Trapped at 37000ft With Germs

Last month, when a federal judge struck down the CDC’s mask mandate, some flight attendants announced to their passengers that masks had become optional. And in response, many removed their masks and cheered.

What a horror that must’ve been to any immunocompromised people who might’ve been on board these flights. Imagine boarding the airplane with the expectation that everyone’s breath-born germs would be kept to themselves. Then, suddenly, you’re exposed to an onslaught of germs spewed out from revelers. This announcement was irresponsible.

Meanwhile the COVID-19 positivity rate keeps rising.

One day I added a small amount of cold water to a nearly-empty jar of tomato sauce and shook the jar. I was merely rinsing out the jar before I put it with the recycling. But on impulse, I decided to drink the water. It tasted just like a popular tomato-y vegetable juice. I plan to drink the rinse water from tomato sauce jars every time, now. As well, I think I'd enjoyed the rinse water from jars of salsa.

Two recent Wordle solutions for me were FETUS and BUTCH. I didn't mind that at all (although I was surprised by the latter, which I thought was slang). But what bothered me was that I learned that the puzzle answers are the same for many people. I can understand that New York Times would want to curate a set of five-letter words. But I can't understand why each player's word is not selected randomly from the pool. So, anyway, I wonder if I'll ever get the words ABORT, SKANK, SLUTS, PIMPS, DICKS, etc.
