He did say the room where he waited had no others in it, but who knows what was circulating in the air (or on the staff's clothing). Hope you guys stay safe.
    Oh, I hope he’s okay. We are staying in and my daughter is wearing a mask and staying away from co workers. We are all still well. Hoping the same for you all.

    So far so good. We feel relatively safe going out right now. Beginning next week though we're not going to town more than absolutely necessary. Tourist season here ramps up around the 4th of July. There are already hundreds here but they're spread out across the entire region so it's not too bad. It will be crazy busy in town then till Labor Day.

    Still trying to figure out how to go visit my middle daughter in Sept. (She's due in late August and wants me to come help out for a week.) Can't drive through Canada. Flights are ridiculously cheap ($200 round trip!!!) but is the risk worth it, especially with the mandatory layover in Detroit? Driving through the U.S. would take two whole days and come with its own risks.

    These are unhappy times.

    I hope there is some way you can make it. These are scary times.

    Yep. And if they aren't bad enough, yesterday I get an email from a fishing charter place in Homer offering an entire day, multi-species fishing trip for a couple hundred bucks! So I stupidly looked at airfares and you can get a round-trip ticket for less than $800!!! <sobs heartbrokenly>

    Congrats Gramma.............

    Is Canada considering building a wall & having America pay for it??
