And Furman University, which I drive by every day, has suspended a fraternity for partying after a lot of the students attending the parties tested positive and they are doing mandatory school wide testing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm very sorry, Trudy.

I'm very sorry, Trudy.
In COVID news here, the University where I work has been open for a couple of weeks now and intended for classes to be a mix of in-person and online students. Apparently they wanted 25-50% to attend in-person and the rest, either because of health concerns or to make social distancing possible, to attend online. However, the students who were supposed to show up in-person are mostly just attending online. Frequently the attendance for the in-person class group is just a handful of people. Not sure if this will change over the course of the semester or what.
At the Libraries where I work, we now have people counters and signs that show occupancy levels. So far our occupancy levels have not been over 50%. We also have mask monitors who go around and remind the students to wear their masks and stay 6 feet away from each other. So far no serious push-back which kind of surprises me since this is Texas.
What a seriously strange year.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Thanks.
I'm blessed that my mother is incredibly cautious.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry, Trudy.
