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....which is the Sturgis, South Dakota motocycle rally, held every year, rain shine hail tornado or pandemic.
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.Some tribes aren't letting riders drive through their lands because of Covid concerns.
Wow! that is one good looking cactus. How many years did it take to get this big?When my youngest was little he found the cactus growing wild in an outside planter and wanted to keep it. I never thought it would grow to look like this now. View attachment 347018View attachment 347019
Took several years to take off but now it seems like it gets another arm every couple years.Wow! that is one good looking cactus. How many years did it take to get this big?
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?To be fair, clothing doesn't go on the conveyor belt, the bagger doesn't have to touch it, etc. I can see why they'd want to avoid reusable bags right now.
I know Walmart asked people not to use them for a while but I don't know if that's still in effect or not.
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!

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.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.
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.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.
Thank you. It is really stressful.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.
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 ...Here we get sent back to our car if we try to enter any of the stores with reusable bags including Aldi or Save A Lot. I don't know about Walmart because frankly I don't like Walmart that much.
Not getting anything done here. Binging on Classic Doctor Who on Pluto TV. Trying to occupy my mind til they get this blasted tooth out of my mouth.
