Day 224

 

Day 224, self quarantine:

Saturday, October 24, 2020

I’m late this morning because I’m sitting in the car outside Main Street Music at 8:00 a.m. because Gary found out it’s Record Store Day and they have social distancing shopping.

Gary is bringing up the back of the line and they don’t even open for an hour.

There goes the Slick Retirement Fund.

I know one thing. After this we’re getting cake.

There’s an insane vegan bakery a couple blocks away.

So let’s get yesterday’s Twitter highlights out of the way:

Kurt Eichenwald: “How, how can anyone vote for this imbecile? Do they not see the mass death, the mass infection, the mass unemployment, the global quarantine? How do they think this is going to end if a man who keeps saying "It's going away" when it's getting worse retains power?”

Dr. Fauci: “Trump has not attended a White House coronavirus task force meeting in several months. They’re not even pretending to give an F. As we reach a quarter million deaths & cases spike.”

Donald last night:  “We’re turning the corner on the virus!”

The actual real, verified news this morning: 

“US tops one-day record with over 80K coronavirus cases, exceeding previous summer high.”

People, I hate to tell you this, but if Trump gets re-elected, we’re all gonna die.

Also Trump yesterday, speaking at one of his cootie spreading rallies IN A FUCKING RETIREMENT COMMUNITY IN FLORIDA...sorry, I can’t calm down, how is this not murder...

TRUMP: "We're not going to have a socialist president — especially any female! We're not going to put up with it!" 

Especially any female.

ESPECIALLY ANY FEMALE.

Excuse me.  I need to go breathe into a paper bag.

Omg, he needs to go today, the hell with next week.

Everyone please meditate on this right now.

So that’s about it today.  We pre-ordered some of the vinyl we’re getting, like the new remastered John Lennon release, BB King with Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix Blues, and our new favorite, Kingfish Ingram.  We have some of these already but not remastered vinyl and we are music nerds so we’re pretty excited about this.  I have Gary on the lookout for the Black Keys and *ducking* Seal.

Ooh, Gary just made it inside.  They’re only letting a couple of shoppers in at a time for 15 minutes.

Omg, Gary in a record store for only 15 minutes.  This is going to be the ultimate Supermarket Sweep!

So one of two things will happen.  He’s either going to get crazed and grab records by the handful and throw them wildly on the counter without calling me to find out if we already have something, or, my prediction, this is too early in the morning for Gary and too much pressure, he’s just coming out with the four records we preordered.

I’ll let you know.

Have a wonderful Saturday!
