Cool Beans
My 12th puzzle of the pandemic 
"The 12th puzzle of the 2020 pandemic was 1500 pieces of jelly beans. It looked pretty hard. But it was divided into 5 sections with the backs of the pieces color-coded. Sorting by colors meant this was like 5 smaller puzzles and was therefore not too hard at all, and so enjoyable with many bright colors and shapes. Its funny how puzzles have become an important part of my 2020 life. I suspect this will be even more true as the year progresses into winter. Far from being over, the last weekend saw the highest number of daily Covid-19 cases in Oregon at 523 on October 23rd, and numbers surging throughout the country and internationally."
