akabw thanks for reminding me that it's Friday! Every day seems like a Sunday to me. Stellar photos as usual, hope you and your family are keeping well! So far we're doing well. I'm now a hand Nazi, reminding everyone to please wash their hands as often and carry a sanitizer and sani-wipes with them all the time, especially when one has to step out for essentials. I've made it mandatory for my family to wear a mask when outside. It does a couple of things. It warns and gets people's attention to stay away or keep a safe distance, and also reminds my family to avoid touching the face. No confirmed cases in the county but I've seen more and more out of state license plates in town just on my way to work and back. I've PM our sheriff of the ever growing presence of suspicious outsiders and to please remind those violators of "Stay at home" to please quarantine themselves. The sheriff is on top of it. You take care yourself.

You are spot on akabw. Glasses, gloves, also help. I wear mask, cheap plastic safety glasses and some rubber latex type re-useable garden gloves that I wash when I go in public. If you don't have mask try bandana or scarf to pull up over nose. All the best everyone. Wow, beautiful watch. I'm going to be honest with you. I can absolutely understand the usage of glasses but the gloves I have a bit of ambivalance. I see some folks practicing that way and its ok but I also see them touching everything with no thoughts. I think the gloves give them the sense of invisibility from the virus but it also allow them to move and touch things without much thought. I feel like they're simply spreading the virus even more effectively because of the gloves. Medical folks are more adept to using gloves IMHO but for the average folks, that's not the case IMHO. That's just my opinion though.

That's just my opinion though. I've seen great examples of what you're saying with gloves. For me though, I use to work in the radiological industry and wear PPE all the time, and gloves are highly effective if used properly. The sad thing is people can be careful the whole time they are wearing them and then when taking them off, 90%+ untrained personnel will cross contaminate themselves by removing them improperly. It takes some training to remove them without letting clean areas touch dirty ones. And most importantly, +1 on the sweet Tudor!

The spring blooms AND the PP are gorgeous! Wish things were blooming here and that PP's great on those trees!

With social distancing of course, painted a red X every 6 feet. When you and Laurie get here, I will give you a priority spot at the front of the line!

Might as well review the proper way to donning and doffing gloves becasue the more you know.... Please feel free to spread it around. I mean the proper way of using gloves and not the virus.

More Seiko goodness @akbw Thanks for posting video. Didn’t know about removing properly. I see what you gents mean about people using masks etc. I was at the local hardware store and saw one of the guys guarding the door repeatedly lifting his mask to scratch his nose.
