I noticed a chain of origami paper cranes tied to a footbridge in the park across the street from our home. A note was attached to the chain. The cranes were folded in memory of an emergency room nurse who died of COVID-19. We’ve gone to the bridge twice since our initial discovery. The chain …

What’s up with all of the beards I’ve seen during the pandemic? Have razors become the latest shortage? Politicians like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, although Paul subsequently got rid of his.
