Thanks Lil ! #667 will be my last post on that subject. I've vowed to stopped counting the dead and to spend more time with the living in the real world. :)

Shopping report:

Wife and I went for our weekly grocery run, and to the local feed store, today. We noticed more traffic, also more shoppers and store workers wearing masks - even brawny guys at the feed store loading dock were wearing masks.

Milk at the grocer was plentiful. We were able to buy as many gallons as we wanted. So we bought three gallons, and will freeze 2.

One of the local seafood restaurants had a 10 lb special of steamed seafood with all the fixins bagged and available for pickup. We splurged and had a steamed seafood dinner at home tonight.

People we interacted with today seemed genuinely more friendly and helpful. Life goes on...

I know what you mean. I was typing up the big state update last night and realized that there are a dozen or more sites people can get those numbers, with graphs and all kinds of goodies. So, I’ll just post news items that I think might be of interest.

I’m also preparing now for a second wave that people are discussing... added some more rows to my garden and this weekend I’m working on expanding my coop.

I’ve also noticed an uptick in traffic.

more people are out and virtually everyone is wearing a mask. Still shaking my head over those wearing them alone in cars or out for a walk, and those who have it covering their mouth but not their nose. Three’s an awful lot of the latter.
