I often enjoy Nandi Bushell's (@Nandi_Bushell) music on Twitter,
but the Bushell family video about social distancing called
Don’t spread it! Stay in and shred it!!! is extra special!
Thank you, Bushell family!

On Monday, March 30, 2020, while Julie and I were finishing our blog post, Peaceful Parks While Social Distancing, we got to talking about how we appreciated all the humor and creativity we were seeing on social media while everyone was social distancing. We were impressed by some of the very gifted people sharing their talents, and we liked how some people were using humor to cope with the stress of the current coronavirus crisis.

I decided to grab my @sos_jr tweets and retweets from this stressful time period that I thought demonstrated positive humor or creativity on the Twitterverse, and some tweets that had some personal significance. Please share those that you enjoy by retweeting them, so that your Twitter followers can share in a laugh, or appreciate the talent.

Wednesday, April 1, 2020 - April Fools' Day!

Everyone on the Twitterverse decided not to celebrate April Fools Day this year -- no one is in the mood!!

The next two tweets go together:

 

 

 

Thank You, Tom Kunsman, for the NASA Virtual Tour Announcement

Tom Kunsman is great at promoting all things NASA in our community. I greatly appreciate that he sent me the NASA Glenn announcement below, on April 2nd.

I learn a lot from him, and he has arranged for me to attend events at NASA Glenn that I have written about in my many NASA blog posts (which you can read by clicking here)!

Thank you,  Jürgen Bosch, for the Twitter Direct Message

On Thursday, April 2, 2020, I received a direct message from Jürgen Bosch (@Bosch_LAB) with a video from his Coronavirus: How it Ticks n What we are Doing to Stop it talk at the Case Western Reserves Institute for the Science of Origins (ISO). (FYI, during the coronavirus crisis, their meetings have been moved online.)

The Institute for the Science of Origins (ISO) is a collaborative team of faculty members and researchers from diverse scientific disciplines seeking to understand how complex systems emerge and evolve, from the universe to the mind, from microbes to humanity.

Learn more about the Institute for the Science of Origins (ISO) at:

On Saturday night, April 4, 2020, I watched the video (which was created by Patricia Princehouse (@Princehouse), and found it very informative. I have embedded it here for your perusal:

Delivery Error! Tasty Victory for My Neighbor!

As Julie and I mentioned in our blog post Peaceful Parks While Social Distancing, we have been ordering take-out to support local restaurants. On Monday, April 6, 2020, we ordered delivery instead of take-out, which ended up netting FREE pizza for our neighbor.

 

 

Backpacking Humor, but Reason for Humor is Very Sad!

 

The reason that the video above was created is that all the long-distance trail organizations do not want backpackers to hike at this time. I was supposed to be in New Mexico on Monday, April 6, 2020, preparing to start a hike on Tuesday, but...

I normally like to list related blog posts that I have written, but during this coronavirus crisis, it is very sad to think that most of the places I normally write about at sosAssociates.com/Blog are currently closed. The few places still open are our local parks, so please read the recent blog that Julie and I wrote about our experience safely visiting the many park systems we have in Northeast Ohio:

 

Stay well!
