I went out again today, over to the Legion Hovel for morning coffee with some of "the boys." Nothing much new there, just a lot of coughing and some of the guys looking feverish and tired. But the corpse-laden tumbrils are rolling through the streets, and another plague pit is being dug over where the third green of the golf course out back used to be -- fortunately we won't be in the direct line of the wind! The first pit was downhill, where the second green used to be, but it's all filled in now. Over on the fifth fairway they're piling up wood for a pyre on Saturday evening.
