I had to open the article to see what the protesters meant.
"Anti-Vaxxers Shout ‘Stop Segregation’ Outside Fully Vaxxed Bruce Springsteen Show

Oh goodness.  They feel oppressed as they are not permitted into the theater unless they have been vaccinated  ::)

Loved this comment from Peter Marks' review in the Washington Post:

His curation includes one of the key requirements for admission: a vaccination card. “It’s great,” he remarks. “Unmasked, sitting next to each other.” Bizarrely, theatergoers were greeted outside the St. James by a cadre of screaming, placard-waving anti-vaccination protesters, who feel aggrieved by the fact that the government wants to save their lives. Their rage is a bewildering counterpoint to the joy inside the theater at the freedoms the vaccines have given back to us. The demonstration is as out-of-touch as “Springsteen on Broadway” feels in-touch.

I'm up, I'm up - eleven hours of sleep, which I guess I needed.

And NOW, it's already up to 98.1°!!  Those are both higher than my normal body temperature, which is usually around 96.5°!

I don't know who can see this.  I took it off of former DR Ann's FB page.

Yup!  I've had two 16-ounce bottles of water already.

Summergeddon 2021. Day 1, 1700: It can’t be ignored any longer; Tacoma will soon be a smoldering wasteland.

The sunburnt masses venture out only to scour the city for fans and A/C units. Roadways will surely become unusable as tires begin to melt in the relentless heat.

Irritating reports are trickling in of California transplants shuffling around the sidewalks of downtown going, “What’s the big deal bruh? It’s Summmm-errr…”

Of course, people could just be driving around because their cars have AC when their houses don't.  That's my situation.

I remember doing that, as well as spending hours in the market.  I would also go to malls to walk around though in the severe East Coast summers they often weren't all that refreshing.

The hot humid summer in New Jersey that I was pregnant with Craig I took Bryan to Dairy Queen for dinner.  The AC was broken and it was hotter there than at home.  Bryan was so happy to be eating there I couldn't leave.  He was fine while I feared I would pass out.

My friend in Port Angeles with three hot Bernese Mt Dogs posted this on FB.

102 outside, 86 in the house, 70 in the RV with the A/C going, we are taking an afternoon siesta in the RV

The dogs looks much happier than in an earlier photo taken inside the house, even in front of a fan.

Yikes!  I remember going to the local Dairy Queen a couple of times during the winter and it was still air conditioned...VERY cold!  I need to take a shower now and leave to usher, so maybe I'll stop there for a quick bite. 

Until later.

And movie theaters. No wonder F9 made $70 million this weekend.

I would really like ice cream today, but it's my fourth day of not actively eating sugar. There might have been some sugar in the Thai food I had for lunch, but I asked for it without. And there was a trace in the popcorn chip I had last night.

No sugar in the dinner I just made of roast lamb, tomato salad with shallots and basil from the garden, and leftover rice warmed in butter.

I was going to watch Midnight Cowboy, but the player wouldn't accept the disc.

So, it's Nothing in Common.
