2020: Day 64 of self-quarantine:
Was working my crossword this morning
and heard this racket
outside. Car horns honking, sirens
blaring. Thought maybe it was a
graduation thing. But we have no kids
that age here. Turns out, our neighbor,
Sal, is a veteran of the Korean war. The
Angel Flight he was supposed to travel to Washington on was cancelled, so they
did this tribute to him. Long lines of
vintage cars all decorated, police cars with lights flashing and sirens
going. What a nice tribute. I donned my mask and went out to the crowd
that was forming. Sal’s kids, cousins,
brother, and some neighbors were there.
His wife, Sally, is 91. He’s
pushing 90 (but you’d never know it).
And I was the only one wearing a mask.
What is with these people? Don’t
Sal and Sally’s kids know they could be putting them at risk BY NOT WEARING A
MASK? Unbelievable. I wanted to smack them all. Anyway, that was the most exciting thing that
has happened around here in the past two months.
