Extremely local news:
My wife and I have to go into Scottsbluff, Panhandle capital of Covid tomorrow so she can attend to a medical appointment. We haven’t been to Scottsbluff in months, because of the way Covid-19 is being handled in my state. Scottsbluff is sixty miles away.
Perhaps we should burn our clothes when we get home.
