Mar. 24th, 2020 08:06 amThree confirmed cases here in town. I believe that includes the gentleman who bears the tragic distinction of being the first Massachusetts death from the virus. May he give this spiky little ball-shaped bastard the finger with both barrels, and then rest in peace. He might have been in his eighties, but he's from Massachusetts and lived in the Boston area, so I am assuming a certain measure of attitude.
DSL isn't the greatest internet in the world, but mine's working, and I'm working from home at a reasonable rate. (I'll get FIOS within nanoseconds of it becoming available in this zipcode. I haven't got cable internet because my option is Comcast and if I don't watch television other than Netflix anyway, I don't want to subject myself to their general painfulness.)
They're doing what I think is gas pipeline work outside. It involves ripping up chunks of the street. Loudly.
I can still hear the house finches, if nothing else.
