    Between schools reopening and Labor Day, we could easily find ourselves back to square. Be smart. Stay safe.

    You don’t send your children outside when the bombs are falling.

    It’s just like any other war fought in your country. Life is not normal for citizens, but has to go on. Europe, the USA – lots of countries have been through it. You cannot hide away for months or maybe years…
