Good Afternoon Charles,
Agree with you whole heartedly. It is stunning out there. Beauty remains in spite of it all.
Stay healthy and safe.

During a quick neighborhood walk during my lunch break on Day 1 of Working From Home, I saw and spoke to more neighbors than I have in the past five years. We collectively kept a typical Seattle social distance of 50 feet or so, and everyone was so grateful for the sun and singing birds. We are made for this, Seattle. We can distance ourselves socially like nobody else, after a century of practice. Local Introverts are having a shining moment. Now let's all say a prayer for the elderly and otherwise vulnerable. (PS, Management of The Stranger: even though a lot of what Mr. Mudede says goes over my head, I'm glad he is still here.)

Everyone go out to the same popular parks to practice social distancing! Brilliant, Seattle.

Welcome back, Charles. Today truly was beautiful outside.

I thought times like these were supposed to be in grainy black and white, like in the movies or in episodes of The Twilight Zone.

I think getting out is just as important as limiting contact. A sedentary lifestyle is not healthy, and getting some fresh air and exercise is good for the mind.
