Hi Padre...
All is well here... Some restrictions. But nothing to horrendous....
I will be returning home tomorrow... Then will enjoy the second month of holidays...
My university has informed students that the start of the spring semester may be postponed....
Other than that nothing to hard...
T***s-Provincial traffic has been curtailed...
And some public venues have been closed...
Glad the government is taking the situation seriously...

Google is blocking most of the latest news or updates on this so I have to go outside the country to get the news

In my brother-in-law's car... On the highway... Heading to my wife's aunt's home for the New Year...
Once a year we all drop what we're doing and come together... Cousins and siblings and grandchildren and greatgrandma too...
We cook and drink and light fireworks and play mahjong...
Red envelopes full of money are given to the children... The ladies compare shoes, coats, and bags... We men tend to stick together... Cold beer and 60% glasses of baijiu are freely shared...
We catch up on the new and rehash the old...
Tonight a group of us will go to the crossroads and burn paper money in a circle of alcohol for the dead... A second smaller circle will be burned as well, for any lost spirits that might be lurking...
At midnight we will eat dumplings and toast the New Year... Several coins will be hidden in the dumplings... Finding one is a sign of fortune in the coming year...
My wife's uncle will set off a string of fire c*****rs outside the doorway... To frighten off the Nian (a monster that comes on the new year) and chase away any bad luck...
For the next week we will visit with family and friends... Relaxing and being grateful for all that we have received and all that we have to look forward to...
Aye... It's a good time to be alive...
God bless....

My wife only picked it up last year..
But I find it one of the more enjoyable games over here...
Took me a few tries to get the finer points... But I haven't lost in a long time...

H**e to bring politics into it... But it seems like the 2020 Dems have missed this rule
