Yep. I understand why they went ahead with it, because the bikers were going to show up whether anybody liked it or not, and if they weren't prepared for them it would have been a disaster.
They aren't letting anybody in. They have a roadblock and will only let you drive through if you promise not to stop anywhere on the rez. They've had the roadblocks up for months.

Wow! that is one good looking cactus. How many years did it take to get this big?

Took several years to take off but now it seems like it gets another arm every couple years.

I have had heavy duty reusable bags, all insulated, that I use all the time for the last 10 years or more, ever since California first proposed to get rid of plastic grocery bags. If they get messy I turn them inside out, scrub the inside, rinse them thoroughly and hang them up to dry. I just have to bag my groceries myself, the checkers, or baggers if they have them, are not allowed to touch them which is fine with me. No big deal, I don't want any more plastic in my house than I absolutely have to and they don't have paper bags here but at Trader Joe's. I even bring my produce bags back and put my produce in those. If we all did that we would save Mother Earth before she is terminal, I do my part, how about you?

Yes, the ban was lifted last month but wasn't really made well known through local media. At least, I never heard of the lifted ban until I Googled it just now:
Confusion in stores as state lifts order that banned reusable grocery bags
The state has rescinded its order from the height of Massachusetts’s COVID-19 surge that prohibited the use of reusable bags and allowed cities and towns that had banned single-use plastic […]

I’ve used reusable bags for groceries for years, but I bought these reusable mesh produce bags at the beginning of the year and absolutely love them. No more plastic bags for fruit and lettuce!

A few years ago people were getting sick because they weren’t washing their reusable bags. I don’t see why washing them now should be any harder.
I liked some collapsible crates I saw once but I didn’t get around to purchasing any.
School starts Monday. Instead of setting up our space and books I spotted DH while he cut down our damaged tree himself. I didn’t want him out there and up a tree with a chainsaw alone. He did get the tree down safely. DD and I helped make piles ofb the branches; but clean is going to take a while. The yard already looks so weird without that tree. Even after losing 2 sections over a few weeks.

Harvey somehow managed to open a capped bottle filled with $30 worth of treats and ate every last piece. I'm thinking he needs to be caged at night and when no one is around. He just started getting access to the rest of the house and all he's been doing is going through the garbage, knocking down things, and stealing food.

Ouch, $30 of treats in one go is a painful loss, but I have to admit that's pretty clever of Harvey!
He is a love!!! His tongue looks so sweet sticking out!Zeke does not seem to mind that he's missing a couple things. He's acting as normal as ever. Although perhaps a few of the teeth he lost were the ones he used to keep his tongue in before, lol!

Vet still hasn't called back about the x-ray results. Told me next day and when I called since I hadn't heard anything, he told me next day again and that it is unusual for it to not be next day. I've tried being patient, but it has been over 4 days now and I sent a message today through their website as they closed early yesterday. Won't hear back until Monday as they are closed Sunday. Like, since they haven't heard back, have they even checked to ensure the radiologist even received the x-ray??? I'm worried about Persia and want to start medication as soon as possible, if she does have asthma. My previous vet believes Isabelle has scaring in her lungs due to a delay of getting on the correct medication, and I'm worried the same thing will happen with Persia if this keeps getting put off. She's coughed multiple times this week and last night seemed like the coughing had been rougher and it was harder for her to cough. 
Trying to decide if I should do surveys or watch more Pluto TV. On the one hand I"m tired from earning all the time but on the other hand the cats will need food by Tuesday at the latest.
Ack just realized that I have my writing class to do. It's 4 days in. My google and Microsoft calendar failed me. I'm not going to work on my One Riddle Man I plan to finish this year but rather I may try my hand at a children's story about the cats. The missing cats will be out on some quest or mission. And since the cats won't sue me I'll just use the names I already gave them.

By that I mean I'm not using One Riddle Man for the course. I want to try the idea of a children's story around the cats only during the writing course. I still plan on finishing One Riddle Man during NaNoWriMo in November though.
Here we go again. My mom just got discharged from a senior care center on Thursday, after her second hospitalization and rehab stay since March. In March it was Crohns, last month C-Diff infection, and yesterday she was admitted for congestive heart failure, something she was hospitalized for two years ago. She refuses to move permanently to a nursing home but really really needs to be in one. It’s exhausting.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. We had a similar situation with both my husband's mother and my father. Plus you have the virus complicating everything and raising the stress—and danger—level. Come here and scream whenever you need to.
My mother, bless her heart, begged me to move her to a retirement home after Dad died which we did. It was a tremendous gift she gave us.

the best way to get your dream home is to build it yourself, as we did with our houses

if the bags do not touch the conveyor, this is the same as the ban on reusable clothes ... anyway, one of us is waiting for the other at the exit with our backpacks ... and the second of us is using the shopping cart ...

Well considering I don't make the rules for my stores I can't just defy them and walk inside with a reusable bag when they have signs not to.
