Arizona never had a mask mandate. Our governor refused to allow local governments to require masks until our numbers were out of control last summer. After he finally decided to allow local governments to make their own decisions, our numbers went way down. He recently signed an executive order saying local governments can no longer require masks.
From what I've seen, people still wear them when going into stores because the stores require them. But I still don't go into stores often.
I will be glad to get a haircut. I haven't had a haircut in over a year. But that will be a while yet.
This morning, my friend Carol is headed into surgery as they try again to give her an artificial hip. I hope this time everything goes well.
Super duper tech magician Joshie is coming over to help me in about an hour! This is a big relief.

Speaking of visits, DR ChasSmith, when would you like to stop by for my book donation?
That's lovely, DR ChasSmith.
And on a completely different note, or maybe not...
OH MY GOD. That's a relief.
Why did all of that happen in the first place?
Did they put you through this when you made your original claims?
Good morning.
Leonard decided I should get up at 4 a.m.
Today the landscapers are going to plant the replacement shrubs at the church. I have to have the plants there at 6:30 a.m. Maybe Leonard heard me talking about that and decided to help make sure I'm up on time.

Back when THE FIRM was coming out, the John Grisham books seemed to be all the rage as great "airplane reading" because they got you into the story and moved quickly, and of course there's always something compelling about legal goings-on -- as long as they're someone else's legal goings-on. And at the time, I was doing a fair amount of traveling for business, so I was the perfect target for these fast reads. (My other true favorites, though, were the lengthy Robert Ludlum novels, which I look forward to returning to sometime.)
So I had read THE FIRM, along with PELICAN BRIEF and a couple of other titles that escape me at the moment. And I remember liking the movie, but I also have a nagging memory that I felt I had been held in greater suspense while reading the book. But that often happens when film adaptations have to leave out detail that feeds the reader but not the viewer. Anyway, seeing the film in recent years, I've had an even greater appreciation for it. And yes, wonderful casting. I see this now and always wish Wilford Brimley had done more serious or bad-guy roles.

I liked the movie of The Firm better than the book. In the book, the attorney’s adultery isn’t caught and it ends with a “what a clever little boy I am” smugness that made me hate it. It was so repulsive to me that I flung the book across the room in disgust. I also threw the book away instead of donating it, because I really didn’t want anyone to read it again.
I did get some bad news this morning. Sandy Winokur, who owned an olive orchard south of town and invited me out for several Easters and Thanksgivings, died a couple of weeks ago. She had had several bouts of cancer. And I wonder if the stress from the freeze and snow got to her.
I bought my olive tree from her. Yesterday I was terribly afraid it died in the polar vortex, but I actually found a few new leaves yesterday. A genuine sign of resurrection.
This whole ID.me experience yesterday completely ate up my day and possibly today as well. As DR Jeanne pointed out, the damned site assumes everyone's a technical wizard, and there's little a nearly complete computer incompetent can do about it. Thanks to my neighbor Jen I got good photos of my drivers license and passport, but I completely crashed and burned trying to take a selfie. Once kitty cleanup is finished, I will log on and see what further stroke-inducing requirements and hoops I must suffer and jump through.

I’m passionate about books that way.
They we’re ok too

The disheartening news is that he had the J&J vaccine a month ago
That's lovely, DR ChasSmith.

I just received this email:

So glad this megillah is over!

DR George, oh oh.
We also recently heard about someone who'd been vaccinated who tested positive for it several weeks later.
It's indeed disheartening to hear that, but I was reminded that it doesn't mean you won't get it, period. Just as with flu shots, it means you have the best chance of not getting it badly. At any rate, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

Do you know which vaccination they had? I think people have tested positive for covid with all of the vaccinations. It was expected to happen.
Last night I tried to watch the Royal Shakespeare Company in The Winter's Tale. I couldn't stand the voice of the actress playing Hermione and, while I've liked Anthony Sher in some things and I loved his book about playing Richard III, I just wanted to scream at him CLEAR YOUR DAMNED THROAT! I may stop watching it and go back to hte BBC Shakespeare version from 1981 or so.
I hope DR LAURA got everything in the ground today.
This morning, my friend Carol is headed into surgery as they try again to give her an artificial hip. I hope this time everything goes well.
Today he called to say he tested positive and to ask us to get tested
I forgot to mention that we watched episode 1 of Atlantic Crossing on PBS last night, and found it quite gripping.

Back from Gelson's and picking up some mail, including a refund from SoCal Gas from 2017 that I'd never gotten. That'll buy me three meals.

I mean, cages for the plants to keep the rabbits out. But I'm sure you knew that.
I wish DRs TCB, elmore3003, and Jeanne could get in to see their doctors sooner than the system seems to move.
I got a thumb's up from Carol, but no further message. She's got to be tired.
DR Jeanne this link might be a bit more helpful..

I found the link because I was curious why someone I figured had direct deposit with the IRS would get a debit card.

Thanks, Jane. An article like that should have been included with our cards. I never even thought about the fees.
I found the link because I was curious why someone I figured had direct deposit with the IRS would get a debit card.
My last two stimulus checks came Direct Deposit. I have no idea why this one didn't. It would have been much easier for me.
I was in tears at the end of episode 2.
It's cute, DR Jane.

There was an article just recently about 12 people, I think, in Washington state who were fully vaccinated, yet still got it. Wasn't that something you posted, George?
Bought a pot of canary yellow calla lilies today. Now I have to see how to treat them in Texas.

Will there be photos once they are planted?
They are planted. Don't know how to upload a photo straight to this site.

They're in a pot, not in the ground.
So, a ticket from San Antonio to Seattle is $105-$109 each way. When should I visit?
Today I received my stimulus "check." Instead of a paper check I received a debit card. What the hell do I do with this thing? Many low-income people do not have bank accounts, so this would be helpful to them. I can use it in stores or online, they say, but I'd much rather it go into my checking account. Gawd! I'll have to contact my incompetent bank and ask if there's some way to get the funds into my account. Another example of technology being used to make things more difficult, instead of easier. It's humans making these decisions.

Jeanne, you may not remember, but a whole bunch of people in the Pacific Northwet, including myself, my sister, my brother-in-law, and several of my friends, received debit cards instead of direct deposits. It made no sense, because we had all received direct deposits of our first stimulus checks (and the third). It turned out to be no big deal. You just take it to your bank and they transfer it to your account, no fees, no hassles.
