I am back at this semi-personal COVID-19 diary thing… apologies that I haven’t had that much to say, but I figure that I should post something so the couple of people out there reading these won’t worry about me. My family and my neighbors are doing well. I’m happy to have no trace of COVID-19, though I’ve got some oddball back pain, probably from inactivity. My partner, my daughter, and I are practicing math and reading, watching videos, baking, gardening, and taking some bike rides and walks.
One of the other things I enjoy doing is sketching. I don’t share these much at Streetsblog, though I’ve posted some of my transit rider sketches and my parking and vision zero comics. Below are a few light-hearted pen-sketches I’ve been doing with Coronavirus on my mind.
