There was discussion about when we will return to in-flesh meetings. Howeird follow on'd that as of tomorrow the state of Nevada will go back to pre-Covid levels Candy asked about masks at the diner & Gerry answered: Not while eating. But we did mask while going to restrooms and in and out. Staff wore masks. Gerry also reviewed a two novel collection by Benford and Niven 'Bowl of Heaven and Shipstar' as more tethered to plausible science on the face of it & as having a huge environment for the setting. It sets up for a sequel & he rated it as engaging. Lisa reviewed Balticon via remote, went to some science programs that went well and did some filking & it's got to the point where 'everyone knows what to do' & open filking & concerts are working very, very well. She is not a fan of discord & Zoom doesn't handle groups much larger than 10 without problems - but she had fun Gayle had a mixed experience with the Discord interface at Balticon, but she had a really good time & thought the science track was excellent Craig mentioned that he has been appreciating & enjoying virtual meetings, since he can attend them & Kennita suggested that the right camera could help with remote viewing for a live meeting Gayle reviewed a trip to Southern California in a rented Tesla, and the transport did work out. They visited family, did a little babysitting, did a submersible tour that was quite a hit & enjoyed it enough to want to go back we adjourned at 8:35 pm and the rumor of the week = 'There are no rumors everything is true -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?' melc...@gmail.com *******************
