An AI doc (the only sort you can get in the UK, these days) had earlier chewed on my demographics and the weather\/dates, to predict the strong likelihood of this happening. I very rarely get ill, otherwise. The AI was right, and not even wearing a mask for a while (as was suggest) prevented it. I suppose I should think myself lucky, though, because at least it wasn&#8217;t the &#8216;flu.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, for this reason my regular &#8216;Picture Postals&#8217; post is necessarily short this week. Just the one picture, but a fine one. The steps of Lovecraft&#8217;s Public Library in Providence.
