New meanings about the saying, "Friends with benefits". I actually bought this one from her Etsy store. She was perturbed that I "bought" it and made me another "Tesla" mask that also matches my car.

Regretfully, but not surprisingly, we need to postpone our beloved cephalopod conference, due to uncertainty with the expected state of the virus for this autumn. We were poised for a great event, with strong registration trends up until the virus hit. We can't rightfully expect travel plans...
