Better numbers in Mi. today.

1. It's so sad.

I was reading the various reasons for this, and part of it was that Metro has direct flights from both China and Europe, unlike a lot of airports, and of course because of other mitigating factors in the Detroit Metro area, like poverty and health issues.

My dad died in August and my mother (in Michigan) has been living at home, mostly on her own with a visiting assistant (my mom is in her 80s but still pretty self sufficient), and people who mow her lawn, etc. She's in a one-story house and is still able to get around and cook her own meals and so forth. We wanted to get her into a nice residential facility, but right now I just thank God we didn't, because she would have been at much higher risk.
