Sherri's Turn

Quarantine? What mean "quarantine?" We once had a Japanese foreign exchange student for a three week summer program and whenever we used a word she didn't understand, she would use that phrase. "What mean done?"

As I was saying "What mean 'quarantine'?"

Well, to me it means our constitutional rights have been stripped away. As one of my favorite memes said, "Quarantine is when you restrict the movements of sick people. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people." But as you can see by some of the photos thankfully our movements weren't too restricted. I've spent the time with the two goofballs I live with as well as a few others who showed up along the way, and some we visited when we were lucky enough to be invited to a secret undisclosed race location.

I will have to admit that if you're going to be quarantined by over zealous government officials it helps to live in a rural area with lots of acreage surrounding you.

How did we handle it? Grumbling, complaining but in the end making the best of it. Much like everyone else, I would imagine.

I would like to think that it's all coming to end, but since we don't live in South Dakota where they threw a parade to celebrate their awesome governor and the way she handled the coronavirus - no lockdown! - we may be dealing with the lockdown fallout for quite some time.

The lockdown brought you this magazine in digital format (or maybe you bought the book! See ad in top left corner!) instead of our 38 year print tradition and its unknown as yet what the future holds. Just read this morning it may be months before the gov lets us get a haircut or go back to church. So stay in touch, stay positive and somehow we'll see you next month! P.S. We had an absolute blast putting this digital edition together with no limit to the amount of color or number of pages. We hope you have a blast reading it. We're waiting to hear from you!
