Social distancing
0What a difference a few short weeks make. Their were rumors flying that we would not be able to leave South Africa on March 13, but we did with no incident. We then learned that they were going to close the South African border the following Wednesday, which I do not know that they did.

Pranks
0Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. If my timing is correct, then we just passed April 1…”April Fool’s Day.” Did you get pranked? Did you prank someone? Seems to be kind of a dying art these days. However, I kind of got pranked, but not in the way you might think. At work I have a Flexible Savings Account, and each year we have to sign up. I dutifully submitted my claims, but after several weeks, there were no responses, which was unusual, then I got an email notice that my claims were denied. To…
