If we count from when Distancing was recommended, I would lose track, but if I count from when things officially shut down here in Los Angeles, it would be Day 24. And, as mentioned, I finally experienced it first-hand yesterday. Not saw it; EXPERIENCED it.

I very much appreciate that threads like this have been started, because THESE ARE THE RECORDS that will add to the next generation's history books. Even the young ones of today.

Our history books featured photos of people in powdered wigs.

Future history books will feature photos of people in masks, and gloves.

How primitive, and a testimony to how much progress there is yet to be made: medically. Socially. Governmentally.

So I shall freely lament on these platforms that lend to republication. My fellow Goodreaders, we are writing future texts when we post. Especially that this forum is international. A blessing, and we, who appreciate the power of the written word, are on the metaphorical front lines, as so many are out there physically.

Tell their story, for they have not the time for that right now.

Thanks for reading. Love and blessings to you. Today I plan to alternate the weekend housework projects with Reading Sprints, so I shall see you soon enough.
