The Pittmeister's COVID Chronicles

As of this morning, there have been nearly 200,700 cases in Arizona, with nearly 5,000 reported deaths.  In our county, there have been just over 1,800 reported cases, with a reported 46 active cases, and 62 deaths from the virus. In our zip code, there are between 1-5 active cases.  It seems like our county and perhaps our state may now be at the tail end of what is probably the 1st wave and hopefully things can start opening up. I don't think the usage of masks is going to stop any time soon and it is actually in my employer's policies that masks must be worn while in all public areas.  Here's a picture of half of our potato harvest.

She divided them up into large and small potatoes. We'll probably  harvest the rest of them next weekend.  No other updates for today. Have a great Sunday.

Certainly not the danger it once was, but still complacency could come back to bite us in the ass if we let it.  Here's what's been happening in our little corner of the world since my last post on
