Coffee happened. I don't know where I'd be without it.

The drive by protest was not over in our little town for over an hour.

As annoying as it is to have a parade of car horns at 6AM on a Sunday morning, I have to stand with this group's methods in addition to the gravity of the message. No one was burning things! Only shouts I heard were what was also written on most of the cars.

Now I generally HATE to hear a car horn in traffic. It is annoying, usually. So let us make annoying sounds to draw attention to something we want say.

I stood next to the street on the second pass a bit ago and I was nervous, I have to admit. I was also worried about how I might be seen, even as some of the neighbors began to walk to the street. Heavily bearded old white guys do not exude trust, to put it mildly. I decided to just wave with an open hand, universal sign of "no harm here."
About forty or so cars after I lost count and lots of damn noise.
But no one was throwing anything, nothing was being broken and no fire.

:clap:

We don't drink a lot of them, but, it's nice to have a cup when the mood hits for something with taste and a little extra kick.  Our normal go to black tea is a big box of Twinings English or Irish breakfast.  Tea is a nice comfort drink for me and Carla. 

Of course loose leaf Lapsang Souchong is the stuff that gets me going in the morning!   :roar:

As I was heading out on my daily walk and trash pickup of the side of the road.  I started to round the curve to go down the hill of our driveway, and saw a Fox crossing it.  Now Carla had told me she had seen it, so I wasn't surprised.  It looked healthy, most likely a young one on it's own and with that very bushy tail.  It saw me and ran off the way it was heading so it was good to see that it had a healthy wariness about it.  Might have established a den in our area, abundant critters for it to prey on, chipmunks, mice, moles, voles and insects ad birds.  Lots of undergrowth and boulders to dig a den underneath. 

On the funny side of my walk, I found an intact condom in it's intact wrapper!   Trojan Magnus,  :laugh:, why somebody would throw that on the side of the road is beyond me.  It made me chuckle nevertheless.   I never know what I am going to find or see on my excursions!   :laugh:

Had beer. Felt better. The world is fucked up but a beer helps.

Ordered Indian from a restaurant in the neighborhood I've never tried, and it was excellent. They even had GF chickpea flour rotis.

Loaded the dog into the car and drove around for 30 mins when the sun was setting just so I could listen to music and have some space. Enjoyed it.

Sounds like a good mental health break!

Restaurants here are still only allowed to provide curbside takeout and one of the local places realized they had too much stock on order so they teamed up with their suppliers and are providing a truck load sale on meat with a portion of the sales supporting a local women's shelter. So we loaded up. 20 AAA NY Strip 8 oz steaks, 28/5 oz chicken breasts, 90 chicken fingers and 96 jumbo hotdogs for $333. We priced it out per portion and all of it is a deal compared to what we would normally pay in store. :thumbup:
