There were no protesters yesterday, and the day turned out to be nice and sunny. The line to get into the store was fairly long. I am impressed by the patience of people in this time of crisis. I need to amend that to say most people. There is that minority group out there who hate being told what they can and cannot do. Isn't it interesting they, themselves, want dictate to us what we can and cannot do. Hhhmm. Many of them don't understand what's going on. They don't care about anything but their own selfish wants. In America, this is the new definition of Conservatism.
On a lighter side, I rode 64.9 miles last week. Five days in a row I was on the bicycle, three of them in San Remo (through the magic of Tacx). Yesterday, however, I was in France riding stage 2 of Liege-Bastogene-Liege. One of the hills has a 17% grade. Interestingly enough, it was filmed on race day so I was riding with actual cycling teams. Let me tell you, the feeling was rather surreal seeing the Lotto cyclists riding towards me.
There's supposed to be a big protest in Harrisburg today, which is in Dauphin County... which has a fairly high infection rate. 15% of those tested have been positive. Ouch. Governor Wolf said "if they want to come and protest, let them come and protest." Of course, they might end up taking something back home to Granny, but that's okay.
And now even that idiot Pence is saying the "cure might be worse then the disease," which is his way of justifying the loss of life. He's always been a failed human.
Finally, I took another picture of my tulips, this through one of my rose bushes. For those interested, I've marked Glen. He.... she.... It seems to be doing find. I suspect that might change as he becomes conflicted over his... her... It's inability to bloom.
Glad you're wearing a mask. Really. You're doing your part.
ReplyDeleteI went grocery shopping yesterday and waited outside while someone finished doing their shopping. NO biggie.
I'm afraid they'll make us order online and pick it up curbside eventually. I read many grocery shop employees have tested positive for COVID 19. Ugh. What is it that people don't understand?
As for the 'protesters', pure astroturfing. It's all a charade. Those fuckers are organized by the same idiots who organized Charlottesville. And backed by Repug money. It's all for show. Fucked up side is, they'll keep this infection going for longer that it's necessary.
Idiots!
XOXO
The organizers don't seem to realize that at this point they are turning people off which is a good way to lose.
DeleteOn Saturday while out getting food, I saw that traffic was typical for that day of the week and it saddened me. I kept thinking, "Where are all these people going? Everything's closed!"
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note, when do we get to see tulips on your organ? >;-)
My you are a silly punster!
DeleteAnd what you're seeing is a segment of the population in love with their cars who need to be going somewhere.
I'm here for the Glen news. That little trans plant has me obsessively concerned about their welfare. Poor Glen, unique amongst all of the plants who know what they are. He will survive. Cue Gloria Gaynor!
ReplyDelete... just so you know, one of my friends looked at Glen and then, in a very serious voice, asked how I knew he... she... it wasn't one of the Pod People.
DeleteI love your twolips! My neighbor made me two fave masks from fabric remnants, of at least 200 thread count. But the way she stitches the fabric..their is a slit in back to insert a coffee filter for added protection. Fits the mouth and nose area nicely
ReplyDeleteOkay, so what do you do if own a Keurig?
DeleteYour state has surpassed mine with the number of confirmed cases. Why aren't people looking at the numbers? We were hard hit early and have only been slowing it down by using strict measures.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw that... crap!! You'd never know from our store.
DeleteYes sadly the ones who want the lockdown lifted, will actually cause it to last longer.
ReplyDeleteAnd when they finally have their breathing tube removed they'll blame Clinton.
Deletethe protesting asstwats in HBG should all catch the virus and die. no great loss.
ReplyDeleteThat would achieve 2 things, less Republicans at the polls this fall, and a quieter world.
DeleteI could never do a service job - I don't have the ability to keep my mouth shut when people are being a**holes!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not too good at it either, I tend to argue on the side of the truth.
DeleteI just happened to see on CNN coverage from Harrisburg. I don't remember seeing so my hillbillies and bubbas in Harrisburg before. The Trust Jesus signs were a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteThat is what happens when you lift up a rock
