[T3] 2020 Invasion - POSTPONED

[Jim Adney]

Yes, I'm afraid inevitable is the right word for this. In addition to 
the problems of trying to maintain social distancing at an invasion, 
there was also the problem of finding open motels and dining rooms on 
the way there and back. And if you planned to fly, that was totally 
unpredictable, as we hear reports of planes being completely full or 
almost empty.

Right now, the biggest problem I'm seeing is with packages coming or 
going via the USPS. I had one standard mail package that took a full 
month to make it here from Texas. Now I've got two Priority Mail 
packages that are more than a couple days late making their way from 
here to the east coast. I'm a big fan of the USPS, but it looks like 
this virus may succeed in killing it where the political forces 
failed.

Out of curiosity, does anyone here know anyone who has actually had, 
COVID-19, either mild or serious? No one we know personally has 
caught it, but all of our friends are staying safely at home. How 
many of you are working from home? Any of you still working, with 
distancing, without distancing?

Stay well, everyone,

Jim

However, in light of the recent announcement from the Governor of California about the plan to re-open the state slowly over the coming months, and out of an abundance of caution and concern for the well-being of all our Invaders, Brian Fye and I have decided to postpone the Invasion for one year.
