It’s not normal to see pictures of my son and his family in facemasks…but as per normal I think they are a handsome family.

I walked the dogs this morning and aside from there being fewer people around, it seemed pretty normal.  All the restaurants on the malecon were open and occupied as usual.

Paul went to the mercado for me and when he walked in he thought they had widened the aisles.  Turns out they just appeared wider since there were no pesky people making purchases.  That’s an alarming thing to hear, as this is the main city mercado, almost empty!

In the comments section of my last post Danny Jacks mentioned an LA Times article that will give some non-alarmist perspective on the flu crisis – it is linked above.  Thanks, Danny.
