I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'll ask!

This essay on Medium is a really sobering discussion but also very convincing about the need for social distancing: [link]

He says:

"That would be very sweet, great idea. We have 24 residents right now. Coloring books and puzzles are fun, or I could get you their names tomorrow so y'all can make some cards and make them a little more personal. I think they would really like that... You have some really kind and cool invisible friends!"

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You'd think faith healers wouldn't have to worry about such things. Or maybe they're mostly just orthopedic faith healers. Do they specialize?

Herding cats for fun

Well, this is getting interesting. Costco had no TP or paper towels, just pallets of bottled water and a store crier calling out, No TP! No paper towels! Also they are completely out of stock on flu vaccine for everyone under 65.

DH will be working from home for two weeks starting Monday. Classes online only. Lord help us.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are in Australia for some kind of event and both of them have Coronavirus. That one kind of hurts, Tom is a local hero, having attended Chabot College. Please let's not lose T.hanks when the orange buffoon is still flapping his kisser telling lies and saying stupid stuff.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Consuela, that article was very persuasive. I take public transit and am also an essential worker. Because the School of Nursing reports through the Medical Center, we are basically on call to be drafted to work at the hospital in emergencies. So normally it is possible to work from home, but right now is an all hands on deck situation

I also need toilet paper. Or at least a backup roll!
