I developed some medical problems prior to the COVID pandemic that kept me from touring, needed to get medications adjusted to deal with them. Just as I was planning to do a favorite tour along the California coast (for about the 5th time!),, COVID struck and nothing since then. I had 'penciled' in doing it during October this year if the COVID issue died down here in California, but it appears to be sticking around at a 'managed' level. Also, my employer will require me to get a negative test and do a 5-day quarantine followed by a negative COVID test when I get back due to the use of public transportation (Amtrak). until And the California wildfires aren't making it easier either; they're not in Southern California, but we still have a few hot, dry months until the rainy season starts (hopefully!).
