I’m loving all this rain, but at the same time not envying folks along the east coast facing tropical storm emergencies during the pandemic.  I can’t imagine having to choose between two forms of death risk at a time like this.

It’s dangerous enough just shopping for necessities, knowing there are actually people who are intentionally and maliciously coming up to masked customers and spewing germs on them, out of some misguided resentment over the inconvenience of masks.  This is the kind of deranged behavior encouraged by our narcissist-in-chief.

Fortunately we did not encounter much strange behavior at Kroger this morning, other than a large creepy guy stalking E through the store.  Almost everyone was wearing a mask, although some people still don’t get the part about actually covering their faces.  Mental deficiency seems to go with trump territory.

But I digress from matters of consequence.  More rain means more flowers in the “prairie” and gardens.  The tomatoes are finally tomato-ing.  Totally unrelated but just as shiny, here is a new lava lamp to replace the one that died.  I know, not a necessity, but essential for atmosphere!  It’s a mental health lava lamp.
