Oh boy, speaking of Randolph Engineering they have been my latest addiction with I think 16 pairs so far. Several have been gifted and several others sold along the way though. What first got me interested in the style was a pair of Rōka sports aviators (which turned into four), then I decided to go for the real thing, heavy glass lenses and all. Love ‘em!

My next “grail” pair right now is the 23k Gold Concorde with Cobalt lenses (which are excellent).

Here’s part of the collection, I’m actually selling the first two that are pictured.

Spoiler: Randolph Sunglasses

I saw an elderly woman take off her mask to cough in a grocery store last week. Made me really mad because sick people are supposed to stay home, and because the whole purpose of the mask is to help prevent it from spreading to others.

Wanna get mad again?

A Hoarder’s Huge Stockpile of Masks and Gloves Will Now Go to Doctors and Nurses, F.B.I. Says (Published 2020)

The stockpile, slated for medical personnel in New York and New Jersey, includes 192,000 N95 respirators, 130,000 surgical masks and nearly 600,000 medical-grade gloves, the authorities said.

If he's going to get charged with assaulting federals and hoarding essential supplies, maybe don't pay him "fair market value"for supplies? I think they just force him to walk the streets with a sign letting everyone know what he did.

Two things: my daughter is a nurse in a hospital. One of the doctors, was caring for his father with CoVid and decided to show up to the ward in the hospital to chit chat with the nurses. This week three of them have symptoms and are being tested for the virus. My daughter just developed a sore throat and persistent dry cough but only a 99 degree temp. She was told if she calls in sick, no pay. No test for her because she is in a low risk class. How come hospitals are willing to just roll the dice? On another note, I was finally able to buy some sanitizer for work. It was put on a truck last week and the driver has not been seen since. The stock piles get brought by somebody.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear your daughter has it. I would argue that she needs to rest. Also, make sure she is not taking any fever reducers. Those can make the virus more dangerous from what I read. fI have a friend who is a doctor in Michigan and he told me it is possible to get a worse infection form people who are exposed to the virus for long periods of time. He said that is the reason why so many doctors in Italy died. This is also the reason why people should avoid coffee shops, buses and airplanes. Sitting next to someone for hours who is infected could be more dangerous than getting it on your hands. Speaking of, I've learned that wearing gloves is a great idea right now because it's impossible to get all the virus off your hands.

Washing your hands with soap and water for 30 seconds should do it for your hands.

Some people don't get it, she may not have been ill, just doesn't get the concept of a mask for containment of a virus. My Mother, prior to her death 3 yrs ago, had a respiratory thing and would cough, just because, it wasn't contagious, she just needed to cough. So the woman in the grocery store may not have had anything......then again, given current circumstances, she could be patient zero in your area. Stay away, stay healthy. It's the new 'normal".

I have a photic sneeze reflex so I often sneeze in sunlight. The last few weeks have been very uncomfortable because it makes people so uneasy

if I had a nickel for every time I’ve said “that was just a sneeze” to someone in the last 2 weeks ...

So bragged about you to my Mother-in-Law at dinner tonight (she lives with us). How you used a shoe bag and a pocket square...brought up the photos. She looked and said, “wow, it looks like it could even double as a jockstrap.”

Iced tea that was in my mouth came out of my nostrils when she said that.

I made the mask for myself, but showed a picture to a son who lives 2 miles away. The next day I had a request for me to make him a mask. An hour later, one for his wife. Later in the day the daughter in law asked if I would make a set for her parents who live nearby. As for a jock strap, hooking the ear straps around one's testicles may get a bit uncomfortable. Everyone stay safe out there and wash your hands.

Got out for filling my Thyroid medication. All of a sudden my insurance is allowing me to fill it for 90 days. Before I would need to use their pharmacy for 90 days.

A bit rainy so TS suede on commando is the way to go.
