DAY 20: "The Better New Year's Day"

      We make another jaunt over to LC. Metro Transit buses have confusing Covid rules. Strictly one disabled rider in the handicapped section at any given time, no one else. However, despite all the assigned seating, the driver indicates to us that there are no limits to overall capacity (save that of size, of course). I count 13 seats available by Covid rules, but I guess you pays your money, you takes your chances. I don't press for further information on this account. We're lucky in that the 330 is always nearly empty on the noon run. However, that makes it a candidate for cutbacks.

     We take our time in LC and stop into Elliott Bay for lunch. Seating is strictly outdoors. I have a Pilsner, a mild substitute for a proper Kölsch. Later, on the way to the restroom, the manager points out that I'd forgotten my mask. An understandable embarrassment. 

     Dré pops in & out on his way to work. St.Tom joins us, chats, and takes us home. It's New President Day (finally) and we all have a lot to say along the way.
