Long Beach, WA

On a brilliant blue sky day. The rising sun illuminates the Alders as they glow red with sunlight. Everything wakes up and shouts, "It's a new day!!!" Meanwhile in the human world Coronavirus has gripped the minds of of us all: from Tweets, to texts, to emails, pronouncements, advice, prognostications, and global news from pundits to epidemiologists and the World Health Organization. A new phrase, "social distancing," falls from the lips of everyone, and we make certain we are 6-10 feet away from each 
other and carrying our antibacterial wipes. We wonder if the restaurants will be the next ordered to shut down.
