Loss of "Urban Privilege"

When I visit New Hampshire, I'm reminded of how convenient it is to be way out in the woods and able to go shooting by simply stepping outside.

Of course that, and the peace and quiet when you aren't shooting, are the biggest attractions to being out way past where the buses don't run. If you want to do anything else, it pretty much involves hopping in the car for anywhere between fifteen and thirty minutes, and Amazon Prime is still two day delivery.

Living in Broad Ripple means having to drive to the range, but being able to walk or bicycle to stores and restaurants, and if I'm feeling really lazy, pretty much anything can get delivered: Door Dash for food, Drizly for alcohol, and Amazon PrimeNow is two hours instead of two days.

Normally.

Drizly has pretty much collapsed, with most of the local liquor stores being too short-handed to meet demand. Of course all the restaurants...the ones that are still running...are carryout only; Door Dash has gotten spotty. And Amazon's normally same-day PrimeNow is crushed under the demand, releasing a limited number of future delivery slots every day.

I've been sitting here with Diet Mountain Dew in my virtual cart since Tuesday, hitting refresh with no luck. It looks like I'm going to be heading over to the Safeway, to observe the use of cargo cult PPE by the employees.
