Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth of July!

I'm going to celebrate by working!  Well, let's be honest.  I'm working because I've been scheduled.  They are going to feed us, mostly to mollify our discontent at having to work.  How busy will the store be?  Well, we'll get the people who think there's going to be a big sale.  NO SALE.  The aisles are not cluttered up with special deals thanks to the need for Social Distancing.  One bit of news: we were supposed to start staying open until 9 PM, but that's now been put on hold indefinitely thanks to the infection rate in Republican states.

Speaking of the Republicans... I understand the Idiot Jerk's re-election campaign's focus on Covid 19 is to tell America to just "live with it."  They don't understand the reason for the lockdowns is to contain the spread... so hospitals are not inundated with patients.  The more you cripple an ICU, the higher your death rate is going to go.  That is something they just do not understand.  They will never understand until one of their loved one's is dying in a hospital hallway because there's no bed.

I did not ride or write last evening after I got home from work.  Nope.  My aquarium stand arrived yesterday, mid-afternoon.  A very big... heavy box was sitting halfway up my front steps.  Once I'd gotten it into my living room, I sat down and started assembling.  It took me about 3 hours, and the doors are still not attached.   I took a picture this morning to give you an idea of what it looks so far.  I'm off work on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Tuesday I'll go get the gravel and fill it up.  Wednesday I'm planning on going to get the live plants.
