We have direct deposit. He sent us that letter anyway. At least if TP runs out, we have some recourse…

Were there any words other than hombre and taco?

At the store today I saw someone walking around with one of those inflatable dinosaur suits:


(Sorry about the crappy picture.)

I guess that’s one way to social distance.

Cute, but I suspect it’s hard to easily sterilize later.

You just shine a light up in there.

But… he’s white and a man, so let’s give him a second… I’m sure he has something worthwhile, especially since the governor of Michigan is a… woman. A white one, but still. I’m sure he has something worth saying…

Better than the old asshole without a mask or gloves who stood less than a foot behind me today, while I was trying to wrap up paying for my families’s groceries.

Ugh. I’ve had this happen more than once. It’s like, step the F back, people.

The grocery stores around here are pretty on the ball. Employees and most patrons are wearing masks, aisles are one way (you can see some of the signs in my picture), checkout lines have markers telling where you should stand, and carts and baskets are sanitized after every use.

Not that this stops people from ignoring the signs and markers, or from congregating in the aisles - but it’s at least something.

This kind of thing sounds good but it has the effect of cutting the number of paths across the store in half, offering us fewer choices with which to avoid each other

In my neighborhood people are pretty good about staying six feet apart but we mostly ignore the arrows

It seems to be good in theory - by making sure traffic flows in one direction people aren’t getting close trying to pass one another in opposite directions. On the other hand my trips to the store are taking much longer now because I’m trying to follow the rules. Most don’t bother.

Aaargh.

This is stupid on levels that were heretofore only theoretical.

It disgusts me that a country where people are afraid of taking necessary precautions to protect themselves just because of their skin pigmentation dares to call itself “leader of the free world”.

Shall we include punishing the guy who actually gave a damn about the sailors who were getting sick and potentially dying (1 death so far I believe)? There are so many evil and damned souls in this administration it will never be possible to sort them all out.
