taking a break from trading for a while
I'm sorry to say that I think I need to take a break from trading for a while. The wife and I are in the higher risk categories for this virus, and sending out cards requires me to visit the local post office. And since going there ups my risk and doesn't supply me with food or toilet paper, I think I am going to put trips there (and to other non-essential places) on hold for a bit. Not permanently, just until we get this virus situation under better control.
Thanks to all for past trades, for understanding this position, and for future trades when I can - Mark

Good luck and keep healthy. I'm not stopping, but will definitely be slowing down a bit right now.
