Another bonus. The absence of door to door solicitors and telephone solicitors. Did they all die from covid?

Another favorite is gathering on Saturday's on my lake at a little island. We all float our boats in a small shallow bay.
I witness the same phenomenon every time I visit Key West. Watch it? Sure. Enjoy it? Absolutely! Applaud? I don't get it. The sun doesn't care.Turkeytop wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 9:40 pmThe goofy tourists in Florida go out on the Clearwater Beach pier every evening and applaud the sunset.TC Talks wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 9:04 pm We have a standing Sunday sunset gathering all Summer at our "secret" beach. 50 some odd families know about it from several generations.

103-year-old Massachusetts woman beats coronavirus, celebrates with Bud Light
EASTON, Mass. – Shelley Gunn describes her Polish grandmother, Jennie Stejna, as having a feisty spirit. Stejna certainly displayed that spirit as the 103-year-old woman recently survived a bout with the coronavirus.
Three weeks ago, Gunn said Stejna was the first to test positive for coronavirus in her nursing home. She had a low-grade fever and was moved to a separate ward.
Stejna didn’t really grasp or understand COVID-19, Gunn said, but did know she was very ill. Gunn said there was always a staff member by her side.
As Stejna’s condition worsened, Gunn said they called to say what they thought were their final goodbyes. She thanked Stejna for everything she had done for her. When Shelley's husband, Adam Gunn, asked whether Stejna was ready to go to heaven, she replied, “Hell yes.”
But on May 13, Gunn said she got good news — Stejna had recovered.
“This feisty old Polish grandmother of ours officially beat the coronavirus,” Adam Gunn, said.
“We’re truly very thankful.”
The staff gave Stejna an ice cold Bud Light to celebrate, something she loved but hadn’t had in a long time, Gunn said.
Stejna was the first resident in the nursing home to recover. They still have 33 cases of coronavirus, Gunn said.
Have you named him yet?Turkeytop wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 12:23 am The chipmunk is becoming quite brazen. He gets right up on my lap and eats from my hand.
He only comes around if my wife isn't there. He must sense that she wouldn't be as welcoming.
Squirrels can be cross and nasty. But chipmunks are friendly little critters.
