Comment on Learn to play Mahjong at Himmel Library’s Senior Games by Jeremiah Lee

What about those of us under 50 who are interested in learning/playing Mahjong? I didn’t see any mention of it in the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center’s program. Any other info for non-seniors would be most welcome. Thanks!

Maybe we shouldn’t dare to venture into the public, as I said before…I figured shopping cards were full of germs, and I usually use toothpicks to pick up lemon wedges, and never ever read magazines in doctor’s/dentist’s offices. But how do we pick up menus w/o touching them, short of carrying plastic gloves with us? A friend of mine just wrote via email & said she uses gloves to pump gas. And what about using seat handles on the bus?

According to AARP you can add restaurant menus, lemon wedges on drinks, shopping carts, and doctor’s offices (don’t touch the magazines).

Thanks Karyn. I think the study focused on commuting from home to work, not stopping at public restrooms along the way. I agree that public restrooms could be dirty, so I try to use paper towels instead of my hands to touch things in them, and I push open/close a door with my shoulder without using the door knobs.

I’m surprised it didn’t say restroom door knobs. If I go into the restroom to wash my hands before I eat and then touch the door knob on my way out, I’m undoing my clean deed. I hate being paranoid though but must buy more sanitizer for my purse.

Comment on Republican businessman Sean Collins files to run for District 4 Pima County Supervisor by Carolyn_Classen

Actually I think Supervisor Carroll has served 14.5 years since he was first appointed in May, 1997. This is first opponent since November, 1998 when he won that general election.

Thousands of people downtown right now listening to music at the 2 stages. We heard The Tryst jazz/soul/funk/rock group, followed by Poi-zen fire dancers/breathers. Also found a reception at new clothing store Revolution, 43 S. 6th Avenue. More fun to follow tomorrow.

Finale tribute at Centennial Hall today of assorted entertainment/education: Arizona Symphony Orchestra, UA Symphonic Choir, two poets, a history professor, women diarists, “Padre querido” corrido (song), dendrochronology & astronomy updates, UA Dance Ensemble performing “Arizona Highways”, and finally the lively Pride of Arizona band — all showcasing the best at the UA, founded in 1885 before statehood.
