Hello awesome

There is a fantastic park not far away called Patapsco. I scared two frogs and a baby Copperhead. Copperheads are poisonous snakes but it was so teeny I wasn't afraid. 

We signed the paper to get a regular roof. They aren't making cool shingles on our side of the country now. It would cost 
four 
thousand
American
dollars
to ship them across the country. 
Karen said we needed a new roof last year so we'll move forward rather than put it off and see if things change next year. 

As Rob pointed out, there are variants. 
When two variants love each very much...
The British variant and the Indian variant got together and made a baby and that variant is in Vietnam and seems to be highly transmissible. 
I haven't talked with people about this so I don't know how my friends feel about going maskless indoors. 
Someone I know has resumed going into the office. The policy there is that if you are in your own office, with the door closed, you can be maskless, but everywhere else you need a mask. 
Outdoors I see increasing proportions of people maskless. 
I was in two buildings - for the first time in 14 months - late last week and each time everyone but one individual wore a mask. No one got close to anyone else. 

I wore a mask indoors both times. 
Outdoors I have one around my neck and put it on if I go past someone wearing one, out of respect/consideration, and put it on if there are lots of flying insects in my face. 

How do you feel about being maskless, indoors, with people who you don't know the vaccine status of? 
Will you shake people's hands?
Are you hugging vaccinated people?
