多年前給銀行係統設計壓力測試scenario的時候,我們絞盡腦汁地拚命想,什麽是能影響全球經濟的風險事件. 最後搞了個5%發生概率的 Global Pandemic,假設曆時半年結束.
現在看來,當初的想法是太簡單了.這次的新冠眼看就要進入第三年了,除了每天更高的曲線,一點也看不到結束的希望.
1. 2021年從德克薩斯州百年不遇的寒流開始. 占德州電網容量40%的”綠色能源”風力發電機,
一夜間被風雪紛紛凍住. 我也不幸成為幾百萬遭受兩天停電的難民之一.

2.室內體育場館關閉一年之後,眼瞅著腰身逐漸肥大,2021新年的resolution便是重新開始鍛煉.
趁著全球供應鏈還運行的時候,從香港進口了一台網球機,重新撿起了20年沒打的網球.

3.網球好在是室外運動,無論如何比室內的乒乓球安全. 雖然大多數時候還是我一人打發球機.
![Tennis#4 Tennis#4](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51098095836_b5ff031940_c.jpg)
4. 半年以後,參加了本市網球俱樂部的聯賽. 靠著乒乓球的運動基礎,居然一路從3.0晉級到了4.0組.
看來以後可以堅持下去了.

後院的蟲子們
5.不能出門的時候,想起了買了多年未用的佳能MPE 65mm微距鏡頭. 和同樣派不上用場的Edelkrone
電子滑軌組裝了一套自動微距拍攝設備,把後院的蟲子們拍了個遍.
