Sanibel Status

Hi All,

Things changing quickly here. The Big Arts theatre where we volunteer usher has closed for the season. All of the programs we do at the refuge have been canceled and local volunteers have been told to stay home. The visitors center is still open but we will be keeping our distance when talking to visitors. 

Even though we cannot do our programs, we have been told we can stay here as long as we want.

All beach parking lots are closed.

Sandy is protecting us with chicken soup and Chardonnay.

Kudos to COSTCO. We went there today for repairs to Carl's hearing aids. Big sign outside listing out of stock items, all carts sanitized before given to customers, limiting customers to about 300, every other check out aisle closed to provide safe distances and frequent signs reminding folks of 6 foot distance recommendation. Oh, and no food tasting stations!

On a less virulent note, our moon has been masquerading as a planet lately.

Here is a sliver of crescent moon with the rest illuminated by earth shine. A thin streak of clouds adds to the illusion that this is Saturn with rings. Shot in Guatemala with a volcano in the foreground.

For several years, Elon Musk has been promoting a Mars settlement. Someone made a T shirt supporting this notion. Unfortunately the image is not Mars but rather the moon during a total lunar eclipse.

Stay safe, keep washing and sanitizing.

Love ,

Sandy & Carl
