Drove my son to his apparently "essential service" job this morning to keep him off public transportation. Noticed the roads were quite crowded at 0615 hours. Can't imagine all these drivers are part of the "essential services" crowd. Very strange to see as I was expecting empty streets on Staten Island.

@Earth Walker: I grew up with the Monkees on TV. At the end of the show, when they sang "We may be comin' to your town!" I always got excited - the Monkees are coming to Sleepytown, NJ to spread their high-spirited antics! Hooray! But they never showed up. That may have been the beginning of my disillusionment and loss of innocence.
