Speaking of Brazil ... Himself has declared that, in addition to confederate monuments, he and his will be defending the Christ the Redeemer statue. Don't suppose he's aware it's in Brazil. On top of a mountain. Weighs something over 600 metric tonnes. Did I mention it's in BRAZIL?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Can we send him to Brazil to defend it in person? It's on top of a mountain so probably there's no wifi or cell service, right? What's the downside?

There was an article in today's paper about how, with the Columbus statues being brought down, no one seems interested in taking down D.C.'s ... possibly because almost no one knows it's there.

Why do you have to tell them, Consuela?
I'd also need to inform my employer if I did something like this since there are tax and healthcare coverage implications.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Welp, we're going back into lockdown over here. Not the whole country, just Melbourne. Australia had rolled back restrictions after new cases were brought under control and we spent three weeks without a fatality. But in Victoria the travel quarantine was botched. Anyone entering Australia is obliged to stay in hotel quarantine for 14 days. There was private security to maintain isolation. This is all a unique situation and I don't expect perfection or anything, but I'd think guards sleeping with people in quarantine would've been pretty clearly a dubious idea.
I got to run a D&D session for Ryan and some of his classmates last Sunday, first time in months. It'll be another six weeks to the next one now.

Welp, we're going back into lockdown over here.
High five, bt! ... well, we started partial lockdown here, I'm willing to bet it'll be a full lockdown comes next week. We officially "cannot control the chain of infection" anymore since last week, so looks like lockdown it is. I'm sorry about the D&D sessions.
And congrats, Laura!
