In confusing times,

err on the side of kindness

Wow. It is crazy right now. One day, it looks like things are getting better. The next, we are logging record-high numbers of positive Covid-19 tests and the governor is warning that things could still get worse.

Every part of this pandemic is frustrating and confusing. And my, my, my do people have strong opinions.

I just want to ask you all for your patience. Everyone is trying to do the best they can. Everyone one -- from county health officials to our mayor, local business owners to your neighbors and people you "see" on social media -- is trying to do the best they can.

Please just be kind, let's make that what sets Taylor apart from the rest of the world. Kindness matters.
