 WINTER
2021
The
strangest
year I
can
recall
in the
last
thirty
or so is
over,
but at
least
one
plague
is not.
Masks or
no,
we're
moving
on.
If you
can
abide
the
risk,
get your
vaccine.
Otherwise,
be
prepared
to
continue
this
strange
new
existence
of
hidden
faces
and
absent
crowding.
We have
to live
with
such
complications
of an
international
system
indefinitely
apparently.
Traveling
at 600
knots on
a jet is
a
marvelous
means of
getting
from
Rome to
New
York, or
Beijing
to San
Francisco,
but the
price is
everywhere
apparent:
in our
time and
for the
foreseeable
future,
pandemics
spread
at near
supersonic
speeds.
Winter 2021

Turner's

way an

an
impossible
