    Went to the grocery store this morning. My partner and I more or less take turns. She went last week so I went this week. Shelves were more empty than normal, though I think that's due to the time of day and the fact that senior hours had just ended, where they only allow older folks in to stock up.

    Masks are required here now which is good, but still saw people with masks having one of the straps just hanging loose, or even one employee who had their mask pulled down.

    I dunno how we get back to normal from here. I'm bracing for this to be our normal for at least the year.

    Gov. Newsom Closes Orange County Beaches

    Gov. Newsom Closes Orange County Beaches

    While people socially distanced at most beaches this past weekend, there were beaches where there were problems, Newsom said — specifically calling out Orange County beaches. The governor announced that the state would be closing Orange County beaches, contrary to earlier reports that he was looking at closing all of the state's beaches.

    Went to trim my hair, it had been so long since the last time I did I grew a sideburn and estranged it.

      You estranged it? Like you cut your sideburns out of your will?

        No, he trimmed it, by estranged mean I just saw it in the mirror and felt kind of bothered by it. What is this, the beginning of a beard?
