Brain-eating amoeba + covid warnings--

Don't let children play in water or go to water parks or swimming pools.

Fortunately, the weather is growing cold.

They can even get it from touching basket balls or bowling balls.  Don't play with other children.

Should always wear masks and gloves, take off mask by straps and discard or throw in laundry,

take off disposable gloves and drop in trash immediately, wash hands after, change cloth hand towels daily.

Lot of laundry and trash, but better that than ventilator and death.

I don't think you can dye acrylic as you can't boil it, it will probably melt and if cool dye, color will probably slide off.

But the natural colors sure do look natural and soft.

I still have a pot of mangosteen-skin dye that I have made for ages.

She's returned to the WH, not clear what she does there, maybe irons his suits while he is wearing them.

He does look a lot fatter, his hair is white and  he has a new a new suit--blue--that looks like polyester and shiny from ironing.

You can see the Wilson predictions in Amazon online sample, last chapter.
