From Twitter, @alexweprin

Networks are beginning to get creative with the pandemic-spurred production shutdown. CBS says it will air a special next weekend called "Haircut Night in America" in which celebrities like Jerry O'Connell and Kelly Osbourne give themselves haircuts.

We all know that mainstreet has been crushed by CV19. I'm curious to know how much CV19 is affecting white-collar business. So, how has your company adjusted to CV19 from a business perspective (ie, not a health/safety perspective)?

Irrationally nervous? vis-a-vis Cal FB would be, and I won't cop out and say any game but close. I've long since backed off from irrationality into rational nerves regarding USC, UW, UO etc. matchups. The irrationality would probably apply to FCS, and Group of 5 teams. Maybe Oregon State but that too has become fatalistic over the recent decade plus. Be nice to get cured of it.

Annie Glenn, American Hero

I held up my camera. "I've never shot a photo of just you, without John."

To my surprise, she grinned and pumped her arms in the air. It is one of my favorite photos of her because it is the Annie Glenn I knew, the friend I loved. The public perception of her wasn't wrong: She was kind and brave, in her quiet way, and ever gracious. But she was also whimsical and wise, and very funny.

Local police blotter:

A man wearing shorts that apparently did not fully cover his genitals prompted calls to police Wednesday in the Donaldson Run neighborhood.

Arlington County Police were dispatched to the area of Zachary Taylor Park, on the 2900 block of Military Road, around 11:30 a.m. and again shortly after 1 p.m. Callers described a tall man who was exposing himself, in sight of children.

On Nextdoor, one poster said her daughters encountered a tall man “with very short athletic shorts and tattoos on his legs.”

“He had short hair and an athletic build and was listening to headphones,” she wrote in a post sent to ARLnow. “The shorts did not cover much if you get my drift! I reported it to the police.”

ACPD spokeswoman Ashley Savage said officers located the man but were unable to find evidence of a crime.

“At approximately 1:18 p.m., police were dispatched to the report of an exposure involving a subject with a similar description to the earlier call for service in the same area,” Savage said. “Officers located an individual matching the description and made contact with him, however, he denied having exposed himself. The reporting party was no longer on scene and did not wish to respond to the Magistrate’s Office to swear out warrants. The incident was documented by responding officers.”
