I just want to apologize. Life has been very bad lately...long story short. The guys have contacted Covid Pneumonia. No, they are not doing better and now, I am ordered by the state of NY to Quarantine. BACK TO THE HOUSE IN WHICH THEY ARE SICK. Makes no sense.
No Lords a Leaping, just a Quarantine Order-I edited out my address.
