These people are ridiculous. I get it, I really do. It’s the first truly spring like day of the year, with bright sunshine and soft warm breezes. I want to be out as much as anyone, and it’s a huge, beautiful city park, with plenty of room for social distancing.

They are not social distancing.
Some are of course, maybe even most,
but there are groups tossing footballs, couples holding hands, gatherings of picnickers on blankets and crowded into pavilions.

I’m all for a walk on this gorgeous day.
Managed right, it’s even well within safety guidelines.

Wander a quiet tree lined trail.
Bask in the scents of the blossoming flowers and trees.

Rest in the shade on a rustic bench and listen to the chorus of birds.

But please,
for the sake of yourself,
and us all …
Keep a six foot distance.
