COVID-19 vaccines

Yet another thousand pieces

/ Roadtirementvintage / 25 Comments

Space X, United States Space Force and the International Space Station all are interesting topics of late. Not wanting to be left out, we launched another 1000 piece puzzle to help keeping us from totally going nutso during the virus situation!

Our son picked this one out, and we’re just beginning to put it together. As you can see, we’ve started on a bit of the borders. And to quote that famous space traveler Buzz Lightyear: “To infinity…and beyond!” At least until the puzzle is done…

Don’t let your guard down! Stay safe and get your vaccine as soon as you can!

COVID-19 empty park

Not a soul in sight

Sher and I took a drive the other day as the weather was nice even though a tad bit on the cool side. As our son hadn’t been out for a while either, he graciously drove.

We started our jaunt  driving around town, and we immediately noticed that there was a fair amount of traffic out on the streets. No pedestrians in sight, with the exception of a fellow with a carry-out order from a local restaurant.

No children laughing and romping around today

Then it was off to a local city park. The attached photos are the result. The nice shiny new playground equipment had been closed with caution tape. The normally busy park was empty. We did enjoy getting out for a while, maintaining social distance. Heck, we stayed in the car! We do not know how the upcoming “open the country back up” suggestions will affect us. Without a vaccine or real effective treatment we’re not sure when it will be safe for us to get back to normal, whatever that “new normal” will look like.

Stay safe and healthy out there, folks!
