I think the big question is: Are they going to let you stay there tonight, or do you have to find other lodgings?

Yesterday, ALL (DE) and I went to Manchester to watch Moses Boyd. He's a boss drummer, but the rest of the band was a bit here and there for the first few songs until they'd warmed up; the last couple of tracks were smashers, though.
The barman had a bit of cheek telling me there was 'plenty of choice' as to what was on draught, when what he meant was that they had five different IPAs and bugger all else.
This morning, we nearly got caught in flagrante by the chambermaid at the hotel, then had a good old breakfast at the top of an 'alternative market' where you can still buy studded fake leather belts and bracers, should you wish to look like Motorhead circa 1983.
Then we went our separate ways; I've been commissioned to compose & arrange a shanty for our fencing group, so I did that, before running through some rapier & dagger drills.

Still trying to be informative while apolitical (but hoo boy is it hard right now), I find it interesting that:
(1) Impus Major is supposed to go to a Mago de Oz concert on the 19th, and his tendency right now is to avoid it due to the ever-increasing coronavirus outbreak here in the Bay Area. He was worried about losing the money, but I pointed out that personal safety is far more important than money, so, if money weren't an issue, what would he do? "I'd skip it."
(2) The school is supposed to take 130 kids to L.A. April 2, where the risk is an order of magnitude greater. And the choir director and her closest confidantes are calling the people thinking of canceling the trips "worry warts" and "knee-jerk fearmongers".
Apparently helping spread a pandemic is now a "right".
This outbreak doesn't have to be particularly bad. People CAN take precautions, and we've had plenty of warning. But if the majority of our population continues to treat it as "too inconvenient to do anything about", it's going to get bad here.

the passengers are supposed to be self-quarantining in their rooms, but they even admitted to the newspapers that they can't be bothered to do that, because they "have rights"
Sweet unmerciful Tharizdun I am sick of hearing that phrase. I can't remember a single time in the past ten years if not longer that the phrase "I have rights!" wasn't being used to justify someone being a jackass.
Apparently what these people think they have the "right" to do is to do anything the hells they want, and consequences - primarily to others - be damned. And we wonder why so many Americans have such a hard time supporting anything that doesn't benefit them immediately and directly or primarily aids someone else. We have "rights" but we've sacrificed empathy in exchange.

I think you need to explain the situation to the choir director in American.
"The parents are more likely to sue if you lose their money/endanger their kids. Won't somebody think of the lawyers?"

WORAN, WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME ABOUT RAGNAROK ON NETFLIXXXXXXXXXBecause at the moment we're watching Altered Carbon season 2
I approve of this.
In other news, the first episode of Lost in Space season 2 continues to be great, to my tastes!
I am super happy it came back and I hope it continues to be fairly solid!
I did need the recap, though, as it has been too long since season 1.

I get that dramatic shows are supposed to be dramatic, but it doesn't have to be constantly jumping from one crisis into another.
Great shows (like Fargo) find a balance.

So. Strange dreams last night.
First dream was me visiting Captain Yesterday for some reason. We were driving around in his car, and he was a MASTER DRIVER. He made perfect turns at high speeds, spun the car around into reverse to go backwards up steep hills, and even drove the car sideways. We talked about Pathfinder all the while. No milkmaids or dairy queens in the dream, though.
Second dream was about the end of the world. Everyone was leaving the earth to go back to heaven, for some reason. There was a massive line for admission, and everyone had to give up their earthly body to return to their heavenly ones. It turns out there were multiple heavenly races, including a race of bird-people, heavenly humans(like regular humans, but...otherworldly somehow), and a race of adorable bear people, like the cyber bears in Thundercats all those years ago. I got up in line and it seems that I was some kind of cute bear person, and was escorted to an area to wait for my body to return to its original form. I remember being peeved about that- I didnt want to be a bear person, adorable though it might be, I wanted to be able to fly! I grumbled that I wouldn't be able to fly and was instead adorable, and hing out with my other bear-folk. Some of them were happy, others wanted to go back to earth, and everyone was talking. I actually ran into someone who remembered me from before, and they were a full adorabear, and enthusiastically talking to me about how delicious heaven fruit or whatever we were supposed to eat was, and how it wasn't SO bad being a bear person, but then I woke up.
I really need to stop eating so late at night.

That is a danger, and I've seen hints of it possibly becoming a problem, so I can see what you mean. That's one of the reasons I eventually dropped The Walking Dead - just too much one thing after another. (Because it never felt like they ever made any progress, and whenever they did it was just undone the next season anyway.)
Though I also dropped that one because the people became less and less likable as time went on.
Also, also: I think the constant, "This Week in Peril" that LiS has going for it, is an attempt at a more dramatic version of the nonsense the original LiS had; I do hope they have at least one or two "downtime" episodes, though, because it'll be rough and exhausting, otherwise.

Other than that, it's "entertaining" trying to convince my 89-year-old mother that flying from King County, Seattle to Oakland, California is not a wise plan.
She's an M.D./Ph.D. who was the senior lecturer in immunology at U.C. Berkeley for 30 years.
And she's only considering postponing the trip...

W00000000000t!
This coming Thursday, my school was *supposed* to be hosting about fifty visiting Montessori teachers and administrators for a three-hour school tour, observation, and luncheon as part of the big American Montessori Society annual conference we are helping to sponsor here in Dallas next weekend.
On the last day of school before Spring Break.
This has now been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns.
The conference will still proceed as planned, but all of the school tours have been canceled.
Can I say, just for the record, how incredibly [expletive redacted] ecstatic I am to not have fifty people trooping through my classroom on the last morning before break?
