PS...this photo was sent to me, it's not me, I'm in the process of making masks this weekend.  Our lab donated the ones we had.   

Live Long and Prosper .

Stay Safe Out There!

Bill, tgo

Home made version...

My neighbors still have their sense of humor... (both are doctors)



Ordinarily, the Bear is decorated for whatever Holiday is in season... the other kinda' humorous angle here is that bears are a nuisance out here. There are bunches of them, approaching overpopulation. They have memorized that Wednesday is trash day. So guess what happens every Tuesday night? Uh-huh. And they don't really wear masks.

But this still gave me a much-needed giggle.

I wore one to make a quick trip to the supermarket today, and the whole time, I had to stifle this impulse to say 'Stick 'em Up ! '

What a world.

Too bad Paul TBO isn't around. This would have been the perfect opportunity for him to put on a mask and not look suspicious.

Paul would have worn a stocking - not very effective, but a bold fashion statement!  Sure do miss The Bad One.

Mom made a pile of cloth masks for all of us. Now she's on to sewing to share. I don't want to hear anything about our fabric hoard ever again hee-hee!

Love the glasses. Mondrian or Partridge?

Thanks! If you ask me, Mondrian. If you ask my husband, Partridge! Sometimes I compromise, and then it's Partridge colored Mondrian.

And if you want to make one and don't have a sewing machine, here is one easy way to do it...

Are you all referring to the Partridge Family bus, or is there another artist named Partridge who painted similar to Piet Mondrian?

Bill, tgo

Love the wild horses, Mica.    At first glance, I thought that was RealTree camo.

Well, I just got handed a pretty strange sounding memo... at least it would have sounded strange a couple months ago. In addition to the isolation protocols already in place, I'm being issued 3 washable masks. Anyone who enters this building must be wearing one. I'm not to leave the building on any official business without one. FWIW, I already have N95 masks here; I'm required to wear them to handle some of the chemicals we use in water treatment. And I'm already fitted to wear a full-face respirator for the gaseous stuff that'll leave you on the floor bumpin' into yourself. chlorine So this memo would be a little comical if it weren't so dad-blamed serious.

We were given the option yesterday to receive face masks at work.  I immediately sought out my supervisor for one, they are N95's.  I should be able to get a week out of one.  None of my co-workers opted for using them...
Only one person gave me a "what are you doing?" look...  other people's reaction was just to allow more physical distancing which is good.


I obviously work with people of different skill sets.     
It will be interesting to see how many are wearing masks today.
