Staying w a friend. Saw shampoo/cond I recognized but couldn't think where from ... Dogs. I have a shiny coat now.

Okay, this is weird. I've called two US banks recently and both parties ended the call with "Stay safe." Is that what we say now?

It's on! Wish me luck in my first market.

If anyone is in the area, come see me. I'll be outside Seeds Market, across from the Cumberland Brewing Company. Perfect day to grab a pint and read a mermaid story.

These are fun. I like mellifluous. wordsmarts.com/most-beautif...

I hope that amidst all this insanity and horror, something good and green will rise. We're seeing the consequences of being fossil fuel reliant, and perhaps this was what we needed to force this revolution.
