Week 13

Making sure I have my mask is become as much a part of the routine for going out as having my wallet and keys. Though grocery shopping is easier now, I don't want to be going out as much as I would have before this so I have to be more careful to take a list and not be too concerned about getting items now that I don't intend to use for several days.

It's hot here and it's not monsoon season yet. So everything is very dry outside. There are no clouds in the sky but there is a significant plume of smoke northwest of my house from a forest fire dozens of miles away high in the Catalina Mountains.
