Oh, ha, chrismg, I see what you mean. Did not mean to be cryptic, it was very obvious in my head!
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

I mean, flushing the toilet is a time-honored tradition.

We have food year-round AND we flush the toilet whenever we want, like goddamn ROYALTY.

I keep seeing stories of colleges/universities where they have in-person classes and have to send everyone home because of infections.
I am interviewing student workers to work remotely. It is bizarro, but no one we interviewed is in the dorms, they are in nearby houses of five or so people just in case. I do tend to interview students junior and above.

I was not at all happy to let people use my bathroom when they were here for ltc's outdoor social distant birthday party, and I cleaned the hell out of it as soon as they all left.
