    So, there are reports that a crazy letter is landing in people's letterboxes in a suburb of Sydney. Here is the letter for anyone who wants a giggle.

    I particularly liked this: "There is no such thing as viruses."

    I also feel sorry for the person who wrote this letter. The untreated mental illness and the insufficient education that resulted in this letter could have been prevented.

    San Francisco and Bay Area Extend Stay Home Order Through End of May

    San Francisco and Bay Area Extend Stay Home Order Through End of May

    Under the extended Stay Home Order, all construction will be allowed to resume as long as specific safety measures are in place. Certain businesses that operate primarily outdoors, such as plant nurseries, car washes, and flea markets, may reopen under San Francisco’s Order. Any employee of a business allowed to operate under the order can also access childcare programs that are allowed to operate. Some outdoor recreational facilities, like skate parks and golf courses, may reopen. The full text of the new order and answers to frequently asked questions will be posted at SF.gov.
