Growing Nationwide Protests

There were growing protests all over the country including Denver and right here in LA yesterday.  The natives are getting restless.  They opened the beaches in Jacksonville and are thinking of opening them in Georgia and in South Carolina.   People are demanding churches be reopened.  The health authorities are concerned that the country will be reopened too early and we will get a second spike in the pandemic.   They had a couple of mass shootings in the news not virus related.   It was almost a relief to hear a non-virus related story.  I’m just hoping to get out to the bank this week.  I tried to call and get my account status yesterday but after confirming I’m not Spanish there was a break and a voice said that the Chase site was down and to call during business hours, at least I think that was the message.

.  Mike Pence was on Meet the Press along with the Democratic governor of Michigan and the Republican governor of Ohio on this issue of relaxing the rules.  In Ventura county they have opened up the beaches though it’s heavily patrolled by the cops to insure no crowding.  The parking lots and the restrooms remained closed.  Some parks are open.  President Trump wants to “liberate” the states of Michigan, Minisota, and Virginia by encouraging the protests that were going on in those states.  Many of the things Mike Pence said didn’t make sense but I’m not going to argue with him.  I went out for my next to the last cigarette.  I was again fighting drowsiness toward nine o clock.

One of these days I'm going to do a virus free blogpost where I talk about something entirely non virus related like politics.  That and the NBA playoffs are the things we're supposed to be talking about now.  The NBA playoffs would have stared last weekend if these were normal times.   In politics the beginning of the eng came about the start of March when five candidates,  Tom Stire,  Mike Bloomberg, Elizabeth Warren,  Budagieg and Amy Clovichar all withdrew within a week of each other pretty much ending the race for President.  There seemed less a conspiracy to give it to Joe Biden than there was just to "end" the primary season alltogether. 

.  This is Sunday April 19, 2020 and the Mc Cartney album was released Friday April tenth and not today as Chris Carter stated.  This morning I got up at a quarter after four and took a shower partially because this room was cold but the window was only cracked open a little and not a lot.  I wanted coffee.  I got my chance an hour or so later when I was down for my next cigarette.  Chris invited me up to Rose’s room to get my own spoonful of instant coffee from a jar that was pretty low.  Eventually I turned on KNX radio.  I had that on till nearly breakfast.  I went down at five to seven and looked around the dining room and already the room was filled.  I went in at seven thirty.  I got my corn flakes and then two pieces of French toast and syrup and butter and then I got my coffee.
