WEDNESDAY – Wait...did you hear that?
The landscape is changing quickly so we have to keep our ears (and eyes) open on the health orders and word coming down from the state/county/city. Time for a cautious reopening of businesses and kick-starting our economy.
We must be in firework season now given the symphony of explosions we heard. And who are the lucky ones who get to hear “Mr. Backfire” each day between 7:20am-7:30am. He’s so cool with his let-me-shift-my-gears-and-backfire-to-let-everyone-know-how-cool-I-am feature.
It’s a short week so we are working hard to put out all our normal content, plus celebration the 8th anniversary of Kidical Mass. We wish we could ride with you all this weekend but at this point we think it’s next month....July at the very latest.
Reminder: The donations to the senior care homes are STILL coming in much to the delight of the residents and staff. There still is time to drop off more cards, books, magazines, puzzles, or games at Bixby Joe Coffee & Tea.
Remember to scroll all the way down to the bottom because the graphics change daily with specific information. It is all worth your time, I promise.
Gone to put the trash cans out again,
Blair
