Evening.

[WXRGina]

Hey, Vision! Glad Free Republic is back up! How’s it going?

[Vision]

All is well here Gina. You? Any thoughts on the Chinese flu?

[WXRGina]

Good deal! And we’re fine, too, Vision.

My thoughts on that flu are that—next to “climate change”—it’s the biggest, most dangerous and destructive media hoax in world history, but what do I know?

[Viking2002]

Evening, folks.

[Vision]

What’s happening?

[Viking2002]

Stupid Viking fell again. I took the trash into the garage sans footwear and eyeglasses or contacts. When I turned and stepped to go back up, my toes felt nothing underneath, and my eyes couldn't see there my toes were, so backwards I went. I got lucky; I was only on the first step, but I put my shoulder right into the floor freezer, slid sideways, and ended up staring up at my own feet. LOL Luckily the workbench was right there to grab so I could pull myself back up, but I wrenched my rotator cuff a good shot and must've hit my hand, because it left a pretty good raspberry from the base of my thumb up to my wrist. As falls go, this was probably a 2 on a 10 scale for me. Other than that, still waiting to hear from my lawyer and the claims adjuster.

We have a great Mexican place in town called El Rio Grande. I ordered us dinner from there the other night, and stopped at the convenince store for some Mexican beer to go with it. The cashier said hello, how's your evening, blah, blah, and I told her I was on my way to El Rio to pick up dinner and needed to grab a couple cans of Corona Extra Virus to wash it down with. It went in one ear and I thought it was going to come out the other, then she stopped, started to grin, put her head on the counter, and said, "I wish y'all would stop that! You're the second person tonight that's come in here, bought Corona, then started making virus jokes!"

🤣

Hate Late.......AZ doesn’t play DST

[WXRGina]

Glad you’re okay after that fall, though, Viking. We know it could’ve been much, much worse.

[Viking2002]

Thanks, Gina.

[Vision]

Seems like all is well for the moment.
