Just six hours now (at this posting). Keep refreshing.
Social Distancing at the VA, Again
Returning to the VA and its Fort Museum/wildlife refuge/dog park/hiking trails once again. Becoming our outside exercise/dog walk venue of choice as it is nearby, provides a good deal of natural environment within city bounds, and affords a low rate of encounters with other humans.

To and From, On a Quiet Day
My Moon
