Here, it is howling. Every night at 8 PM, the howling begins. I don't know if it is just my community, just my county, all of California, or all of the nation. I also don't know if people decided on this. It is, in many meanings of the word, a viral phenomena. I heard it was done as a way to thank health care workers. It starts from all directions at once, gradually rising in intensity. I think it has been going on for more than a week. Two weeks? April is almost over.
I usually don't like strong showings of public emotions. My feelings of solidarity have been wrung a bit thin. Also, my dog gets confused enough at the howling outside. But tonight I joined in. For just a minute, I want to believe we are all in this together.
