• We learned: about a Pennsylvania factory where workers spent 28 days manufacturing raw materials for personal protective equipment. They all volunteered to work alternating 12 hour shifts without leaving even once. An impressive reminder that the work being done to fight COVID-19 involves many, many parts.

• We think: it is amazing to find hidden details in works of art that have been admired for hundreds of years. Scans have provided more information about the “Girl with a Pearl Earring,” known for its mysterious subject.

• We read: about some of the challenges posed by even the best-intentioned policies. The Paycheck Protection Program is intended to allow small businesses to keep their people employed. In some cases, employees would have higher income if they were fired instead of retained, due to increases in unemployment insurance. In the case of one business, some employees were upset that they would not receive benefits. No good deed goes unpunished.

• We've been: this rendition of Bolero by the National Orchestra of France. We’d like to know more of how they blend these individual performances together so nicely"

• We recommend: long bike rides and have had a great experience during the distancing era at Super Cool Bike Shop in Gainesville. It has been nice to have an outlet and Gainesville is fortunate to have some nice bike trails.
