Thanks, Dave.  

 

These ARE the times that try men's souls.  Striking how careful THEY were.  

 

Glad you are looking out for yourself.  

 

I announced to the family - we have social distance Sunday dinner - that all
I want for my birthday (Jan 29) is a vaccination.

Hi Nick, I agree about meeting. On my way here I travel diagonally across
the entire Navajo Reservation. Hitchhiking is a necessity on the
reservation. It was quite hard to balance humanity with personal safety. It
has always been my practice to give rides to anyone I see on the
reservation. Those soliciting rides were always masked and had hand
sanitizer that they used before getting in, and chem-wipes for the seat and
anything they might have touched while in the truck.

 

Still think about whether or not I was reckless or reasonable. Do know I
felt better about myself and value system.

I am really, REALLY  sorry but I don't think we should meet.  I just told my
"pod" that I think that, with the rising cases in neighboring states, Santa
Fe has started to get more dangerous again, and that we should we should be
even more careful than we have been. (Rural Western Massachusetts got a lot
of cases from "vacationing" New Yorkers in March.)   With talk of a vaccine
by the beginning of next year, it just seems stupid to take any risks
whatsoever. 

 

It's not that long.  In the meantime, let's continue to interact
electronically.  We could do our own zoom session.  You will point out how
"notional" the hazard is, and I will have to admit that I actually have no
first-hand experience with the disease, what-so-ever.  I don't even know
anybody, personally, who has told me that they know anybody who has had the
disease.  It is still, for me, a media event.  A cultural meme.  Pray God it
remains that way.   

 

So let's plan to meet "on the other side.". 

 

You take care!

 

Nick

Nick,

 

Your Earthlink email address (the only other one I have) bounced. I am in
Santa Fe for a couple of days, until July 2.
