We practically had a block party tonight

I’m fortunate enough to live in a lovely walkable neighborhood with actual sidewalks. Tonight was the first warm, dry evening this spring, so I decided to go for a walk, as did most everyone else in the neighborhood. It’s amazing how much socializing you can do while never getting within six feet of your neighbors. I have a feeling we’re all going to be out walking a lot.

We always see someone we know and have made many friends while out walking. We decided that now we would time our walks to coincide with thrums daily virus rallies. It turns out everybody had the same idea. Trump Distancing

People enjoying people. At a necessary distance for now, but morphing back into simple human decency and communication.
