Get your flu shot this season--
Already got mine, quite easy at CVS.
Gives an added layer of protection, and one can get flu + Covid-19 at the same time.
Over 60s need annual enhanced flu vaccine, as virus changed yearly.

MOMA reuseable masks--
Just thought they are very well designed.
No connection with MOMA.
I
make mine with nose wire sewn in now--used thin wire used to hang
pictures, bent at end and in "tunnel" so it won't slip out of place.
You can also use ties from coffee bags.
You can bend to fit bridge of yr nose once you have tied it in place.

Anne Applebaum's latest book --
I didn't know that she is married to a Pole.
This book is interesting to me bc it mirrors Burma and USA.
I spent 8 months in Poland in 1968-69, most of it in winter.
It was May by the time my sister and I returned, and just Spring.
