Oooh, I had to read that a couple times before I realized you were talking about fire and not eviction.

Our wings are not tired.
It's good that you have that option, Consuela. Breathing clean air is mighty pleasant.

Oh, ha, chrismg, I see what you mean. Did not mean to be cryptic, it was very obvious in my head!

My stepdad has jumped the shark, and I need to get this story out of my head (feel free to laugh, point in horror, or both):
My brother and sister-in-law are in town, and getting to see them is obviously different than in all previous visits b/c of Covid. My mom and stepdad are exceedingly cautious about coronavirus, and my stepdad seems to be crossing into Howard Hughes territory. My mom told me that my brother went to their house the other day, they visited outside on the porch with appropriate social distancing, all good. My brother went inside to use the bathroom before he left.
My stepdad told my mom -- he was 100% serious -- that the risk of contagion was too great and she should have made my brother pee in the backyard.
I was actually speechless at that. He's lost his fucking mind. (Which doesn't even get into the fact that someone using a bathroom is not a disease vector for Covid. It's bad science. BUT ALSO FUCKING INSANE.) I understand being cautious. But use the actual science that we know about coronavirus to inform your level of caution. Don't make guests shit in your yard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As for the political news, a rumor flew around that Curt Schilling had been arrested too, which would have been-- ::chef's kiss:: But apparently it wasn't true: he would have been named in the indictment (which I read), and he wasn't.
I saw that rumor and was very disappointed when they didn't mention him on the nightly news just now.
