Hi Nick, I agree about meeting. On my way here I travel diagonally across the entire Navajo Reservation. Hitchhiking is a necessity on the reservation. It was quite hard to balance humanity with personal safety. It has always been my practice to give rides to anyone I see on the reservation. Those soliciting rides were always masked and had hand sanitizer that they used before getting in, and chem-wipes for the seat and anything they might have touched while in the truck.

Still think about whether or not I was reckless or reasonable. Do know I felt better about myself and value system.

David,

 

[hidden email] works just fine or [hidden email] . 

 

I am really, REALLY  sorry but I don't think we should meet.  I just told my "pod" that I think that, with the rising cases in neighboring states, Santa Fe has started to get more dangerous again, and that we should we should be even more careful than we have been. (Rural Western Massachusetts got a lot of cases from "vacationing" New Yorkers in March.)   With talk of a vaccine by the beginning of next year, it just seems stupid to take any risks whatsoever. 

 

It's not that long.  In the meantime, let's continue to interact electronically.  We could do our own zoom session.  You will point out how "notional" the hazard is, and I will have to admit that I actually have no first-hand experience with the disease, what-so-ever.  I don't even know anybody, personally, who has told me that they know anybody who has had the disease.  It is still, for me, a media event.  A cultural meme.  Pray God it remains that way.   

 

So let's plan to meet "on the other side.". 

 

You take care!

Nick,

 

Your Earthlink email address (the only other one I have) bounced. I am in Santa Fe for a couple of days, until July 2.
