My grandma, Linda Watland, has always had a charitable and creative side. This was something she passed on to me at a young age.
She first taught me how to loom knit when I was five, and from there it progressed to crochet. She recently confessed to me that she did not think I could do it because knitting and crocheting take a lot of time and dedication to learn. But to this day, those are still some of my favorite activities to do on a cold night in front of the fire.
We still knit together and my grandma has made over 100 hats for children in need. Prior to the pandemic, I volunteered at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center in the neonatal intensive care unit. I was able to make hats and blankets for the babies.

3 states, 10 days, nearly 4,000 miles: The long journey of a Vancouver-area man’s prescription ordered from a pharmacy 2 miles away

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, Thomas Ryll of the Vancouver area had been getting his prescriptions delivered by mail. Since the pandemic though, Ryll said, he orders pretty much everything to be delivered.
“My mantra,” he said, “has been, ‘Lie on the couch, order the item and they put it on the porch in a couple days. Why should I drive somewhere to get it?’”
Usually, he said, he receives what he orders promptly. But in February, his prescription for a low-dose blood pressure medication from the pharmacy 2 miles from his house traveled 3,600 miles, through three states before arriving at his house 10 days later.
