that's my big brother.
Nice!
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
Way to go, Consuela's brother!
So the Pentagon apparently released video of UFOs today. In this timeline it makes perfect sense, I guess.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: my father will be SO HAPPY. He's like that meme of the History Channel "Aliens" dude. So many conversations with my dad somehow end up with him talking about aliens.

Ooh, I would love being described as "globe trotting"! :)
My sister and BIL have bought a 50lb bag of King Arthur flour and a pound of yeast. They are READY. I wish they were nearby, I would so drive there and beg for food.

We had a Wegmans delivery today, which included real Italian bread, which felt absolutely decadent at this point. I realized I had heavy cream leftover from a recipe. So, I made a pink vodka sauce for dinner with bacon and spinach over penne. ltc complained vehemently, but she wanted the bread. So, she ate it.

sj, that sounds really tasty!
Me, I'm holding out on not going to the store, because I still have some brussel sprouts in the fridge. So brussel sprouts and maybe a frozen bratwurst for dinner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If any of y'all read an article today about the use of heartburn medicine being studied to treat coronavirus, and it mentioned a "globe-trotting infectious disease doctor" who brought it to the attention of public health officials in the US -- well, that's my big brother.
Oh wow!
I had taken chili out of the freezer but didn't feel like eating it, so I had a quesadilla. Meh!
I really want someone else to make me something with lots of ingredients. Right now I am thinking specifically about a cocktail and a sandwich, but kind of anything.

Ok so ... there is no way to social distance and try to get a department store ready for the public (only the managers, 10 people) have been working and doing everything that needs to be done so it's a lot of boxes from shipments that have been opened for access because that is all they can do). Especiallly when everyone leaves at the same time down a narrow halloway
AND When people are hugging each other and taking selfies together and will not stay away. People are going to come to the store and be shocked- all fitting rooms are closed. No one can try on anything in the store at all (no shoes, no button down shirt over your t shirt, nothing). All seating will be removed. There will be 2 places to do returns. There will be one person per register and no one will be allowed to step in and help if there is a line.
I'm expecting complaints, I'm expecting people who want to browse and try on and I'm expecting customers will stand and chat when they see their friends and hug them and not social distance and then the virus will spread and we will be furloughed again.
McMasters did extend work or home for another 15 days though (the longest he can extend a state of emergency)
