The Saturday Picture Show, March 21, 2020

Major League Baseball will not start until mid-May, the earliest, they say. And for those who can't wait to see the patterns on the outfield grass at stadiums across America, here's a way to vacuum the living room and make it look like a ballpark.
War of Will won last year's Preakness here in Baltimore at Pimlico. Wherever he is now, he will get to wear his crown a while longer; the race is being moved from the traditional May to September this year because of the coronavirus.
Remember when they came out with vintage Nikes?  I had a pair of Cortez in 1982 when this type of shoe was still fairly new. People used to think I was wearing bowling shoes to the park. How silly! I wore bowling shoes to church!
And this picture shows up every year at this time- the intersection of winter & spring. Spring always wins.
The streets of Dublin were quite quiet this year on St Patrick's Day.
I would love to see this sort of thing everywhere. It's the very definition of America pulling together in a time of crisis.
It's still March, and who knows when we'll be back in our normal lives. I hope people don't have to miss graduations, proms, class trips, and the stuff we always associate with spring leading to summer. This woman was due to be graduated but it was called off due to you-know-what. She dressed appropriately for receiving her sheepskin, but having it handed to her by the registrar wasn't the ceremony she had in mind all these years.
Proving once again that animals are smarter than we, cats are here to demonstrate social distancing.
