Today’s weirdness
-
So on our doorstep this morning was a ziplock bag with three handmade cloth masks. One was purple (Karla’s favorite color), one was covered in footballs, baseballs, and soccer balls, and one was covered with images of golf balls, clubs, and golfers. There was a name on the bag: Eileen. Karla and I don’t know any Eileens. Neither do our neighbors, and on one side it is an old man living by himself, and on the other a family of five...
It seems likely that it was meant for us since Finley is too young for a mask, and they were obviously meant for an adult woman, an adult man, and a teenage boy, but not one that knows us well...
We checked with the church as well, nobody named Eileen...

I'd wash the hell out of them before use or throw them away. No doubt someone trying to be nice, but I eliminate every bit of risk I can.
We went to the seafood shop today. I called in my order, got the total and wrote them a check. Put the check on a clipboard in the back of the Murano, called when I got there, They brought my order out and put it in the back of the car. Distance was maintained., no interaction.
Then we went for an hour drive in the country, seeing all the redbuds in bloom and spring busting out all over. It was great.

@jon-nyc Everybody keeps saying to use hot water, but:
-
Hot water alone needs to be over 140 degrees F to kill this crap. Home water heaters are set at 120. You can amp up the water heater, but you had better know exactly what you are doing.
-
Cold water with soap works just as well as hot water with soap.
-
H2O2 is the primary ingredient of Clorox 2. It works well on this crap, too.

Wash is fine, although I would use the hot water setting (yes, my hot water heater is turned up).
