FIVE!!!!!

[John G.]

Spencer Silver's name won't mean anything to most, but his invention will: Post-it Notes. He has died.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

[bk]

Back from storage organizing - much better - found one additional box of Nudie Blu-rays and then we'll have to repress it for the third time - we've sold 900 of these, which is amazing. I thought we had two or three boxes left but they were nowhere to be found, I'm afraid.

[bk]

We did get things much more organized. But my personal stuff is much more difficult, and I'll have to hire to guys to pull everything out of there to reorganize it and then I'll be able to check boxes.

[bk]

Then we went to Stanley's for dinner. Apparently, restaurants can now open at 100% because it was full up. And today the CDC said no more masks anywhere, inside or out, if you're fully vaccinated. So, no more masks for me.

[bk]

Finally got some Claritin-D - of course, they were out of the twenty-four hour pills - they always are - so I had to settle for the twelve-hour. The gal, when she saw me, went and got me a mask. I said, "Apparently you don't keep up with the news - no more masks, inside or out, according to the President of the United States and the CDC. She gave me a look, then went to her boss and asked him, and he said, "Yep, it's true." Her attitude continued, however, and other customers in the store had masks, but I am DONE with them.

Well, the CDC said no masks if you're vaccinated.  You are, so that's good, but it's not (supposed to be) just across the board no more masks.

[George]

And on another happy note (C-natural):  Washington's Governor Signs Bill To Ban Open Carry Of Guns On Capitol Grounds And Public Protests Statewide.

[George]

I just do not understand ANY open carry laws!  How are the police supposed to know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys in an emergency situation if EVERYONE has a gun??

[George]

Here's an interesting article from CNN:  America's unmasking brings liberation but also trepidation as huge questions loom.

[bk]

I don't understand what huge questions loom, frankly. Either the CDC is to be believed or it isn't. I'm fully vaccinated and am done wearing masks. With this new edict, no stores can refuse you service. I'll have my card with me but I am done. No one has to come near me and I tend not to ever hover around anyone.

[bk]

That article is, for me, fear mongering at its finest. No one is forcing people to not wear masks if that makes them more comfortable, but now no one can force those of us who are vaccinated to wear them if we're comfortable not wearing them.

[George]

I will probably still have to wear a mask at work for now, but we'll see what happens the next time I go to a store.

Condolences to BK on the loss of your friend.

[TCB]

I debated murdering her in the hall, then walked back to her, and she came to me. My legs were killing me so I did not get back in the floor. I grabbed her tail, picked her up by it, tossed her in the bag, and hustled to the elevator. She's now home and the leg I fell on is killing me

And this from the man who seriously considered getting a dog!

Anyway, here are the dates:

Does Rich direct all of the shows?

Anyway, here are the dates:

Does Rich direct all of the shows?

I don't think so, but I don't know.  He was and is going to direct Mamma Mia!, and originally pug was going to direct Cuckoo's Nest.  When they first just expected to postpone but still perform last year, pug couldn't direct it in the new time period.  I don't know if she'll direct next year's production.  She is the one who cast Cuckoo's Nest, so I would hope that she can still direct it...even if she didn't cast me.

Medical vibes to John G. and Jeanne!

[TCB]

President Biden just announced new CDC Guidelines.

Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks indoors OR outdoors!

Happy days are here again!

I am still wearing mine inside public stores, etc.

Me, too. Last year when things reopened people went crazy. I'm concerned that that will happen again. But the case counts are lower now, which gives us some measure of protection.

Unless I missed you decided to get vaccinated I expect you need to be extra diligent. 

The exception to our rule is in restaurants.  There is no way I would eat inside one without having been vaccinated. 

Jeanne did not get vaccinated?

They also said that businesses could still require masks and you have to comply, or leave.
