Not sure why/how MA is seeing an increase in hospitals at surge capacity when cases are below 400. Makes no sense. Numbers today were not bad. Only 14 deaths.
I got a co-worker leaving next week for WA to visit family. His wife and 2 kids are already there. Gonna look into getting a test out there before they come back.
MA clamping down on 14-day quarantine starting Aug 1st. $500 fine per day for violators.

Right around 1/2" on the month. I'm lucky that my yard gets shade at points during the day. The parts that see the most sun are mostly dormant now. Neighbors yards that are all sun, are all dormant.
One think out of the ordinary this year in my yard has been the number of pine cones that have come down. I have a couple on the perimeter and they've dropped thousands of them each of varying size and maturity. No acorns though. House up in Maine was a different story. Acorns everywhere.
