Cookies

Susie has been in baking mode for the last few days.  She works so hard and then complains about all the work.  She does make wonderful goodies.  We usually give away nice plates full of goodies to all the neighbors but this year I am wondering if anyone will eat them.  People are so full of irrational fear.

Today we will put the icing on the cookies.

The other day we went to the Dollar Store.  I was leaning on a column outside waiting for Susie to come out.  I was not wearing a mask as usual.  Some young woman came walking along, saw me and stopped short about 20 feet away.  She refused to walk by but started pacing around talking to herself (no she was not talking on the phone.)  After about 5 minutes of walking and pacing and giving me "stink eyes" she went into the store to mix with the big crowd.  Others walked by with no problems.  The walkway is only 12 feet wide.

If you look closely at the cookies you will see that some of them are wearing masks, especially the sugar cookie guys.

Some of the cookies have masks.
But no social distancing.

Today in the local paper there was some typical Covid propaganda.  It is all in the headlines.  Most people only read the headlines.  It said something like "Clark County Cases Exceeds 10,000.  Hospitals are 80% Full"  The implication is that there are currently more than 10,000 cases and that the hospitals are 80% full of Covid patients.  Not true.  The cases are counted from the beginning of the pandemic and the hospitals are mostly full of other types of patients.
