Covid-19 Awareness & Support

When I recently went to Winco and used their restroom, the only option they have in their restroom for drying your hands is to use their hand air dryer. As I mentioned in a recent post, hand air dryers are to be avoided at all costs in any public restroom (I knew this LONG before Covid). I walked out of the restroom and was about to ask the worker at the pizza stand in the store for napkins when I saw they were on the counter (so I used to dry my hands on).  If you want to be extra cautious, you can grab the first napkin out and NOT use it, wipe down your hand that touched the napkin you did NOT use with a hand wipe (you should carry hand wipes OR hand sanitizer on you at all times) and then dry your hands off with the next set of napkins in the napkin dispenser/stack.

The bike has different levels of resistance which is great to intensify the bike ride. It's great to watch movies when riding this bike. Did you purchase this or any other exercise machine/device(s) during Covid? What did y...

Shortly after Covid-19 hit in March 2020, the CDC recommended Purell brand hand wipes to use when in between hand washings to prevent the spread of Covid. Other brands of hand wipes that I'd recommend (other than the Kroger brand [store brand for Fred Meyer that I featured on another recent post on my blog]) I'd recommend Wet Ones brand hand wipes (which I also believe I mentioned in that same recent post) and this slip printed off from Walgreens' receipt machine for the benefits of Wet Ones hand wipes below:
