Following up on yesterday's post, the husband knew where the coffee filters had been put. We will not have to improvise with paper towels or some other substandard product. That might not have ended well. And I will get a pancake breakfast for my birthday. The husband and older son have said they will make them from scratch. They do have two pancake mixes in case the scratch has gone bad by then. Add some real maple syrup, and I think we're all set. It won't be the same as the family around a picnic table in a park, but it will definitely do.
VP Pence appeared in public wearing a mask and urged the public to join him in wearing one. He also called on them to socially distance themselves and to stay away from elderly people. I wonder how HWSNBN views his VP's wearing a mask. Will this mean he'll be replaced on the ticket? Lest you think I'm joking, think about how many real headlines these days sound like ones from The Onion. In this time of pandemic tragedy, there is underlying absurdity. A breeder of labradoodles was named to head a vaccine task force. Masks have nothing to do with protection against the coronavirus; they are instead political statements. HWSNBN has supposedly met with campaign staff to discuss a new nickname for his prospective opponent. Evidently "Sleepy Joe" no longer carries enough negativity. Just when you think it can't get more absurd, it does.
A friend returned some Icelandic guide books and flyers I'd loaned her. We've been there three times in the dead of winter (December to February), and I'd love to go again. Who knows, though, when people from the US will be allowed to enter Iceland or any other European country. There are likely a number of tour companies that had booked things such as river cruises more than a year in advance that will feel some pain now that they have to start cancelling things. I can't say that I blame the European Union or Canada or any other country currently banning those from the US. We've shot ourselves in the foot on this one. I wouldn't let us in either.

Look at it this way, you're standing in the corner with Sweden. It could be worse.
