LEGO can be a powerful medium. Public service builds like this one from Instagram are starting to make the rounds...



And some builds are being repurposed. A fellow LEGO club member made this one for last month's monochrome building challenge. The caption was added later...

Don't be these guys. Keep your distance in public places.

Hello folks,

How are you all doing?

Me and my family are doing good , but I'm worrying about the elders in our family.
And I worry about you all,  and the elders who may be at risk .
I came to see you all as one big top-playing family    My second family.
Hope it's over soon, that we don't need to live in fear, for losing people.
Take care,  and keep spinning and laughing 
Many warm greets to you all,
Jolien

Laughter is the best medicine for both mind and body, and dogs aren't far behind...

Thanks Jolien.
We all know people we love that are at high risk and also people who have lost their livelihood. Let's help everybody stay safe and we will get over this.

theres gotta be a future somewhere
 theres gotta be a chance out there
look through your own eyes never stop close your ears to those on top



this country is for you and me even
if it takes energy

the tune of glory's what we play, we'll try and help you through your day



and we will never say die in our city never say die in our streets

(bis)

put all the class behind you
 because you never gotta stop
make a noise for your future ,make a noise that never stops



and  we'll never say die in our city never say die in our streets ..."

I am stunned to hear that the big IJA convention in El Paso, Texas has been cancelled.  This event was not to be held until mid July!!!  For jugglers, it is on to Wichita, Kansas in 2021.

For big gatherings to become safe again, nearly everyone would have be immune one way or another. That's very unlikely to happen by July.

Learned something interesting about face tattoos today: A teardrop means you killed somebody  prison. A roll of toilet paper means you killed somebody in the grocery store.

Very interesting. His Atari shirt made me laugh.  I wondered who that woman was holding the baby to the left of the piano, but then she never moved.  I eventually figured out it was a statue.  Looked to me like a priest holding a young child.  His recognitions of everyone watching was fun.  I noticed the keyboard on top of the piano but I thought it was just there for storage.  I was surprised when he started playing it.  That's a good idea!!!  He really jammed out on that Amazing Grace.  I loved it and wish I could do just a little bit of it.

Thanks Jim!!!

Given my high risk for severe COVID-19, told my wife half-jokingly that I was reluctant to order more LEGO parts for her to sell off at a dime on the dollar. And she said, to my astonishment, "Jeez, just do it. It'll keep you out of my hair."

Who knows, might work for tops, too. ;^}
