Ordered masks which may or may not be better than just a bandana. Used one today, first time leaving the property in 30 days, for groceries. A lot of people out, some in masks, some not. Bus said masks mandatory, but I could see people through a train window with their masks pulled down. You know, between "outside in the wind and sun" and "cooped up in a box with people", it would be more sensible to not wear the mask as you walk and to wear it on the train.

Benefits of learning Spanish even partially: a manga I liked had only 6 chapters in English, but another 6 in Spanish. I was able to at least get the gist of things, though with some help from Google because I really need a crash flash card course just in prepositions and major adverbs.

Scallions still green though no longer growing much. It's been a month... 30 days, even, since I got them the last time I went out.

Started re-watching Avatar the Last Airbender for the first time. That is, I've seen it but never got around to re-watching it. "Omashu" is a lot different when you know who the king is.

A friend in Manila reports typically seeing people pulling their mask down to talk.
