| Today is Nova's Last Day of being a 12 year old. Hello, teenager. |
I went to Costco this morning at 11am (still no TP) but I made a huge basketload of purchases. From there, I dropped our portion at home, then separated stuff to drop off with my parents, and then stopped to say hi to my sister...masked and more than 6 feet away, though I don't think I need to keep saying so. On my way back from Chula Vista, I looped by Harbor Freight (line too long) then Home Depot (line too long) and then ended up back at Costco Mission Valley. By that time is was 2:30 and there was no line!
So I got the dumb things I forgot earlier (cereal, hamburger buns, reading glasses) and decided to pick up some things for Nova's birthday. Not necessarily where I'd normally buy birthday gifts, but for her 13th birthday, she's getting a beach volleyball, a rainbow set of sharpies, some gardening gloves, and a new snorkeling set for when we can actually get back to La Jolla Cove safely. Anyway, I'm on the hunt for trash picker-upper things if anyone has a line on them. My cheap ones I got from Harbor Freight a few years ago are rusted and inadequate and we'd like to clean up the neighborhood while we're out walking. Today's links are after the jump.
- One thing that really struck me in today's briefings and news clips are that the claws are really unleashing between the parties in California. Newsom(D) said that the memo (I posted it last night) didn't come from him (which is true, it came from the Police Chiefs Association). It was claimed by Supervisor Cox(R) that Fletcher(D) spoke with Newsom and got him to specifically say it would just be OC(Mostly Red/Issa's Old District). Then the news reported that Newsom said he was never planning on closing but Faulconer(R) is saying they specifically got a call last night from Newsom's office (from the state Natural Resources Department), but then this morning got a second call to renege on that first call. Sounds like a bunch of he said, he said. But it's funny, because we really shouldn't forget this is all supposed to be our health and not overloading our health system. After all of that, here are the new rules, and modifications to past restrictions:
