The land that time forgot

It’s astonishing how blurred time can become when you drift from hour to hour with no real purpose or place to go.

Closing the Door

      Today at Pet Food City Mamie (in a high state of excitement at being somewhere, anywhere, other than our house) and I were met at the door by a friendly person in gloves.

The Quest

Never mind the Holy Grail, I had my own mission today.

Stepping Out

My yesterday began with what’s becoming a daily two-mile walk.

Distant Thoughts

Since the dog groomer is still open and my salon is closed, should I sharpen my hair braiding skills or instead ask the groomer for a pet/owner twofer special?

Messages and Ents

          The Mamester and I took a cabin-fever-canceling drive yesterday to her most favorite park in the world.

Reconnaisance

   

      (Visual proof of the inferiority of okra, the only vegetable I will not eat. 

      Rejected even in a pandemic.)

Pandemic and Pitchforks

Yeesh. My daughter texted yesterday that the first confirmed case of the coronavirus in her town has been reported.

Far and Near

    Okay, it was tongue-in-cheek, but you've gotta love this anyway. 
The Puyallup Police Department in Washington state posted this notice on their Facebook page:
     Due to local cases of #COVID-19, PPD is asking all criminal activities and nefarious behavior to cease. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in halting crime & thank all criminals in advance. We will certainly let you know when you can resume your normal criminal behavior. 

Public Service Pics

After determining that in spite of including a fresh pear, a lunch of the last fourth of a port wine cheese ball might not have been the wisest choice for someone looking to drop a few pounds, I popped Mamie in the car and drove to the center of Venice.

Plague Update

So here’s a thought -  For those of us who have finally adjusted to sneezing into our elbows, what are we to do now with the elbow-tap greeting?

Pass the hand sanitizer

I’ve counted seven rolls here, but I still have an overwhelming urge to go buy toilet paper, not to mention rubbing my eyes or touching my face.

Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd

Last night we threw caution to the winds and went to a gathering of more than two people. 

Getting to know you

          Out in our neighborhood in Massachusetts, interactions with others in our complex were second nature. When we encounter Baxter, he’s usually overly-effusive, but basically a good guy at heart.
