There are those of us who would say that the lucky one is the one who can live for two months on $1200 in an area with wonderful photographic options. As a married couple my wife and I got the full $2400. Around here that wouldn't even pay one month's rent for a typical small apartment, which is causing some problems among the 20% or so of the (previously) working population who no longer have a paycheck coming in. As a retired homeowner whose wife is still working (remotely; she hasn't left the house for weeks) I definitely count myself among the lucky ones. And when the lockdown ends I'll still have Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and several other national parks within driving distance. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
