It was a quiet week. Ida came through and dumped a bunch of rain. The only significant damage in Maryland was a tornado that hit a section of Annapolis. Before Ida, we were getting a heat index over 100 regularly. After Ida, temperatures dropped significantly. We’re dropping into the 50s at night and getting up near 80 in the day. In addition, the humidity is lower. It’s quite comfortable. The big difference for me is riding in the afternoon instead of the early morning.

I was supposed to help count

With Covid taking off, our neighborhood put restrictions on the clubhouse. Everybody in the clubhouse must be masked at all times. That means no eating or drinking. We have an outdoor porch where we can have activities. It has an awning and even has sides that roll down. But we can only seat 20 or 25 under the awning. There’s more seating under the stars, but bad weather can put a real damper on that. That was quite a curve ball for the social committee to handle, but they’re working on possibilities. In the mean time, the Jones will join is for a “do your own food truck” this evening. We’ll get food from a local kabob place and eat it at the Jones’.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
