I read some opinion piece or article or I don't know where the writer said it seems like Trump was trying to do in Iran what he did in Venezuela and put in someone friendly to him. . Or friendlier. I'm not sure. I honestly am not sure there is much of a plan in ace for anything.

Oh and I guess yesterday Trump made some comment about having a friendly take over of Cuba..

The measles outbreak in SC hit 985. People were exposed at the Costco in Spartanburg County.

Spartanburg County is the epicenter of the outbreak. There are 928 cases. The vaccination rate is around 90% and the first big outbreak is traced to a charter school where less than 20% of the students were fully vaccinated. And SC doesn't require hospitals to report measles cases so no one knows exactly how many people have been hospitalized

Nothing really interesting is happening in my life. Worked turned stressful because Regional managers have been here (the hierarchy is Store-Market-Regonal). And either market or regional has made us change how we do certain things that contradicts how the rest of the company does them. And two of the best overnight people are on leave and so overnight is barely getting anything done and during the day we are barely playing catch-up.

E is doing well in school. He said most of his classes are boring except Ceramics. He is also in the Spring musical , he was Lurch when they did The Addams Family and this spring they are doing Suesical and he is the Grinch and two or three other characters. This from a kid who hated getting in front of people in elementary school.

He also showed me the DnD figs he has been painting . One of them he did in art class. I didn't get the story of how that happened. He is a junior . I can't believe it!

Just talked with Nilly. She and her family are OK as well.

Thanks for the update, Shir. You are in our thoughts and hearts.

Thank you for the update, Shir. May all of you stay safe.

Thank you, Shir. Echoing what Hec and Atropa said.

Wishing safety your way as well, Shir.

Shir. I'm glad you and Nilly are safe. I hope you stay that way..

Thanks for the update Shir—I hope you stay safe and this stupidity ends soon. Sigh.

Yes. this. Years of watching "Deadwood" also prepared me for massive, old-timey swearing. Something is making my throat tickle and I'm coughing a little today...it's hot here and the air quality isn't great. Kind of reminds me of the thing Mon had, but I think it's been long enough(and she was having an allergy--long story-- but I don't think I can catch it.)

Shir, sending you and yours all the stay-safe vibes.

Aging is ROUGH and I just feel betrayed by my body.

Last night Grace took me to see Brandi Carlile. I was surprised at the age of the crowd. I asked Grace if she thought I was the same age as most of the attendees (for God's sake Jane Fonda was there!) and she just looked at me with her wobbly eye (that occurs when she doesn't want to do something wrong) and said, No comment. Sigh. Am old.
