    The effects of this mess have now hit close to home.

    Not that any of the family have it, that we are aware of but rather my oldest just learned he was laid off this morning. He was inline to take over a management position in August after being with the company for not quite two years and then COVID hit. Everything was initially just put on hold but now there is some downsizing taking place.

    Anyone know of an outfit looking for a 3-D/Virtual Reality person?

    Sorry to hear it Bwana. So far we’ve been lucky in that regard in our family. Knock on wood.

    How is the employment situation in Nodak?

    Unemployment has skyrocketed, especially in the Bakken Oil Field as low oil prices have caused many wells to be shut in until higher oil prices return. This has a ripple-effect throughout the state.

    With my life, I want to BE a virtual reality person.

    Sounds like the cat may have landed on his feet for the time being. Hopefully things work out for him.
