"WEAR YOUR MASK" says the newest graffiti on the cement wall under an overpass by the trail I walked on yesterday morning. It makes me so sad to see that message and realize that once again it is relevant to our lives. If everyone eligible and medically able to would have just gotten the shot in the past few months, our country wouldn't be in this mess: of overcrowded hospitals and people once again dying of Covid. We all want to put the pandemic behind us and get back to normal: re-start the economy, have children learn in person in school, and socialize without fear. So, why, why, why, when we have the means to do this -- do so many people refuse to follow medically sound advice? My frustration knows no bounds.

Well, I get my second Pfizer dose tomorrow. It's great that we're getting extra sick time for Vaccine-related illness. This past weekend was really nice. We spent a lot of time outside. I've started walking to shops, which is a great way to get a little exercise now that the weather is nicer. I've acquired a mask with a neck strap, so it's easy to take on and off as needed. The garden is looking great, too.
