• Covid!
• Tuesday, 1 November
• M first noticed hot water heater had leaked itself out onto the garage floor.  Drip. Drip. Drip.  When did it start? … Dripping … Dripping …  Shut down …  Vacuum up water and dump outside.  Arrange for a new water heater.
• Dropped my ballot by a drop-box at an early polling place… no drama… shit!…

• Suggested to M we come back to Bisbee on Thursday morning … We can quarantine in Bisbee as well as in Tucson since, both being positive, we may as well sleep in the same bed again … and put the new wheels on the buggy … and enjoy Sidepony weekend vicariously from it.
• Thursday, 10 November
• Will get the wheels back on the buggy in the morning and enjoy Sidepony from a safe distance this weekend.

Peace Arises (a.k.a. Ed’s Erection)

Her shoulder droops in shame.

She weeps thinking of the small group of mad men in the world working to destroy freedom.

And peace.
