EDITORIAL
Today on my daily walk north or south I saw signs ALL PARKS CLOSED. I am so glad that our paths are wide and there are still plenty of places to spread out. I pity our neighbors who do not have our spaces to enjoy nature.
I looked across at NYP Hospital. Those white inserts in 30 windows are to make the isolation rooms negative pressure for Covid-19 patients.
I found a face mask in the GO BAG given out last year by NYC OEM. There was a presentation at the Chapel and everyone got a backpack with emergency supplies. One item was a face mask. It is very snug and secure.(Gives you protection with a duck bill profile).
I went by PS 217 to see what food was being distributed. There are pretzels, hummus, apple juice, chocolate milk, crackers, mimi-carrots and a few other items. You can be creative with the items to make meals more tempting. (When was the last time you drank chocolate milk?)
Tomorrow is Issue #20!! As long as there is material here, I will keep going…….
