davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2021

Ohhh kayyyy, so... wasn't Plague... eliminated? Extinct? Whatever you call a virus that is no longer found on Earth? I thought I heard this, but I guess I was just naively thinking that was the case. Plague is a scary thing, because fleas, being its spreaders, provide a pretty easy way of transmission - you don't even have to eat, touch, or even be close to the originally affected animal to get the disease, a flea can just get on your dog or cat, and then to you. Eek! I wonder what is being done (if there's anything they can do) to heal your rodent population. A quick Google search told me at least the thing isn't as bad as it sounds: nowadays we already have treatment for the bubonic plague, but it still sucks... 
At first I found it funny how the staple on the ad is placed where the rodent's mouth is, giving it a displeased smirk, but the more I think of it, the more morbid I feel about finding something connected to such a topic funny :/

Come on out! Once international travel restrictions are lifted, anyway. I think Alliecat will be here during the epic solar eclipse in October 2023. We can have a science-intensive Dolly Market meet-up!

Oh man, that would be awesome!  However, with all the restrictions and "rules" and "requirements" coming into effect for travel, some of us aren't feeling very optimistic  Could things possibly be "back to normal" by then...?? ....????  

Now that would be awesome indeed! And maybe, just maybe (knocking on wood) 2023 is too far ahead for the world to finally get back to a state that is closer to normal. I really wish this'd be the case. Sadly, travel restrictions aren't yet fully lifted around here either, and while I personally could travel, my sister, having received a different vaccine that the EU mostly doesn't accept (don't ask me why the government thought it's a good idea to buy tons of that to vaccinate people with  ), can only travel to a very limited number of countries, so the sister trip to the UK we've been planning since before this crap hit, will have to be postponed further, for who-knows-how-long...
