8. My local paper comes out on Wed and Fri, and in the Friday edition

there were three listings in the obit section.

Goodness knows how many will be in the Wednesday paper.

Holy Crap! A freaking pandemic!

9. Somewhat ironic.

I just read in Wikipedia how in 1991 Travelena was in a sitcom that year with Farah Fawcett.
