A day of mourning in Florida

[hay rick]

For those who hadn't heard, Governor DeSantis ordered American and Florida flags lowered today (Wednesday, February 24) to honor Rush Limbaugh.

The governor has also taken an interest in who gets covid vaccine shots. The current priority list looks something like this:

Donors
"Grateful" Counties
.

.
Y'all

.
the rest of Manatee County

1. I'm celebrating

Tomorrow is my 74th b day n I’m gonna get out of hibernation n go see some friends I haven’t seen since my last b day. Masks, of course, but I need some socializing. Thanks god I have my health n all my teeth! Except there is one in the back I’m concerned about but..Hey! All good. Have one for me...life is beautiful

2. I've got most of my teeth.

We buried my father without a filling in his mouth. I got my mom's teeth. The dentist is one thing I put on hiatus during the pandemic. I won't go in again until after I'm vaccinated. So far, the only way to get a shot in my area is to win the Publix lottery and I haven't been able to cash a ticket.

Happy birthday.

3. Hey!

Thank you for the b day wishes. Yep..my dentist visit is on hold, too. I’m fortunate b/c my area has had fluoride in the water since I was a kid. JUst backed off b/c of C-19.. We need to get back on schedule

4. Was there a funeral?

What did they do with the body? How can we be sure he's really dead?

5. A virtual celebration is planned, no date set.

Limbaugh's widow made the announcement. I think DeSantis pounced on it for today because he knew that most flags would be at half-staff anyway for the covid victims. Somebody may have convinced him that this is not his best moment.

I don't know or care what happens to Limbaugh's body. While I would happily urinate on his grave, I don't think I could hold it long enough to get to the front of THAT line.

Is he really dead? Smells like it to me, but I've been wrong before...

8. I'll take a bucket, bowl, sink, toilet, bed pan... I'm not picky.
