Self-isolating in Grand Rapids: week 5

The Fighting Temeraire, detail, 1839, by J. M. W. Turner


As of late Wednesday, yesterday, the state of Michigan reported a little over 27,000 cases and a total of more than 1,700 deaths. Even though Michigan finds itself deep into this pandemic a large group of folks came to Lansing to protest the governor's stay-at-home order. Human nature continues to amaze and astound. Not surprisingly, from the various signage used at the capitol it was a thinly disguised promo for the Trump campaign of 2020.

In our own little corner of Grand Rapids we do very little out-of-doors aside from Susie going for her daily constitutional and I might stroll to the mailbox. Otherwise we're inside, reading, puzzling and on the computer. Dinner is usually followed Foyle's War capped off with an episode of Modern Family before bed and more reading.

Finally, something to bring a little joy to your life. . .
