Also, the news from Salt Lake about the aftermath of the thunderstorms last night is breaking my heart: the parking structure at the main branch of the library flooded (two blocked floor drains AND an HVAC return duct collapsed, taking out a fire sprinkler line, so when 2nd East backed up . . . ) and there was about a foot of standing water in the lower levels, which is where the children's library is. In July of '17 the Sprague Library, near our old house, wound up with five feet of water in the basement when Parley's Creek went over its banks during a bad storm, and they just completed renovations in November of last year - the staff must have been beside themselves last night.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Our local library branch lost all 32,000 books in February when the sprinkler pipes burst in the snowpocalypse.
the bigger issue being how out of shape I am—I’d sweat less and breathe easier if I had moved my body during the pandemic!
Also a VERY real concern. Especially for Irish - it already made me breathe hard!
Oh, ouch, Amy & Dana! I feel a visceral pain at those stories!
I am excite! Water is going in my pool, both from mother nature and the pool fixer company. It is such a joy for me when I watch people doing things well. Crew of maybe 8 did the plastering and so forth. Worked together with speed and precision. Amazing to watch.

New job is keeping me really busy right now. Meanwhile, daughter's upcoming wedding keeps generating drama rooted in the whole pandemic thing.
Have you seen his version of "Sixteen Tons"? [link]
I'm really sorry about the wedding drama, Gud. Way too often what should be a joyous occasion is soured by people who care more about themselves than the couple.
Have you seen his version of "Sixteen Tons"?Yep, though unintentionally as youtube just kept going. It's really good.
Crap, my father has covid. Mild at the moment, and he told me not to worry, so of course I'm worrying.
Dana, see if his doctor can order monoclonal antibodies for him. They really help if he can get them early enough in his illness.
