It was good
to see the re-opening of the zoo today......
…....as I
left my apartment right-next-door to see happy, masked families
leaving the metro, gaily walking to the zoo. As I spoke with several,
I felt I was seeing a broad segment of the area population getting a
chance to enjoy what is “ours” in this lovely area.
As I learned that metro service was being added, I was gratified to hear reports of proper masking and reasonable efforts to social distance.
And I felt
relief that area merchants might begin to return to some normalcy as
restaurants and other stores increased their business in this “best
season of the year” for them. At the zoo itself I was pleased to
see how well organized things were at the entrance. and the patrons
I spoke to assured me that this was the case inside.
Perhaps
above all I felt re-assured that we have local leadership attempting
to make difficult, wise decisions to move us forward in this critical
period. What a remarkable contrast with the national level where all I see fear fear and loathing in America.

What are your predictions for the presidential elections, Ron?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I answered this before or not. But now I feel America will come to its senses and elect a democratic landslide.
