I had to pick up a couple of prescriptions today. I usually use the drive-thru but there were

about 8 cars in line so I decided to go into the pharmacy. My pharmacy is in a Sparrow Hospital medical building; the pharmacy entrance is right inside the front door. Before I could go anywhere inside, I had to stop at a table to use hand sanitizer, answer health questions, make sure I was masked, and they took my temperature. They had masks available for folks needing one. Anyone with a vent on their mask had to cover it with another surgical mask. Of course, the floor was marked every 6 feet so people standing in line can maintain the proper distance. I was the only customer inside. This is also a testing center, so I appreciated their thoroughness.

It makes me despise those covidiots even more.

4. Wow. And you have all that going for you? Also, the Gov has a 71% approval rate.

While the protesters literally lock things down in the capital. It is all so ironic.

6. Yeah, it's nuts. Mother Nature helped us out yesterday, though. Their lame "protest" fizzled out

after about 90 minutes because we had a line of thunderstorms and torrential rain that seemed to park itself over Lansing just about the time they were gathering. I live about two miles from the Capitol and there were some mighty close lightning strikes. I was watching a live feed from a local television station and every time lightning would flash and thunder would crack, they'd flinch and more of them would slink away. We got about 2" of rain in that time. It was great.

9. Just tell them that even God disapproves of their insanity.

But if God really did, there would be an abundance of pillars of salt in the U.S.

But if there was to be that much salt in the US, it could raise the blood pressures of those of us who are sane ... and I don't think God would want that.

like this story you passed along to us. I'd like to think the majority of us are like this, happy to see that others do in fact care about all of us, and are doing their part. How amazing.

7. I envy you. That's the only new normal I would ever be comfortable with.

I seriously doubt I'll see it in my little town, however. I am happy to know you are staying safe.

You bet I do. I can now tell the people I will or will not call for repairs such as plumbing, electricity, yard work etc. I learned years ago that people who think the rules are for other people are just selfish and stupid. I was poisoned by the bolts of fabric I bought from a warehouse and it changed my life forever. The bolts of fabric were shipped in pesticide containers. The workers in the warehouse were sickened and the owner lost the business. This all because of selfish, stupid decisions.

And so it will be with the many who refuse to follow the safety rules that save people's lives. They do not care for other people at all.
