To me, it's simple. I'm going to do what I need to do, wearing a mask, keeping a distance,

etc. to protect the people around me. I want to protect my family, my friends, my employees.

I want to protect my neighbors. I want to protect the business owners in my community.

And the way I protect everyone is with courtesy and dignity. And that's what this COVID pandemic requires of us. So please give some thought. This is not

the time to think selfishly. This is the time to think about each other. I don't want to share

someone else's thoughts. I want to create my own original thoughts. I want to create my own

original solutions. I want to look at situations and come up with my own phrasing create my own original thoughts. I want to create my own original solutions.

I want to look at situations and come up with my own phrasing, my own words, and do it my way.

The only thing I left the bus for was to fill up gas, which is at the pump, so there

was no real contact, and to walk the dogs. Nice. Which we stopped in grassy areas and stuff like that

to walk the dogs. So it was a completely no contact trip halfway across America. On my way there,

my daughter Sam tells me how, you know,
