So when can we expect to purchase some Joshua's Creed masks or faceshields and BCTBBB masks or facesheilds?

   That's not a bad idea except I am an anti-masker. So I feel that to sell them would make me a hypocrite.

Then you'd fit in with all the rest of us 

I was supposed to start training for the Census Bureau today.  However, with our local COVID cases spiking, they have decided to postpone the training and putting people on the streets to complete the census.  If they wait too long, I won't go to work for them.  I would have overlapped with my job at school in August.  If they wait too long about starting, then that would overlap into September as well.  Working two jobs on top of being a pastor would be hard for a month, but it would be even tougher for two months.

Oh yeah, man that sounds like really stretching yourself pretty thin.

Are your schools opening in the Fall? We are getting such mixed signals here in Washingstan no one knows what to expect.

Can't find 9mm ammo anywhere.

It's available online but super expensive...  I just bought a bunch of reloads for significantly cheaper.  I've only shot a few but so far they shoot great.

I'll have to consider that.

I wasn't aware of this, but when I got those reloads, the guy mentioned that he's actually certified by some national reloading something-or-another.  So I guess that's a thing and might be a good idea to keep an eye out for which might help minimize the chances of getting double-charges or worse, squibs.

Not to get all political, but let's get political. This is part of Biden's plan.

To control the populace, you need them where you can get to them.  Keeping them in large cities makes it easier to control fringe groups.  Or, as the Democrats would say, people who love freedom and believe in their God given rights.

I cut the cable yesterday. Have an antenna coming for local channels.

100 degree weather for the next few days

Nashville's schools will be delayed until after Labor Day.  My county, which is next door to Davidson, is having a special called school board meeting on Thursday to discuss making teachers and students wear masks.  To me, if this is so darn contagious, then why would you want your kid in school at all seeing that they can do it all online now?  Do parents really believe their kid would keep that mask on all day?  We can't even enforce dress code violations now and you want us to keep masks on your child?  

I am expecting a delayed entry, personally, after the meeting Thursday night.

How many channels are you supposed to get?
I want to cut my cable too, but it's tied into my internet service and it's almost impossible to separate the two.

I had Directv for a long time.  We shut it off three years ago and picked up Netflix, Hulu, and PureFlix.  We haven't looked back.  I would grab Disney+, but they don't have a lot of the original series I would be interested in on the air yet.  Also, with signing Kapernick to help push the BLM agenda with a new series highlighting racial and social injustices, I don't know that I want to give them money.  I probably will cave, but I won't watch his stuff just as I don't the Obama series on Netflix.  Anything that has to do with hating whitey is just as racist as they accuse all of us of being in my opinion.

Yes, but you have to have central AC in that beautiful house of yours.

Central AC is a gift from God.  I mean it.  We are hovering in the high 90s this week with so much humidity that you can walk outside and be soaked in sweat in seconds.  The heat index makes it feel like it is 105-107.  I am spoiled to having AC in the house.

In the house, yes. In the plant where I work, no

Yikes!
I am going back to the office a few days starting next week.  We are supposed to hit the high 80's and low 90's (not fun with humidity levels in the 35-45% range).  Pretty much nobody in my town has central AC.  We just have a portable unit that will cool down a single room.
Fortunately there is AC at the office.

We have a portable unit in living room, our bedroom and my office.  All 3 keep the house pretty cool.

It's just a little after 9 AM here and it's 84 degrees but with 70% humidity, it feels like 91 degrees

Only 40%?  Pansies!

We hit 94 in TN today, with humidity at 76%.  The heat index said it felt like 107.  Looks like everything ain't bigger in Texas after all!  LOL
