Adaptation to COVID world

Hmm. I've felt like I've been in a bubble all week ... at our Amateur championship, spent five nights in a Westin that was lightly populated to say the least, got mostly takeout and brought it back to the room. It wasn't the worst. And hotels are freaking dirt cheap right now -- this was a Level 4 Marriott for less than $500 for a week. I'll enjoy the points, thanks.

 

Maybe!

Princeton Scraps Plan to Return Undergraduates to Campus

 

My kids principal, during a zoom meeting with parents last week, said 'school is no longer a place.' He's not wrong.

 

I think most college students won't be in a rush to get back to campus if they can't go to parties or there are limited extra-curricular activities.

 

Just a bunch of white kids trying to make a profit during a pandemic. For shame!

 

I think there's some truth to this, but there are also a lot of kids who are living in difficult or untenable conditions at home, and school is their sanctuary. I would have been in that group, and even if I would have had to stay in my room, you could not have kept me away.

 

Apparently they plan to film everything and the residents have to sign over all rights to any photos during their stay. It’s like Real World: Pandemic.

 

Here's a new one.

I get an email every morning from the USPS, showing me an image of what's supposed to be delivered that day. This week, I noticed a letter from a nearby town but the return sender's name wasn't familiar.

Always spooks me, especially with my sordid past. So I was curious but wary of what was coming.

When it came, it was a handwritten letter from a Jehovah's witness, apologizing for not being able to spread the Gospel in person! (Because I pick up the neighbor's junk mail, he had one as well.)

Now THAT's perseverance in action!

 

I get those, too. And they're long letters. How many does each Jehovah's Witness write each day?

 

Same here.

 

Jesus.

 

At one stop, an obit for a JW member ran about 70 inches. So, yeah, prolific writers. And they paid for it.
