Protests and some right-wing malcontents stirred up things in North Texas, and I fear the COVID-19 germ has been given traction. We should begin to hear soon if this was the case, depending on test results.

Age + COVID19 risk were a bridge too far to join the protesters, though I have joined in the marches several times in recent years. Also, it's a robust allergy season and the Sudafed isn't enough always to suppress the symptoms. No one wants a sneezing marcher these days. I continue to sew and share face masks, occasionally diving into the closet or donation bin to find suitable cotton materials.
