Merry Christmas -- December 21, 2020


 *************************
Merry Christmas

Silent night, silent night. A US military build-up in the Iranian Gulf? If so, hopefully they all come home safely.

My daughter tells me that the line outside the Target store near her home, earlier today, stretched around the "block" -- around the store in this case -- folks waiting their turn to get in .... social distancing.

Instead of waiting to get into Target, she says she came home and ordered from Amazon Fresh ("free" delivery with Amazon Prime) and will get the items she was going to buy at Target from Amazon. The grocery items will arrive within two hours.  

Meanwhile, I just bought a gift for a family friend in Grapevine, TX -- "clicked" it at 1:03 p.m. today, Monday and will be at their doorstep, in two days, Wednesday, December 23, 2020.

And, while I'm out of town, I had the mail held, but the USPS scans every bit of mail and I can see the front of everything mailed to us. In this case, two Christmas letters so we can reply even before returning home.

By the way, those banned plastic bags -- they're back in Portland. Can't use reusable bags any more due to Covid. What's wrong with that picture?
