Days 248-254- Did History Teach Us Nothing?

 PSA~ Covid is dangerous.  We don't know the long term impacts.  Our hospitals and ICUs are filling up again and if you get sick, there might not be a bed for you.  

I feel like we learned nothing in the spring.  How could we have if we find ourselves in this position again, as a state and as a country?  Cases are surging and some states are hitting the reset button.  It's frustrating to see the behavior of some people acting like it isn't a big deal.  Even if you aren't concerned about catching Covid, you should be responsible with your behaviors as a sign of respect for doctors, nurses, first responders, grocery workers, and teachers who are putting themselves in harms way.  We have to follow some very basic public health protocols in order to get to the other side of this.  We can't expect things to be "normal" because there is nothing normal about this current situation.  Maybe this year you don't do the big Thanksgiving with family and friends.  I'm sure that's disappointing, but maybe a small gathering or a day to yourself is enough for this year.  

Not much happened this week, because JO and I are choosing to lock things down due to rising case numbers.  We spent most of the time watching Joe Biden win the election for the upteenth time.

Rudy's hair dye situation gave us a good laugh.

We did watch a Mark Erelli livestream.  As usual, he was amazing to watch.

We found out we get to be cardboard cutouts at Gampel Arena this year.  I'm pretty excited about that.

On Saturday, the weather was beautiful and we decided to have lunch outside at Remnant Brewing.  There were only two parties on the patio, including us, so it felt nice and safe.  Remnant has a great system to ensure safety.  It was nice to sit in the sun, eat a Hotbox Pizza, and just relax.

Later that night, we hosted a Zoomsgiving for our friends.  Normally we host everyone at our house for a Thanksgiving feast but that wasn't a smart choice this year so we moved it online and turned it into a cocktail hour!  It gave us a chance to catch up with some of friends who have moved to the West Coast, which was really nice.
