Ohhhhhhh

Which one?

Ahhhhhhh.

I haven't decided yet!

Yes she has. She’s wearing a cheerleading costume with “Daddy” on the front

Yda. If you can get those numbers down enough for me to roam the streets with my girl gang.

I WILL WEAR THAT


Booyah.

There's this one place on Bourbon street that I like to stop off in and get a pizza slice and a Hurricane. It's my own little way of starting my experience. ❤

I like to head to the square that first night. Hear the musicians as the sun sets and feel the air heavy with heat and humidity.

 

[Endless_Night]

I kinda prefer it in the fall. Just so I'm not all sweated up. The dive bars are fun. I remember this one band kept getting requests shouted at them by drunken yokels and they just kept going playing their own stuff. I totally admired that. Lol

I am relatively unfazed by the heat, but fall is always good. My most favorite of seasons.

I love the tiny little bars and restaurants. Where there's room for like 10 people, barely. And the lovely, lovely old houses, with their tiny yards and painted, shuttered windows. And how the men all call you, "Cher," and tell you what streets and places to avoid. (Endearing.)

And how everyone ignores the idiotic tourists.

Speaking of….

I've been watching the southwestern states sweep red in a westward direction on the Covid ActNow site as Delta takes hold. Today Louisiana climbed out of the pack into the highest possible risk level.

I fear this is going to impact my plans for Halloween.

The three of us are double vaxxed. We're driving rather than flying. We all mask inside buildings. The hotel is upscale and is supposed to do crazy Covid cleaning. But…still.

Haven't canceled yet, but we may be spending a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the French Quarter rather than actually in the French Quarter.

*le sigh*

The Delta is going crazy down here right now and walking into any store or gas station, not one person is wearing a mask. We already have hospitals full and not able to take people right now. Lets hope it will get better before halloween.

It hasn't smacked Texas fully yet, but numbers in the city are starting to rise and cases along the Mexican border are beginning another spike. With school getting ready to start, and no mask mandating allowed I'm expecting things to explode in the major hubs and the border towns, and possibly everywhere else.

I can't speak to Dallas, but there's still a fair amount of masking in Houston. A quarter to a third of people, dependent on location. Rurally and the suburbs? Nada.

 

[Endless_Night]

Yeah the rural yokels don't give a fuck. They've kind of just decided, along with our total dickhead of a governor, that the Covid19 problem is over. I'm very glad Houston businesses are all "No, fuck this shit, wear a fucking mask!" I really don't want there to be a Lockdown 2: Quarantine Bugaloo but...stupids gotta be stupid. So we're heading in that direction, sadly.

Idk. People's views are shaped by their experience. Nearly a year into this mess there were a least a dozen Texas counties+ that hadn't seen one case, and several dozen that had less than five. In an entire county. Rural as a whole simply hasn't been impacted. Add that to a host of other factors and you get people doubtful of the severity of the situation and unwilling to jump in on a new vaccine.

Even in the city…. I have a friend who knows at least 10 people who've been sick. Every single one has been asymptomatic except for three, who experienced a brief loss of smell. This was pre-vaccine, so the only reason most even knew they were infected was work-required or proximity-to-someone-ill testing. Add that to an unfortunate incident of a relative's death certificate listing Covid as cause when it absolutely was not and *boom* a conspiracy theory is born.

Do I personally agree with all the above? Nope.

But I attribute the explosion of dismissiveness, name calling, and intolerance of other peoples' concerns and point of view (on both sides) as having created the most divisive and ugly United States that I've ever had the displeasure of living in.



(But I agree with your opinion on our Govenor. )

 

[Endless_Night]

What a freaking day. How it's possible for more than one person I know to have their lives implode on the same day is a mystery. I have reached the point of being afraid to answer the phone.

No more phone.


The couch is calling. And the television. Maybe a little precode. Maybe a little horror.

And a cookie.

Gluten free, of course.

 

[Endless_Night]

The field next to me is full of those enormous ton bales!




Which, for some inexplicable reason, makes me happy.

 

[Endless_Night]

I honestly do not understand what maintains their friendship.

They're both in the same field. Both active on social media. A boosts everything work related B does. The B has never once (to my knowledge) ever referenced, even in passing, a success of A's. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen B boost anyone else's work.

Distasteful, in it's own way….



Thank goodness I have a new book to cleanse the palette.

 

[Endless_Night]

Oops!

 

[Endless_Night]

Is it possible to get on top of one of those round, ton hay bales, you ask?


Why yes, I say.

It may require a running start and a certain amount of scrabbling. Also, perhaps, more than one try.


(Like five tries. Ish. )

 

[Endless_Night]

Is it just me, or has it been one weird week?

(Forget about the ghastly last 2-3 years. )



I am afraid to answer the phone. Or go to sleep. Or….

Next week will be better.

Right?

RIGHT?

See, I told you that there would be elements of delight in the new life style!

I also fell off the zero mower the other day.

Into the ravine.

Says the woman who recently tripped on the stairs and broke two toes a few weeks back.


I should have been named Grace. Endless Grace.


Oh, goodness. I am taking my whiney posterior to bed.

Night, Lit.

 

[Endless_Night]

Three weird things about today:


-It cost seven dollars to have a car inspected in the country. That’s right. Seven. Dollars.
-My conspiracy theory bestie got her first vax.
-I ate French fries.


The end is nigh, people.

 

[Endless_Night]

I need some horror. Classic. Hammer. Cushing. Lee.

Ooooh! Oliver Reed! (I just saw him in a little know adaption of Then There Were None. )

Are there any Hammer Horror movies I haven't seen? Kinda doubtful, but clearly this deserves further investigation.


Until then, I retire to read. DeKok and the Geese of Death, by A.C. Baantjer.


Because nothing says light reading like Dutch detective fiction.

 

[ydahecnot]

Hehe…you said “DeKok.” You like DeKok.

 

[Endless_Night]

Hehe…you said “DeKok.” You like DeKok.

Well…errr….

Shut up!

Look at Endy all fancy, eating French food.

Hahahaha! OMG, Boo!

I just lost an entire mouthful of Topo Chico!

Did you ever see "The Creeping Flesh"?

 

[Endless_Night]

Did you ever see "The Creeping Flesh"?

My Dear Sir.

You know not with whom with you type.

I say it about 3 weeks ago. For the…eight, or maybe ninth, time.

You are obviously an

[Endless_Night]

Bwahahaha sorry about that.

Also I loooooove Topo Chico.

Topo or nopo.

Eh. I just have lowbrow movie tastes.

Have you ever heard of The Beast Must Die?

It’s not Hammer, but Amicus (which is kind of a American Hammer) and Peter Cushing is in it. I heard that it was worth watching, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Apparently they stop the film and give you time to figure out who the werewolf is!

I need to watch this movie!

 

[hotoldrguy]

We share that. I am a big fan of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Saw all their movies back when they were made...LOL
Then again also a fan of Bela Lugosi Boris Karloff Lon Chaney Jr. Vincent Price...you get the drift...LOL
