Because of COVID, we are voting absentee ballot. Today we filled out our ballots and took them to the ballot box at the police station. It felt so good to vote for Joe Biden. I just know he’s going to win. We need someone like him….the opposite of Trump. It’s been a crazy campaign. The first debate was a disaster. I’ve got my fingers crossed.
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.
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.
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.
There have been a lot of protests lately for the Black Lives Matter movement. We didn’t think we’d see much of it happening in our area. However, we went out to dinner this evening (sitting outside because of the pandemic) and saw some damage at our local CVS. We didn’t see any protests, just the aftermath of it. I guess they boarded up in anticipation of the protests. It’s a little scary to think this is happening in our area and during a pandemic.
