approaching party.

Last weekend, entry into the popular River Oaks District steakhouse required advance planning. Dinner reservations sold out within 15 minutes of Gov. Greg Abbott’s April 27 announcement that the state would begin reopening May 1, said chief branding officer Oliver Badgio. The restaurant is virtually sold out for the next two weeks.

For those lucky enough to snag a table, Friday’s newly adjusted dining experience felt as much like the days before coronavirus as could be expected.
