It's time to make your own face mask (NY Times). We still have a half-dozen surgical masks and a few N95s from when we put together our bug-out bags a few years ago, but this might be helpful when those are all used up.

family notes, mmxx-iii-xxi



PJ and Amy came by to pick up some stuff;
we talked from opposite sides of the patio fence. It's been a while.
