Monday morning. A spring-like day. Happy birthday to Steve Jobs, George Thorogood and Abe Vigoda.

Need a chuckle? Here are 50 comics to cheer you up.

There seems to have been a lull in coronavirus news. There’s a sense that too much coverage could either panic the public or numb them into indifference. But some experts are worried that the horse is out of the barn and it’s time to get the public prepared for what might be coming so we can get serious about developing prevention habits. Remember the ebola handshake?

UPDATE: if there was a lull it’s over now.

That seems to make sense to everyone but Back Bay business owners and they make some good points on keeping the Hynes where it is. Stay tuned.

A new technology net-zero building is slated for Roxbury. The five story cross-laminated timber structure will have 19 residential units and be one of the most energy efficient buildings in the US. Other than noting that Roxbury is “in the south end of Boston,” the article in The Architect’s Newspaper doesn’t provide a location for the project. But the illustrations put it at Hampden and Eustis.

And Better Call Saul is back on Sunday. All is well with the world.
