Normally a claim reserved for dog poop violators.

I'm walking/running around the neighborhood a LOT these days. I've noticed that a lot of other people are too. Initially, I'd go to the park about a mile away, but that was soon too crowded to safely be able to get away from people, so I'm sticking to the residential streets.
I've noticed that everyone seems to be acknowledging each other a lot more than before times. People stop to ask about the dogs more (than usual). People smile as they pass. An older lady got off the sidewalk and into the middle of the street the other day as she saw me coming, and when we passed, she gave me a bright big smile. I think it's sort of an attempt to acknowledge that we're doing weird shit in the name of this stupid situation. And to have SOME human connection, even if fleeting.
Most of the neighborhood facebook page is dedicated to hunting down paper towels.
