Still alive

REMEMBER - they did not make The arrest because THEY saw the tape.  They made the arrest because WE saw the tape. 

for my friends in Turkmenistan  (so many) there was a killing in the southern part of America where a father and son killed a black athlete jogger because . . . well . . he was black.  Their were no arrests because  . . .well . . .that is a good question.   

All of a sudden there is a video that shows the unarmed kid getting shot for no reason and THEn things got interesting.  FINALLY after 2 months they arrested both for murder.

How much you want to bet that those same two racists also protested with Nazi flags demanding freedom to open the State up to commerce.

 There is a show that DJ and I both love called Dress This Mess.  Sort of a modern Green Acres.  I had my doubts about the show but it's pretty funny and every show there are a few lines that are hilarious.

Last week one reminded me of what the Open America NOW cult might say when everything opens up.

"HONEY - put your best bra on we're going to the Sizzler"

My Die Hard power drill died very softly . . .not hard at all.  Is that false advertising?   So I asked my brother what his contractors used and they all loved RYOBI.  So I saw Home Depot had them and ordered one on line for a SAME DAY day pick up. Easy.  Just wait for the email saying its ready to be picked up.

Nothing on day one.  I had to go to retired Elwood's place to take him to the bank as he had checks and no car.  So I went to Home depot WITH A MASK and - NOPE - not ready.  The woman said they have been getting 500 orders an hour for same day pick up.

SO - she printed the receipt and told me to just go and get it and walk out.      OK THEN!

So I did and no hot dogs  at Home Depot. :-(

I was at Pic n Save in Columbus WITH MY NEW MASK from RodMelotte.com 

And maybe 50% of the customers were wearing masks and this one woman kept meeting friends and taking her mask off to talk to them.  I then got in line to check out and she took off her mask to lean around the plexi glass to talk to the checker.   sigh. 

Then to get Sassy Cow milk and look for Bagels Forever bagels I went to HyVee and 80% of the customers were wearing masks  and 1% were wearing them on the chin only . . . . .OK THEN!

No Bagels Forever bagels but they did have sassy cow Milk.

+++++

Here in Columbus there is a great thing going on.  A group has organized a raffle with all money going towards businesses that are closed.   The first business was James Street Pizza.  For $5 you can get a ticket worth $40 in pizza.

I LOVE James Street Pizza, ESPECIALLY when I found out Chicken George from Big Brother 1 and 7 was the owners brother. 

WELL - the first drawing was a few days ago and over $1000 was donated to James Street Pizza who immediately donated the money to workers and farmers who provided ingredients (as opposed to large GOP headed corporations that kept the Tax Break for the wealthy money for themselves).

Next up a couple hair places that we donated some of our pretend stimulus money (we have not gotten a dime yet).

SADLY - I don't think there will be a Big Brother this year.  The #1 pure strategy show  on TV. 

BTW - Survivor Season 40 has been fantastic this year.

Prednisone - dropping from 3mg a day to 2 every other day now.  My knee feels GREAT for the first 1000 steps . . .then it gets a little tender.

Since DJ and I met 25 years ago we have had a few "summers of"   We had the Summer of Rum and we had the Winter of Vodka and now couped up in the house we're having the  "Summer of Love"  because of this Pornovirus.  Nothing like a Quarenteen to rekindle a love affair LOL (not that it was ever lacking). 

Funny story - During teh Summer of Rum we were at a pool and DJ was reading one of the "Beauty" books (The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty actually)- PRETTY racy stuff if you know what I mean.

A kid is making friend and asked what what are you reading (we were pool people back then)? And she hands him the book  LOL    I bet he had a boner for weeks and could not go to the pool.       

To much information?
