These days we're all understandably a little paranoid about even the mildest of symptoms because COVID seems to have such a wide range of effects.

Now that we know cases are rising a bit here in BC and we even have one confirmed case in our town, we've both bought face shields just in case things get bad here. You never know. And John even wore his into town today.

Mind you, he also forgot to change out of his pajama pants and flip-flops, so he must have been quite a sight in the grocery store with his face guard, t-shirt and navy PJ bottoms with stars on them. lol Fortunately, we do see perfectly normal looking men walking around in t-shirts and pajama bottoms in stores here, taking the notion of casual clothing to a whole new level unseen just about anywhere else in Canada. We even call our street the flannel highway because of the random pajama-wearing men around here. It's just that John doesn't do that and didn't realize he'd done it until he reached for his wallet, which of course wasn't there.


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

That's hilarious Hagatha grin

I empathize. Even though I get up very early, and have done so for years for my job, I've never been a morning person. Sure, I dig sunrises and a good cup of coffee, but give me an extra couple hours in the sack over either of those any day. As a result, there's been more than once my weekend, blurry-eyed attire has been less than coordinated when going out to run morning errands. Like the time I found myself wearing two different shoes.... smirk


I feel a lot more like I do now, then when I first got here

He's getting pretty forgetful. He always was, but add in the pain meds and some of our (legally grown) medicinal herb and he can be an absolute laugh riot these days.

The Flannel Highway would welcome Boomers, but alas, there's that COVID thing.

And then there was the party in my county here in NJ where someone rented a mansion through Airbnb, sent out flyers on Instagram, and 700 people showed up. It took the local police 5 hours to clear out the place, and there wasn't a mask in sight. It's incidents like this that make me wonder how we have survived this long as a species. headscratch

We have the same kind of fools here, too. We had a spike in cases in British Columbia following large parties of young people in Kelowna. In fact the one case we have here in town is linked to the Kelowna outbreak.

Insane.

I came across something on-line that seemed appropriate to this conversation.

There are 2 factors that determine the extent to which COVID spreads through a region:

1. How dense the population is in the particular area
2. How dense the population is in the particular area

New Jersey is the densest state by population in the US. I don't think I'll mention that anymore. grin

I have a theory that people here on Gameboomers are weathering this storm well because we have our games and are generally speaking comfortable being by ourselves and entertaining ourselves for long stretches. Certainly that's true for me. I'm not antisocial, but I am quite content to be at home deep in a game, or a book, or one of my TV shows.

I think you are right! A lot of people never learned to entertain themselves or be comfortable alone. Gamers always know how to lose themselves in a game! I find my best days are those that I am hiking alone with my dog. I have friends I see and enjoy their company but don't find myself "lost" without them. I have sisters and friends that can't believe I'm happy to eat at home and listen to the TV (I rarely watch) and would rather do that than go out to eat and go to the theater. I like my home, my husband and my dog. My own little universe and safe space. I guess I'm an introvert. lol

Yep, totally with you both there. Even when I'm working I'm usually plugged into Audible. I really don't understand it when people say they are "bored". Good grief, I've got enough home projects, hobby projects, audio and real books, plus a ridiculous assortment of games I haven't played yet to keep me going until I'm 6 feet under and beyond lol

Not to mention our pup, who is always an adventure in something. grin

Trail, there is no such thing as boredom in my world either! I have a lack of hours to do what I want!

Maybe THAT'S why I like this place so much - it is full of kindred souls!


Gardens put to bed for the winter. Time for some gaming!

Most definitely.

We finally have some tomatoes, only about a month later than usual.

The humpbacks are here now in numbers, and it's almost impossible to go out in the boat and not see at least one or two. We haven't been mugged yet this year -- mugging is what we call a very, very close encounter with a humpback, where they swim up to your boat and just hang out with you, and I mean close enough to reach out and give them a pat. no exaggeration. You have to turn off your engine, of course, so you don't injure them. They turn on their sides and just wave their tails to stay with you. They definitely look at you, too. They're such gentle beings that I've never been overly worried. Of course, if it's a really young one, its mother will come over and lead it away. Lots of fun.
