I was anxious to get out of Casa Contreras to take a good, first hand look at the city of Camarillo today, Day LII of my International Coronavirus Lockdown.
But first . . .
I was invited to another Zoom meeting
this time led by Coach Mario Vallejo,
the Offensive Line Coach of the
Tec Toluca University Borregos in Mexico
It was a good talk focusing on Inside Zone blocking techniques.
After this first of two of Zoom clinics today I went for a two mile walk with the intent of seeing how the Lockdown in Camarillo compared to the one in Varese, Italy.
Our local olive oil store was still
a possibility but for only three and a half
hours of curbside service
In Varese you have to take care of all of your olive oil needs at the supermarket.
It was still possible to buy books
but you could not enter the store
Varese's bookstores were still closed when I left two weeks ago.
Mad Max post-apocalypse vehicle?
At See's Candies they had a bit
of an overstock problem
Varese's candy needs would have been met at the supermarket again.
Our local gelateria
would be open this afternoon
Sadly, Varese's many great gelaterias were all closed, once more, go to the supermarket.
All coffee bars in Varese were closed
except for the one at Malpensa Airport's
Terminal 2 in Milan
My second Zoom coaching meeting
of the day was excellent!
Coach Brock Olivo, recently with the Chicago Bears and now the Head Coach of the Lazio Ducks in Rome, talked about Punt Coverage in great detail.
We dovetailed into a fine talk about situational football and clock management.
The scheduled 90 minute talk was a so engaging that we continued on for a total two hours and 45 minutes.
So much fun talking American football with passionate coaches!
We received UW Huskies face masks
via mail today from our friends
Mark and Susie Johnson in Seattle
Susie hand made them herself.
I think we look dashing in them, don't you?
In the afternoon, I decide to take a drive through Camarillo to get a further feel for our state's version of a Lockdown.
The Camarillo Outlet Mall
was 100% shut down
This is definitely NOT good for our city's tax base.
The parking lot at Ralph's Supermarket
looked much closer to normal
I bought a box of Rigatoni
to cook for dinner Friday night
Back to the Gelateria for a $10 pint
of Stracciatella and
Strawberry Balsamic gelato to go
with tomorrow night's dinner
In news from the net . . .
The FIDAF Tournament playoffs
will be televised live!
The Varese Skorpions will be in the thick of things to be sure.
I'll will miss sports but I get it
TRUE!
TGIF tomorrow at one of our local watering holes anyone?
