Better masks? Maybe
If I take advice from Scientific American, my masks are insufficient. Inefficient. Inexpensive, actually. We’re not done with facewear just yet, and so the need
for better is real. Or, I can continue what I’ve been doing for close to two years… avoid the rest of humanity. I’ve figured out that I don’t need to wander around the mall. My local grocery store is small, with arrows to keep me headed in the right direction. I don’t do public fun. Ergo, my current mask strategy is probably all I need. For the record, I’m also double-vaxxed.
This just in: pics from a recent fly-by of Mercury. The surface looks as inhospitable as we had been promised for a lifetime. I guess somebody wants to remind us that there are no flights headed there, any time soon. Some folks have taken the recent uptick in private rocket travel to dream.
There is a music festival underway, close to Montreal. Scaled back from other years. However, someone managed to crash a small plane close by, assuring that the media attention will continue. Not the motivation, but the result. Blurred lines.
The federal elections are over, and we’re getting feedback from what it was like, out there on “the trail”. Not much fun, apparently. The press is as polarizing as anything found south of here, and a lot of venom was spewed. By the electorate, not the politicians. Muddy going, in what should have been a dry, fall road. My hope is that we will get a couple of seasons of respite, so that the snakes can crawl back under their respective rocks.
