The sky is blue, and the sun is shining. Hallelujah! We ran into our neighbors a few doors down this morning while walking. Neighbor T. commented that he hadn’t been sure if we were home or not because he hadn’t heard the low rumble of my VW Golf R engine. Neighbor C. explained that T. can hear that low guttural growl anywhere in their house and always refers to it as “the tiger on the prowl.” I’ll take it he’s referring to my car and not me!
While my “tiger” sits in my garage, so do a lot of other cars, planes, and trains around the world. Nature has just published the article: Coronavirus lockdowns have changed the way Earth moves. In it, they explain that because of the reduction in human activities, there’s less vibration on the earth’s crust. This results in an improved ability of geoscientists to pick up on natural seismic readings, such as crashing ocean waves which are used to study the earth’s crust. Basically, there’s less background noise and they can focus on their real work. Cheers to geoscientists around the world.
Brownies for breakfast….The Passover brownies were indeed yummy, though I learned after the fact that there’s a difference between Matzo Meal and Matzo Cake Meal. This only means I’ll have to try the recipe again, soon! In the meantime, I took friends Ken and Kim’s advice that brownies are considered a breakfast food during the ‘lockdown.’ For the most part, hubby and I have been eating relatively healthy, but there’s always room to break the rules! If you haven’t yet tried a similar pronouncement, I highly recommend you try it out!
What to do today? Hoola-hoop. Friend Linda hoola-hoops 1 hour a day! I received my hoola-hoop a couple of days ago and will test it out today. It should put a smile on someone’s face; hopefully, my own.
