Covid Madness

Just returned from a small shopping expedition: found our local supermarket with 30 metres of empty shelves where the meat is usually found, and two metres of empty cold cabinet where frozen fruit is found. Lots of other blanks as well: seeing that the car park, usually crowded, was half empty, I

I feel for you Larry, I wasn't going to talk about this but my mother died a week ago. I'd been taking care of her for the last few years, but her mind was been fading.  It became apparent 5 months ago that it was beyond my capabilities, to continue to be her caretaker,  so we moved her to a

A six-county-wide mandate has put me under Covid-19 House Arrest today. I'm not supposed to leave home for anything other than "living essentials" like grocery shopping, particularly since I'm a "senior". Until April 7th… I'm glad I went to the grocery store as well as got a haircut over the

That's an interesting read. A couple of weeks ago we were discussing this at the end of my French cinema class (predominantly people in their 60s and 70s) and I took the macho line that it's just a bit of flu. The following day I read an article, which I can't find now, which put the worst case
