Well if your father gets the chlorine up to 20 parts per million, that could damage the retina, but it's unusual to overchlorinate that much. Generally the ideal level for the swimming pool is 1 to 5 parts per million. He should also keep the PH between 7.2 and 7.8.

Apart from work I do tend to lead a rather solitary life, and I did spend 10½ months in solitary confinement, so I've had quite enough of that. My mountain climbing partner is self-isolating, saying the main trail up Squaw Peak is dangerously overcrowded these days. My mother is terrified that I'm bringing home the plague from work every day, and all the amenities of big city life are closed, so she's staying at the property in Mayer that she inherited from my stepfather. The cowardly bishop closed down all the churches, so she couldn't even attend Easter mass, which means a lot to her. I thought about how mass was said after the Apaches burned down San Xavier del Bac and even in Ireland when the Crown prescribed the penalty of death for saying mass, and how during the Bubonic Plague of the 14th Century there were priests who had the courage and faith to administer the sacraments to the sick, and I sent Bishop Olmsted a scathing e-mail telling him to resign and ask Pope Francis to appoint someone with some guts.

I haven't posted much lately because it's spring and the mud is drying out. Last weekend I went hiking in the west segment of Reach 11, even though the city council said they'd close trailhead parking. I thought I would have to commit some vandalism and take a hacksaw to the barricades to thwart their attempt to impede the right to peaceably assemble, but they were bluffing, and all the trailhead parking lots were open, and plenty of people were using them. All the mud was dry though, even the deepest pits in the torn up area near the equestrian center were dry. The flowers were still there, but even most of the insects had gone. Tomorrow I'll try the state trust land. Maybe there's still mud there.
