She and Thatch have been trying to Charleston to it all morning.

I would love to see that!

Yes, you know the drill here: we want photographic evidence!

My biggest problem with the mask, pay attention DR Jeanne, it has a chemical smell resulting in gagging and a headache Of course the smell didn't bother Keith. I mentioned this to our neighbor who's wife is sensitive and he told me not to mention it to her since she hadn't noticed

Thanks for the heads-up, Jane. I will probably stick with my Breathe Healthy allergy masks. They're comfortable, adjustable, and fit my face well. The study that says cloth makes aren't good irks me; it's such flawed science! There are many kinds of cloth masks, some clearly inferior, but others not. Breathe Healthy masks were independently tested to .1 micron, which is equivalent to an N95. The people who tout the study seem oblivious to the fit issue. As you point out, even the best masks may not fit well and we know that that diminishes effectiveness. Sigh. Some of the very people who use science to support their viewpoints ignore science when convenient.

The 3M mask definitely had a tight seal. I looked at the Breathe Healthy masks and they appear to have gathering at the sides to give it a better fit, still none of them appeared as if they would work for me. I am guessing your masks were not used for a study

Unscientifically, when I look at people in general wearing cloth, surgical, or N95 masks, those wearing an N95 mask appear to have a better seal around their faces. As you said, there are always exceptions.

Jane, I believe the NY Times still allows non-subscribers 10 free article each month.

If anyone missed this on coping skills it's really sweet.

You might need a child-size mask.

PS to John G:
In addition to the sections in The Bravest Voices on opera singers and extractions from a hostile Germany, I loved the stories from the night watch in the East End during the blitz. I've both read and viewed many stories from WWII, but I'd never heard about this. I thought that shelter stays were relatively short. Ida Cook was indeed a very brave woman!

I'm surprised more masks don't come in different sizes. Kids come in many sizes, too!

That part of the book reminded me a little of the movie, Hope and Glory, which I absolutely love.

Listened to some fine music today while finishing up a project. Started a box set of Saint-Saens complete symphonies, which I've only recently started listening to. Beautiful stuff.

Now watching A Royal Scandal with Tallulah as Catherine the Great. The movie was billed as being Ernst Lubitsch's. He produced it, but it was directed--and terribly so--by Otto Preminger. Every moment is flat and false.

I was considering reading this next, then a couple of other books became available from my library. I hope to read it some time this month.

I think you asked about cat food yesterday.

I am having trouble finding my Kit'n Kaboodles - which is what I had been putting in the front porch bowl for months.....so earlier this month I bought a generic kind..... The neighborhood stray cat eats it, but I am sure he wonders what happened to his gourmet treat.

I am hoping it will be back on the shelf sometime this spring.

Well I mailed my check to pay my credit card on Jan 15 and it never got there....and didn't come back.

Now I receive my statement with interest & a charge on it.....I suppose I have to pay.....but what did the post office do with my check?

I guess I talked about this before.....I just kept hoping I would get a "Your Payment Posted" email....and I guess if it shows up, I'll get a credit.....bummer.....

I first read The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie back in high school. I'm sure I didn't understand a thing about it. I've started listening to it and, while I remember some things, it's fresh and new and wonderful.

I have put a pot of lentils on the stove. It smells wonderful. I'll enjoy tomorrow.
