I had hoped @AndrewKnack would have had enough time to reflect on the fact that Edmontonions are upset at the infill policy and perhaps welcome the chance to listen and improve things.

One more bizarre story this week for the Covid Twilight Zone. I have a longtime friend who I always thought of as my most grounded, logical and insightful one out of everyone. She lives 400+ miles away. So I’m always so excited to hear from her. She called this week and I was thrilled! Whenever I need to have an objective opinion about a decision, I have always reached out to her. We would share Covid information, me from a professional lens…and her from a community view. She was a teacher who had to retire after being hospitalized for Covid and developing Ocular Paralysis in 2021. Ocular Paralysis makes her unable to move her right eye. She has endured several surgeries over the past few years to regain movement. None of which have been successful. This week when I asked my friend if there were any changes in her condition, she stated that “If I had unmasked sooner my eye would have improved.” I asked “How can that be?” She stated that “EVERYONE has an eyeball stuck because they had problems seeing over their masks.” I said, “I still Mask and both of my eyeballs are still moving.” She said, “Well you don’t live in Michigan.” I asked her very slowly “Are you saying that Ocular Paralysis, a condition that originates from an INFECTION or disease state is somehow coming from Masks?” She said, “Yes, and being in lockdown where your eyes are inside the house all day.” The only thing that I could think was “Damn! YOU TOO!” The only thing I could do was sit down in the “off limits” living room, poured a glass of wine, lit a candle, and played some Camden Stewart. I’m beginning to think that No Interaction is the Best Interaction.
