When the first lockdowns went
into place, people started buying pets. Theoretically, it was because they’d
have time to train them while they were home. But I got the feeling that, like
chicks at Easter, the pets were supposed to be entertainment while people were
confined. And I wondered what would happen when people went back to work, and
the pets were left alone all day.
This morning I read that people
are buying boats so they can take mini-vacations on the water—explore uninhabited
islands, go mask-free, and be outdoors exploring instead of stuck inside.
Same question: What happens after
the pandemic? Boats need upkeep and repair, which cost a bundle, on top of the
cost of buying a boat. So what will happen to the boats when they’re no longer
wanted?
I see a lot of Craigslist ads
coming up. Maybe not soon, but someday.
