| Jacaranda and Magnolia Were None Too Pleased With Thursday's Thunderstorm (Taken 9.10.21) |
I always try to get my post out before midnight, but today was a big news day. Biden laid out his new plan for COVID-19, LA Unified voted to mandate vaccines for eligible students, the Biden Administration had to withdraw the nominee to run the ATF because the gun lobby has America under its knee, and of course, there was a crazy rando thunderstorm and we actually got rain here in Normal Heights. Dagmar from NBC said there were over 180 cloud to ground lightning strikes. It's been so nice to finally have all the windows open again since Darren finally had a chance to reinforce the windows.
Besides that, I did nothing, I went nowhere, and am looking forward to a weekend of the same. County numbers are coming down and it's looking better, but I'm still gonna kinda wait and see what happens post-Labor Day.
Polls are looking good for Governor Gavin Newsom right now, but I don't trust polls so make sure you return your ballot and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Stay safe out there.
