Get those N95 masks now, folks - by summer, it’s back to mask shortages once again.
EDIT: BTW, stay away from the KN95 (aka, Chinese standards) being sold everywhere and get the more effective N95 NIOSH (aka, US standards) masks

And for next 4 years, responsibility for the resulting hardships will somehow be laid at the feet of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
They are notorious for sudden spider mite infestations - damage looks similar to your photo. Do you see any webbing or very tiny creepy crawlies?
I posted this in another thread, but it’s applicable here as well:
My own conclusions as a US citizen:
- Stay up to date on your personal vaccines (annual flu, COVID, and anything age-recommended like shingles, RSV, etc.)
- Additionally, visit a travel vaccine clinic for any “non-routine” vaccines currently only recommended for travel to Asia, Africa, and Latin America - those threats will be here at some point as well
- Have some N95 masks
- Don’t depend on the US government to keep you safe or heathy - you are on your own
If I had to prioritize one vaccine to start with, I would get the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine first (one adult booster is recommended). Then Polio.

Hello my fellow Stick Enthusiasts!
Now that you have found your stick (or rather, your stick found YOU), you may be asking yourself, “What do I do with this sweet stick?”
ANSWER: Keep it forever.
Here is my sweet piece of life lumber. Probably mulberry, found after an overgrown field was mowed down just days prior. I scraped off the outer layer of bark, revealing that nice inner brown layer. Shallow cuts through the brown inner back provide this masterpiece with its characteristic look. Tapering downward from it’s perfect hand hold just under it’s bulb, it feels perfect to me, even after 30 years together. A thin layer of spar urethane every 10 years will keep this beauty with me until the very end. And when that time comes, it will go in the box with me.
STICK STATS: 59.5” long, 1.75” bulb, .75” at tip. Strong, with just the right amount of flex and balance. Weight: perfect.
Clue: How many boxes are there?
