on coping with C19 lockdown

[Conor Dary]

There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover

Tomorrow, just you wait and see

Indeed...I was telling a friend of mine in England that compared to the bombings in WW2 her 90 year old mother probably thinks social distancing is no big deal...

Ran 2 miles near and around Hayward now...no construction today unlike a couple weekends ago.

Eugene seems fairly normal...quiet like when the students are gone...but people out and about...

I did not know the singer was Vera Lynn but I remember hearing "White Cliffs of Dover" and "I'll be Seeing You" on the radio when I was a dumb 13 year old, itching to join my young uncles and older cousins in uniform. I did not really appreciate the meaning behind the lyrics then, just a crystal clear voice...75 years later, I understand why these beautiful songs made their wives and daughters cry then... and me now..

A national treasure...lovely lady.

Soft!

Here's the target for every body self-isolating:

Man runs marathon on 7m balcony

Cue the debate on proper course certification and the hunt for an official time!

Pfffft. I want to know what kind of shoes were worn before I judge the quality of that performance. 🤣

Big day tomorrow, guys. Going to the dump. Not taking a dump. We're on toilet paper restrictions. Can't spare a square.

I have found it very helpful to have regular Zoom meetings with my church group......

along that line, for today's normal family Sunday dinner (10 people, 4 households) we all linked on Facetime and did a cocktail hour together. I was really pissed at the people who kept eating Ruffles with onion dip!

Seriously, modern technology does work some miracles that just a decade ago were the stuff of science fiction.
