Yep! It's quiet. Hell, we don't even have as many airplanes flying over as we used to have! I used to take the dog out at night and see at least 3 or 4 airplanes taking folks to or from California. Now if I see 1 it is unusual. What a change. We are still going out to lunch quite often. Yesterday the waitress had to ask two guys to go find masks because they thought they didn't need to wear them. Today we saw a woman who pulled her shirt up to use as a mask. People are just so dumb. The place we visited today was closed for a couple weeks. It turns out that the owner, who is also the chef, came down with the virus and had to be hospitalized. Of course the whole staff had to be tested and all that stuff took a couple weeks. Happily the owner is doing better but he is still using a walker to get around and, of course, hasn't returned to work.
My birthday is coming up and my drivers license expires on that day. Since I'm so ancient I have to have as optometrist testify as to my eye sight and a doctor testify that I don't have any medical conditions that would make it unsafe for me to drive. What a pain in the ass! But, what the heck, it might keep one of two idiots off the road. Anyway, the doctor has a new assistant and she had a greeting for me.
I thought it was cute even if it's a little strange.
We like to take our walk early when it is so warm. It's about 2:30 in the afternoon and it is 102F (39C) now. Believe me, walking at 06:00 when it is only 75F (24C) or so is a lot more pleasant! And you get to see the sunrise!
One of the advantages of living here in the valley is that we get to see the sun move as the seasons progress. On June 21 the sun would be nearly to the far left in the photo above. By December 21 it will be fairly close to the right edge. We've never lived anywhere before where the changes were so visible to us. It's pretty cool!
Well, that's it for today. Have a good one and be safe.
