Perfect Path Total Contact no longer?

Yikes! 

Ironically, if one want’s to be mostly free, the only practical approach is  to isolate yourself off-the-grid in a cabin in the woods somewhere. Lots of people do it. I saw it on TV.  Interesting stuff.  Gotta figure a way to run my hifi there though.  Will need an efficient amp. Or maybe just headphones....

OP I went to Grad school in Western Kentucky.  Lived there for 2 years.   One year in a trailer park with $75 rent living on 5 pound blocks of cheese.  It’s a wonderful place to be in many ways, even more so probably these days. I think you would like it there.

The LA Mayor is also encouraging citizens to snitch on their neighbors if they see them outside where they shouldn't and pay them to do so. Sounds an awful lot like a certain European country in the 40's . 

Our neighborhood had a virtual happy hour with social distancing outside  in one of the courts the other weekend. Very nice! Distance makes the heart grow fonder as they say. Don’t fink on me now!
