Before the current Covid-19 outbreak, Europe was suffering a different kind of scourge: mimes. I have seen them in Barcelona, Venice, and when my sister Susan and I traveled to Europe several years ago, in Florence. That is where I took the photograph on the left of Susan and a mime in front of the Uffizi Gallery. You are supposed to give the mime money, and then he or she will perform some sort of entertaining act. Since this was Susan's first trip to Europe, she seemed to be confused about the process and wanted the mime to give HER money. On the other hand, knowing my sister, she knew EXACTLY what she was doing.
