Signs Of Our Times!
As the world struggles through the worst health crisis in a century, we have endured months of #quarantinelife, and shocking worldwide death tolls as the world fights to overcome this horrible pandemic – but throughout the fight, there have been signs that we have not lost our ability to persevere – or to look for ways to inspire, enlighten and entertain each other throughout.
Covid-19 Is NOT A Joke…
There is nothing that can comfort those who have lost someone to this horrible virus, and this full page New York Times cover could only show 1,000 of the now more than 130,00 who have now lost their lives.
In the midst of this crisis, people have been sharing advice, sympathy, and in some cases, signs that are designed to raise our spirits as well.
These signs aren’t to make “light” of the worldwide tragedy, but designed to keep our spirits up – and remind us we are ALL in this together, sharing the same issues – until we can overcome this pandemic and get to a “new normal” in our lives.
As many restaurants, hair salons, local businesses and bars are struggling to reopen with new safety guidelines in place – one enterprising owner wants your help!
I appreciate that – let the heavy drinkers go first!
While in a bar or restaurant, it’s important to stay six feet away from others, but how do you know for sure?
Well, here’s an inventive way!

Finally, bravo to all who have had to educate our kids under these horrific conditions, especially parents who had to step in to fill the gap. This sign is for them:
Remember, I’ve already shown you some of my favorite Cover-19 masks, like this one for Vegetarians:
It’s just one of the many ways to stay healthy as we slowly return to life outside our homes – see my favorite “Bacon Mask” as well by clicking here:
I have gone through a variety of emotions since this pandemic began, at one point resorting to this:
Yes, I have been “toilet paper juggling” to kill time – and you can click to see more funny toilet paper memes as well:

We do need something to lighten up a desperate situation. But with a second wave in so many countries now, it is getting harder to smile at the moment.
Best wishes, Pete.

Crisis’s have a way of bringing out humour in people as it is a coping mechanism. I am enjoying all the jokes and limiting my news intake to two articles a day.
