For the most part, people have been pretty awesome during this corona outbreak. Humans tend to pull together at tragedies and Americans certainly exemplify that trait. But some people either don't care or don't believe it or both. Young kids (anyone under 30...) seem to believe themselves immune. Or not understand.

Virus life-hacking #2 * I had bought a bunch of flaxseeds ages ago for fiber. They keep well (until you grind them). I tried making flour out of it and bread and it worked great!

It was quite windy and chilly last night and I was walking my dog in an alley. I saw a woman walking her dog. It's pretty unusual to bump into another person at that time/place. I could tell she wanted to talk and commiserate. She was probably a bit drunk or drugged. Had been furloughed from work because of the virus. But I wasn't having it. I don't need to hang around random strangers while a dangerous virus is making... Read More
