Unfortunately, probably not today, or maybe not even this weekend. Matthew was potentially exposed to COVID at work. We’re waiting to hear about test results for one of his coworkers. And, if positive, we’ll all hafta’ get tested again….

I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending negative thoughts your way

Thanks, Figgy.
3 younger folks at my office have already had COVID at some point. The first one early on before the shots came out, and that’s when the firm spent 10K havin’ the place deep-cleaned.
Another went to a wedding a while back and never even came back to the office before she tested positive.
The other was in the office on a Monday morning back in late July, but, was feelin’ bad so sent home, and later tested positive.
At that point, almost everyone in the office had been fully vaccinated, and there weren’t really any break-through cases.
Things are different now. We shall see…

Whelp, I lived out my 13 year old girl fantasy and saw the Jonas Brothers yesterday. It was so awesome! Mom and I are already talking about going to more concerts up there once we know the schedule for next year.

How many of you are like my wife and change things in the home to match the 4 seasons? When I was a single man living alone there were 2 seasons : 1) Christmas 2) The other 11 months

So anyway, my wife changes the table cloths 4 times a year and has various decorations for here and there in the house as well...

There's none of that here. That takes too much effort. The only thing that changes is that some plants come inside.

We had three!

I really like her modern centerpiece on the autumn tablecloth.

At home here, I occasionally change a tablecloth, but not for any particular reason (except maybe for the Christmas season). Sometimes, I just put out placemats instead of a cloth.

Chipotle new smoked brisket is excellent.

You have a better record than I. I have 2 seasons as well: Christmas sometimes one week and the rest of the 51 weeks.

There was a PBS special on just that subject and the possibility of a tsunami -- very scary and it will be catastrophic for the entire east coast destroying many many miles inland. It would make hurricane Sandy look like a walk in the park. Pray to god it does not happen

.

"Canary Islands, Future
One group of scientists believes that conditions are ideal for a tsunami-producing landslide on the island of La Palma in the Canaries. The western flank of the island's active volcano has the potential to give way in a future eruption. If it did, a huge mass of rock weighing 500,000 million tons would fall into the Atlantic Ocean. Experts in Switzerland have simulated the potential effects of such a collapse. Their model shows that it could generate a wave capable of engulfing every port on the east coast of the U.S., which they believe may have happened during a similar tsunami 120,000 years ago"

Like global warming there are many scientist who believe it won't ever happen

Honestly I do not believe this as the waves start to reduce in size as distance.
There was a gigantic landslide in the USA that created a 100meters tall wave.
But the effect of the wave was not that far and was more localized.

Honestly , in my opinion the most dangerous is a thermal explosion by water entering the caldera after a landslide.
A Krakatoa+ event.

I went to order new tops off of Macy's because I'm going back to work two days a week in two weeks. My Macy's credit card wasn't working. Turns out the last time I used it was 2018. Now I can really justify purchasing a couple of new work blouses.

I don't. Christmas and that is it.
