Hi Daryl!

 BM> Hopefully fireworks and not gunfire.
 DS>   What was your first clue?? They're shooting them off again
 DS> here. Most of society now is selfish, and inconsiderate for the
 DS> welfare of others.

I don't know most: "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" and so a few get
all the news.  Those few can create a lot of damage and distress for the
others.  As for the fireworks, unless pretty much next door can't for- 
certain identify their location for the police to handle (at minimum a 
noise complaint); I nd;t know what I'd do in your situation.


 DS>   But, some who reopened early have had to close back down. :(
 BM> Unfortunately yes.  I don't think there have been any incidents like
 BM> that around here.  One downtown bar closed voluntarily because the
 BM> owner didn't want to be the potential cause of an outbreak.  (I'm not
 BM> sure if still closed.)  We've had a few places closed temporarily
 BM> because of a COVID-19 case appearing.
 DS>   Area Chick-Fil-A's don't have dining room seating, although you
 DS> can walk in, and place a "to go" order, or go through the drive
 DS> thru. Also, because of COVID-19, only ONE person is allowed in
 DS> the restroom at a time. All I can think of is the video in the
 DS> zoo, where the orangutang (sp?) is swinging and banging on the
 DS> door, and making horrid noises. The caption is "When you have to
 DS> go potty, and the person inside is taking their time". :P

<chuckle>  Sub-captions could be "don't wait until the last minute" and 
"plan ahead".



 BM> Yes, cooled off last night; highs for today and the weekend in the
 BM> upper 70's; start of next week in the low 70's.  Just might be opening
 BM> the windows -- as long as the humidity is low.
 DS>   The heat returns by late week, although isolated thunderstorms
 DS> are still possible.

The morning nes reported 53ø out there this morning!  That was at the
Quad City International Airport about 10 miles south of the house; the
Davenport Municipal Airport was reporting 57ø -- which was almost the 
'hot spot' on the regional map.  Supposed to warm up to the low- and 
mid-80's next week.


 BM> ... You were expecting still another smartaleck message here today?
 DS>   I tried that approach with my late wife, when I told her that
 DS> "my head is so far up my butt, that I can see my throat". Without
 DS> missing a beat, she quipped "That's why your eyes are brown". <G>

And the next lines are "wipe you tears".  "Those are tears."
