>Ft. Lauderdale Beach & Miami Beach are closed -- plus the bars can have hardly no one in them and have to close early -- I'm sure the spring-breakers are ticked off. I imagine over the next 2 or 3 months some of the bars on Ft Lauderdale beach (and Miami Beach too) will go bankrupt. I'm sure they stocked up huge amounts of booze for spring break and it probably makes up a good % of their yearly income. Now they got booze they can't sell and no customers during the busiest time of the year.

I heard they had trouble with election workers not showing up in Broward County today. Who would have thought - Broward alias "Hanging Chad" County having problems with an election. I went to the Franklin County Senior Citizens Center and voted with no problem. The Centennial Bank here only has the drive-in windows open and the IGA still has toilet paper so I guess things are pretty much OK. I went through Tallahassee and over to Madison yesterday. The traffic seemed about normal but several of the fast food restaurants had drive-in service only.
