Black Lives Matter Plaza

/ Paul / Leave a comment

There have been a lot of protests lately. More and more people are joining the marches/protests. And there are more and more police and looks like military out there trying to control them. Today I went on a walk with my friend Lynn. We walked down to Black Lives Matter Plaza. We then walked over to Lafayette Park and saw the huge fences up around the park and around the White House. You can’t get anywhere close to the White House and you can’t go into the park at all. It was a little scary walking around seeing the protests and seeing all the signs up. I was glad I was able to get down there and see it and experience it.

Vacation

We got home today from a small vacation. We had to cancel our trip to California because the wineries out there are all closed because of the pandemic. I lost money on it but that’s life. Instead we went to Charlottesville to visit wineries for a few days. We stayed at the little cottage we stayed at last year. We visited lots of wineries and experienced the different ways they are doing tastings now that they can’t have you inside the wineries. We experienced lots of different tastings. We had a good time on the vacation. We did a good job of avoiding people and having as little contact with others as was possible.

There were 50,273 new cases today. This is just crazy! When will this thing end?

Thank You Dr. Fauci

I’m walking 2 to 3 miles a day now. I’m walking in the neighborhood across from our building. People who live there are trying to show Dr. Fauci how much we appreciate him. Trump has been ruining his reputation and not believing in science. Trump is an idiot. Dr. Fauci is doing the right thing and using science. I love seeing these signs in the yards that I walk by while on my walks.

Haircut

The hair salons have opened up again finally. I haven’t had a professional haircut for a good four or five months. I can’t remember the last time I was in the shop. Now they have some safety protocols in place when you go in. First you have to wait outside for someone to come out and take your temperature. Then you can go in and fill out the form that says you haven’t been exposed to COVID or experienced any symptoms. And of course you have to wear a mask the whole time you are in there. I am totally fine with all these restrictions because I know if I get it, I’ll die. There was a little more than 18,000 cases reported today. That number keeps going down. Let’s hope it continues to go down!

More Protests

This evening we went to dinner at Silver. While eating, a group of protesters started a protest across the street from the restaurant. They were very peaceful and didn’t stop cars or get in the road. They waived their signs and shouted their words and were fine.

I wore a new mask today. I’m not sure I like the fit and the little air holes on the sides. I think they could let the virus in. I’ll have to do some research about this kind. Also we have started seeing these menu signs. You have to pull the menu up on your phone. They are no longer handing out menus because of the virus. There are lots of adaptations to life with this virus.
