Things, etc.
Today makes 46 years since my Catholic confirmation. Just so you know. These days I'm dealing with next year's budget for my UU church.
I suppose I should be keeping some record of my movements, in case contact tracing becomes a huge deal. This morning the boy toy and I went out on a drive. First we stopped at Wawa in Beltsville, so that he could buy cigarettes and a cup of coffee. I didn't get out of the car. Then we went to Home Depot in College Park so we could buy a few items. Finally we went to Spicknall's, a farm in Beltsville, where we bought some herb plants and tomatoes. Some of our herbs are perennials, but every year we have to buy basil.
My list of canceled/postponed events expanded today -- my national science writers' group was supposed to have its annual meeting in Boulder, Colorado, the second weekend of October. But now that will be replaced by various virtual events, and the in-person event is moved to October 2021. This makes me wonder what will happen to my fall events -- Storvik's Battle on the Bay, War of the Wings, and the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Especially the last of that trio -- you can get 20,000 people on site on a busy weekend, and that is the general public, *not* super-courteous SCAdians. There is NO social distancing there.
