No Lingering

For once politics and COVID-19 have been blown off the local front pages. The morning news reports 55 mph winds are buffeting the Peninsula. Fortunately, there are no reports of downed trees or power lines...yet.

All three of our garbage cans were intact, though many of our neighbors' had been knocked over. I would have straightened a few and retrieved the contents strewn about, but COVID-19 has made touching any surfaces potentially dangerous---that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Speaking of the coronavirus, I'll go for a long walk today. The more cautious ones in my circle have advised that I wear a mask all the time outdoors because of the micro-droplets that linger. With 55 mph winds there will be no danger in the air.
