This morning the NYT column ["When It Comes to Covid-19, Most of Us Have Risk Exactly Backward"] seems to be outside the paywall. I will send a copy. Please advise is this is not the article you refer to.
OHIO: As of Sunday afternoon, there have been at least 122,262 confirmed or probable cases in the state, 4,128 deaths, and 13,317 hospitalizations, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
My skin reacts adversely to wool. And polar fleece is the only polyester I can comfortably wear.
Besides, did you ever hear the story of the polar fleece factory in MA that burned to the ground? The owner chose to rebuild. And he kept his entire workforce on payroll during the rebuilding. Here in New England he was much revered. We all bought polar fleece after that! Sad that all Aaron Feuerstein’s efforts didn’t save the company completely.
Oh yes, a real man. But I generally prefer natural fabrics. The climate here is generally too warm for wool, and although mixed cotton polyester is often OK in the summer, cotton is still better. I understand that mixed cotton-polyester fabric is impossible to recycle.

Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteBelatedly...
Alan, re: the NYT article, can you say a bit more about what risks are increased by what safety measures? (Paywall)
I did a double-take about the chalice. But, of course, graffiti simply means drawings. in this case...not defacement. 😆.
Yes, I’d love to see that.
I agree that "graffiti" is a poor choice of word.
DeleteI don't recall the NYT post offhand, but will look back and find it.
I think "decorations" more likely than "graffiti."

DeleteTrump still in trouble in first post-Convention polling

Supposedly of even greater importance than approval ratings is the right track/wrong direction polling, which continues to show Trump clearly in the loser range: about 68% wrong track to 28% right track, and moving the wrong way (for him). [Click]
DeleteYes. May this be evident in the voting!!
