Day 13.198: Exile #2's Sunday Column #306

We’ve been finding out a little bit about what might happen with school and college this fall. It seems school will have three possible models: one where the kids are in school for the full week (with precautions like masks), one where classes are divided in half, with each half in for 2 days out of 5 and one where all learning is online. The state will declare the level of risk and, therefore, which model needs to be used.

College looks to be going for single occupancy rooms, restricted public areas, and a mixture of in person and online tuition. I don’t envy those having to make these plans and decisions. It’s hard enough to know where we’ll be at the end of the week, let alone at the end of August. Putting down Exile #3's accommodation deposit certainly felt like a gamble.

In the meantime, maybe as a symbol of hope, we have a sunflower that has persisted and managed to flower even though it’s leaves have been thoroughly munched by Japanese beetles.

  1. Seems oddly appropriate that the Japanese beetles were attracted to your (Land of the Rising) Sun flower...!
