Slightly cooler, humid, might be some rain.<\/p>\n
Yesterday we got rain almost everywhere I wasn’t.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I could see the cell moving across the north side of town as I drove around, but I never had any significant rain hit the truck.\u00a0 It did rain here at the house according to my\u00a0 wife,\u00a0 so I won’t have to water the gardens.\u00a0 Streets were dry by the time I got home though.<\/p>\n
Juneteenth was a nothing burger.\u00a0 I’ve lived here since ’03 and never was aware of any particular celebration even though it’s supposed to be a Houston thing.\u00a0 I certainly never heard anything about it in all the years I’ve lived elsewhere.\u00a0 The scanner had the cops following and keeping an eye on various groups throughout the day, but I didn’t hear about any violence.\u00a0 I guess it could have gone a different way, and it did bring home the value of the scanner for at least a heads up, since I was completely unaware until I heard the first discussion about the gathering crowd.\u00a0 I chose a different route for my errand and avoided any potential threats.<\/p>\n
Today I’ve got a couple more things to pick up, and then I’m battening down the hatches again.\u00a0\u00a0 Too many stories of people who just HAD to go out and break the distancing rules, who are now getting sick.\u00a0\u00a0 I don’t feel super anyway, so I’m not risking it.\u00a0 YMMV.\u00a0 I am ADVOCATING that you all continue to isolate as much as possible.\u00a0 I could be wrong and often am, but the downside risk is huge for this one.<\/p>\n
Kids are at swim team practice with the wife this morning, and then (possibly) staying for some free swim.\u00a0 I’m not the boss of her and I know she’ll TRY\u00a0 to stay separated.\u00a0 It will also let her take the tenor of the (female half of the) tribes.\u00a0 Perhaps she’ll get home with renewed commitment to isolating.<\/p>\n
It could happen.<\/p>\n
Dinner was stewed chicken thighs, in the slow cooker with a sauce packet and veg.\u00a0 I didn’t have what I usually put in, so I went with onion, turnip, beets, carrots, and apple.\u00a0 It tasted great.\u00a0 Just a bit of extra sweet to go with the savory of the spice packet.\u00a0 Dessert was a cupcake.\u00a0 Daughter baked cupcakes for our friends with covid, and another family we haven’t seen in\u00a0 a while.\u00a0 They dropped them off as a drive by act of kindness.<\/p>\n
Some of you know from yesterday’s comments that Barbara is sick in the hospital, which is why she hasn’t posted this week.\u00a0 Please see my post over at her site for what details we have.\u00a0 I’ll be passing along whatever she or her sister Frances would like me to.\u00a0 Please keep\u00a0 her and those who love her in your prayers.<\/p>\n
The one scenario\/ contingency I can’t remember Bob ever discussing planning for was his absence.\u00a0 Give it some consideration in your own situation and planning.<\/p>\n
Keep planning, and stacking.<\/p>\n
