81. I didn't actually count how many times...

Feb 29

…I checked to see if we were back up, but it was several times an hour starting in the late afternoon. And, like many who have already commented, there were definitely flashbacks to 2016 even tho this was planned and announced.

I’ve never met a single DU member in person, yet I treasure this community.

Some “addictions” are beneficial. Mine to DU most certainly is.
