Sure wish I had a recording of my epic MTB crash today.
Couldn't get the left foot clipped out in time and went over the bars in what felt like a pretty spectacular manner.

I've noticed (and have fought) the urge to poke my head around or under the plexi panels that are often between myself and a cashier/host/customer service. Between the masks and panels, I think that "what?" has become the most commonly used word this year.

I notice chamois cream threads every now and then. In spite of having ridden for many years I have never felt the need or desire to use it.
If it's not broke, don't fix it. Right? That's what I am thinking, but I sometimes have this thing I recently learned is called FOMO*.

Our local grocery store chain, HEB (one of the best things about Texas) has in its PA recordings about social distancing "for now, let's just share a smile".

Oh, I'm all about that - I've never needed/particularly wanted to chat at the grocery store or whatever. Mostly I'm talking about situations where I need to pick up an order or have a reservation and I need to convey my name or something.

I mean we can't share a smile through masks, which they required since quite early. While telling us to share a smile instead of shaking hands or the like.

Updates for @Velo Vol:
Got mulch for the flower beds. Very late but at least I can work on it now.
Cut one of my lawns to complete the cycle which will begin again Saturday. SMFH
The biggest news to report is the LBS finally was able to sell me my replacement frame. What a cluster ****. First it was Covid lockdowns, then closings for riots then general incompetency but I paid for the frame and I hope it will arrive without much more delay. I have been going around in circles since before Memorial day. SMFH. That is almost 2 months.
In conclusion: SMFH

Mine was on a night ride with some friends and I went off the edge of the road that had a large shoulder dropoff.
And now I've got one!
I did have to learn how to drive a 5 speed with one arm, so I've got that skill which is nice

But, the Toupe is my favorite. It's on all of my road bikes.
