The Black Notebook
It is August and the U.S. has now topped 5 million COVID cases and tallied over 160,000 deaths. Mere grocery shopping outings have become ninja-like scenes, with people's faces covered by facemasks, clamoring to get to essential items, such as toilet paper and cleaning products. Extended families have now become desolately more extended and only congregated by a decent Wi-Fi connection. One can only fear that an apocalyptic-like future is nigh.
