34. Hello neighbor!

We obviously live very close to each other. (I’m not going to be more specific while online.)

I haven’t traveled to the Centerville area for awhile, despite having family that lives there. I’m not too surprised that they‘re behaving a little more sensibly (but still not enough).

Glad that Kroger recently made it a requirement for their employees to wear masks. I didn’t see any of them wearing masks when I visited one of their local stores almost two weeks ago.

Edit: The tornado that passed though the Brookville/Clayton area started heading south before reaching my neighborhood.

Thanks for confirming the few mask-wearers around here. Your estimation is about the same as mine.
