It's over two months now since I last bothered to set my alarm clock.

Like most of the US, as Oregon "reopens", concerns have shifted from care homes to the food supply chain. We don't have any massive meatpacking plants out here, but we do have fruit canneries, at least three of which have been in the local news this past week for outbreaks.

As for my workplace, the latest is that no one will be required to come back to the office before Labor Day. (For international readers, that's the first Monday in September, the traditional end of summer in the US.)

A very minor concern, of course, compared to what's happening across the US this weekend. Portland has seen little violence; there were some windows smashed Friday night, but nothing more than graffiti on Saturday, and the Portland police have been avoiding the kind of tactics that are generating headlines like this one.
