The Smithfield Little Theatre is back up and running. We have the season subscription.
Last month was Virginia Wolf. We went opening night. There were maybe 30 people in 175 seats. That was Thursday night, I assume attendance improved over the weekend.

Charles Lane (WSJ) said the biggest mistake of doing this is letting the people think that the president actually has some control over gasoline prices.

Julia Horowitz (see CNN tweet above) obviously disagrees, at least for now.
Interesting. There is one thing about Taiwan that I dont think most people know - it is actually very mountainous. Probably 2/3 of the island is mountains, and it is only along the western coast that the land is pretty flat and that is where most people live.
However, I do not think that mainland china will "physically" invade. I think they would try and blockade us. Probably try to damage the port of Kaohsiung in the south and near Taipei in the north.
@george-k I dont think so, unless in very specific instance
small isolated or island land mass (Taiwan, New Zealand, etc.)
has to be done with other measures
A. strict contact tracing
B. quarantine of all arrivals
c. etc
I agree that it is like you have said - it just postpones things, does not prevent things.
Besides french fries, my spouse loves to make soup. I was thinking this might make an appealing acquisition though she seems to make humongous quantities and then freezes in serving sized containers - which partly explains the need for multiple freezers. Similar things happen with applesauce.
Each batch for us makes 2.5 bowls, with enough left over to fill about 2 pint jars. So, not a ginormous batch, but enough for leftovers. And (1) it's fast and (2) the results are better than a pot. Very good.
