Acquaintances

Sign makers have been busy; first printing CLOSED, NO TRESPASSING, and now reminders to keep apart. Two metres doesn't prevent Chris, Kelly, Gord, or Dronia from sharing updates and offering encouragement. 

"Acquaintances are the people I've met at the leash-free park, or with kids and grandkids, exploring three different neighbourhoods in this modest-sized town for over forty years. We wave and chat, though I seldom know their last names or what they take in their coffee." p. 70
