And I wonder how long it'll take before we have FIVE MILLION cases of COVID-19 here in this country. Just a matter of days, probably.

Thanks for following along, my friend! Visual

We're taking care, as meticulously as possible. I just got back from an hour of tai chi - the first since March-something! Outside in the local park, with lots of room to spread out I'm amazed at how much I didn't forget! And EVERYBODY wore either masks or neck gaiters. And we stood at least eight feet apart, if not morel We know because one of the women in the group brought a tape measure!

in the late evening when there are few if any people about. Yup, we have to do our best to hold on to every bit of sanity we can muster because we are in for a real bumpy ride in the coming months.


Gotta check out those neck gaiters. Thanks.

I'm now pulling one on, over my head, when I'm getting dressed in the morning, and wearing it around all day - kinda like a stretchy fabric necklace - all the way through til bedtime. You forget you have it on. But then, if you have to go to the store or the pharmacy or pick up dinner, you already have it on and you just pull the top of it up over your nose, and you're good to go!

I love 'em! I have several and I mix 'n' match 'em with whatever else I'm wearing, and they're fun! A rather chic little accessory for these COVID-afflicted times. Not terribly expensive, either. Six to seven bucks at most.
