+1 And thanks for hanging in there.

On walks I notice our neighborhood has never looked better. People have plenty of time to attend to yards and gardens, and take care of little things on their homes. It's like spring cleaning on steroids.

You be careful Windhund!
Remember to talk to people to let the stress out.
I suspect most of your Code Blues end poorly.

Bamboo restaurant in Westford is still doing takeout.
You call it in, drive into the parking lot and wait, they bring it out to your car.


my local CVS now has the big plexi screen in front of the clerk and a card table in front of the counter to ensure spacing.
The floor has taped boxes to identify correct spacing.

The highways are close to empty,. I've said before I haven't seen rt495 like this is 40 years.
a year ago my daily trip would have been stop and go on the way in.
Thursday I passed a state cop parked on the entrance ramp are at what may have been in excess of 90 mph.

Businesses that have been closed have been adapting to exist virtually offering delivery.
I saw one ar dealer offering to sell cars by appointment. Sort of skirting the whole shut down thing.

You mean "allegedly' at 90 m.p.h. I wonder what 128 is like I can't imagine that being empty!

A couple of months ago, wearing a handkerchief or mask on your face when entering a business would have raised concern ... now, NOT wearing one raises concern!

Whole thing is surreal.
I can't image how emotionally draining is must be for you and the others working in these times. Stay safe and as they say - try to leave your work at the office.
