Answer #105. Still Standing
The answer to Steve's Stay-at-Home Coronavirus Quiz for January 24, 2021
SPOILER ALERT
If you have not read Quiz #105. Still Standing just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did NOT happen?
A. On Saturday morning, I checked the feed from the Ring camera which, as noted in Quiz #103 Ring in the New Year, we installed in the backyard to keep track of critters. On Saturday, I found our first sighting of animals beyond the dogs. At 3:31AM, the Ring showed a fox chasing a rabbit. We think the bunny escaped;
B. When I woke up Saturday morning, I read an email from Jackpocket informing me that I’d won $2 in the MegaMillions from a lottery ticket I’d purchased online;
C. On Saturday morning, Ted texted me that the winning MegaMillions ticket worth $1 billion dollars had been sold at a grocery store less than a mile from his Michigan warehouse;
D. This Saturday may have been our least active day of the stay-at-home pandemic. I won’t tell you when I woke up, but Sara and I did not get dressed until 2:30 in the afternoon--and by that time, I’d taken 2 naps;
E. On Saturday, Sara started reading “The Nix” by Nathan Hill, a novel I had championed back in 2016 when it came out. Sara told me that she’s waited to read it because she doesn’t like being told what to do.
The only animals we’ve spotted on the backyard Ring have been the dogs.
Nathan Hill is on the subscriber list for this quiz. Nathan, if you’re reading, Sara says she’s enjoying your book very much. (Don’t tell Steve.)
