How strange it was to go into the grocery store just a few days ago and see all the folks wearing masks and scarves and what not over their mouths and noses. These were the early adopters of what the CDC is now recommending for us all when we venture out in to public places. Already the price of bandanas has tripled on Amazon, if you can find them in stock at all. Here at home we have a couple of buffs, courtesy of Camp Jefferson, our end of the year activity for the sixth graders (and another casualty of the pandemic). We also have a few bandanas, lots of cloth napkins, and the hair ties to transform those into masks for when we go... not outside (yet), but indoors to public places, when we must.
Could this situation get any more surreal?

Ah, the buff! Who knew it would come in handy in a pandemic? I've been wearing one of Chris's construction masks the few times I've entered a store over the past five days, but my Camp Jefferson buff would be so much more cheerful and attractive.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about the buff! I know I've got one around here somewhere. Fortunately we also have Brian's stash of bandanas.
ReplyDeleteI love your title!
