Happy Pi Day from Hawaii

ralphjy

14 Mar 2020

I did not anticipate that I would be in Hawaii for Pi Day this year.  Unfortunately, it's not for vacation but to do a service plan review for my 97 year old mother who is in an assisted living here in Honolulu.  I'm hoping that I'll get home to Oregon next week but with all of the Covid-19 issues nothing is certain anymore.  I have to admit that I'm surprised that I haven't seen any posts about Covid-19 on E14.  I guess that's a good thing - that means that the community hasn't been affected yet and that's not our focus anyway.

 

On a happier note, here is a rainbow in Manoa Valley (home of the University of Hawaii Rainbows) where I went to college.

And my wife sent me a picture of a dusting of snow this morning on our back deck in Oregon.

Happy Pi Day to everyone!

    You're obviously right, but I was thinking of the no holds barred relatively unmoderated media like Facebook, Twitter, etc that have millions of followers.  I probably should not generalize so much.  I doubt that E14 could cause a run on toilet paper though image.  Of course, I could be underestimating the power of the community image.

    The hoarding is really prevalent in a place like Hawaii that depends on shipping for resupply.  There was actually some fighting at the local Costco over toilet paper.  And there was panic buying at the local grocery stores when it was falsely reported on social media that shipping was going to be suspended.  The Russians are probably going to have a field day with spreading panic over social media.  Maybe social media should be suspended.
