I look more rad than Lutheranism

But also, fomite transmission is not a thing with this virus

That was a big part of my there-is-no-point-to-pooping-in-the-yard discussion I had with my mom. Though the problem is my stepdad, not my mom. He's a very smart man, but he's reacting out of fear, and that's a hard thing to get past.

But I would stop licking doorknobs if it meant I didn't have to poop in the yard.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If you're watching the convention, tell me how Biden's speech goes. I'm too nervous to watch.

One of my friends just texted me "Biden is [3 fire emojis]," because I'm not watching, either. So -- 3 fire emojis seems pretty good.

Fingers crossed.

Twitter seems pretty impressed.

What is even happening?

The peeing in the bathroom wouldn't be a problem. The pooping is (possibly) a problem, because the virus has been found in feces, and the theory is that flushing can aerosolize it.

So, I wouldn't make someone pee in my yard, because what's the point. I wouldn't make someone poop in my yard, because OMG.

I would ask them to spray Lysol before and after, and to close the lid before flushing, and I'd ask them to open the window. Okay, I'd want to. I probably wouldn't.

Shut up. I'm not in Howard Hughest territory, Teppy. My nails aren't nearly long enough.

Cindy, I solemnly swear that I will never poop in your yard.

Damn straight. You can go to the yard of the lady behind us, who wouldn't let us get a pool when the kids were little.

(Per our town zoning, pools have to be behind the line of the house. We have a double lot, so all of our yard is really side yard. The lady is a nasty baggage. We couldn't get a variance, because we knew she'd fight it, and if any of your abutters don't approve the variance, you won't get it.)

The Biden speech was really pretty good. My brother liked the promise for a mask mandate. Lots of stuff about being the light against the darkness.

He's not my perfect candidate, but he's electable if we can get people to the polls (or to the post office). And he'll listen to people pushing him left.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

When we had an outside friend use our potty I walked ahead with a Lysol wipe (hit anything her hands and butt would hit) and she walked out with a Lysol wipe.
