Dear Reader,
Although all the COVID experts keep reminding us that we have to remain vigilant, it seems that many of us are suffering from what is called “pandemic precaution fatigue.” Have you let your guard down a bit? Done things that you wouldn’t do just a few weeks ago? I still am very cautious, but I am doing a few things I had stopped doing. I’m going into stores more often, and I even ate dinner at an outdoor restaurant! Wild, right? How about you?
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

Ruth Bader Ginsburg (March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020) was an American judge who served on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death. Also known as RBG or Notorious RBG, Ginsburg is admired by many for pioneering women’s legal rights and being a role model for girls. She was the second woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court (after Sandra Day O’Connor) and the first Jewish woman to serve.
