It’s far away
And we can’t get there because of the Coronavirus (and because we don’t go to Thailand), but there is a cool new thing there.
Jungle Bubbles!
They’re at a resort in the north of the country where you can spend the night under the stars in a giant transparent bubble next to elephants. As described, elephants hardly sleep at all. They spend the night eating and passing gas. That should be entertaining.

I nominate brother Bill to check it out next time he’s there. Me, I want to camp in a zoo with the lions at night. Or maybe the Serengeti.
Social Distancing
If this social distancing thing really works, and we do a good job of implementing it, not only does that means neither Judy nor I will get the Covid-19 virus, but we won’t catch anything contagious; not the flu, not any other kind of annual contagious crud, or even a common cold! Awesome. If it works.
Meanwhile, the United States continues to chart its own unique path through this pandemic.

And a collared-dove.

Judy update
Four weeks post-surgery.

She graduated from the walker to a cane.

All the bandaging is off. All the magic marker lines are gone.

Physical therapy three times a week. The PT goal is to get the knee to bend 115 to 120 degrees, well past a 90 degree right-angle, to be considered normal function. She’s been to 113 degrees already.
