Just read the latest from LA County - 97% of the Delta variant cases are unvaccinated people. 98% or something like it of Covid cases ARE the Delta variant. I think this makes it perfectly clear who are putting people at risk.

Plus, their idea of a fish taco was bad fish topped with coleslaw. Why?

There was coleslaw on the side.

While I am not a fan of fish tacos, this sounds horrible

Ordered fish tacos tonight for dinner. It was based on a coupon received in the mail today. The woman who took my order had never heard of them.

That was your first clue they didn't know how to make them ;)

My set of the Malcolm Arnold symphonies arrived today. I found a very inexpensive copy from a UK seller.

Oh and I received a nice package from Kritzerland today with some items autographed by MR BK.

Cool!  I can't wait for my Indiegogo package! :D

Thanks for all the vibes. Apparently it went well. The DH was offered the job of interim music director/organist for a local church, and he has accepted, to start in September.

Congrats to your husband, Singdaw!

The candidate had some really good experience and seemed like she could learn things quickly.

But they are going ahead and checking the first (only) candidate's references and if they check out, they'll offer her the job!

She and her husband are moving from the northern part of the state to this area because her husband is starting a new job on September 1st.

So, if she accepts, then more than likely she could also start here on September 1, if not earlier.

I finally got to the three fish tacos. The stench of nasty fish was so bad that I almost vomited on the ground.

Oh, no! :P

I started reading my book, Project Hail Mary, and since I only had three chapters left, I finished it!
