Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Thrive to spite them

And Furman University, which I drive by every day, has suspended a fraternity for partying after a lot of the students attending the parties tested positive and they are doing mandatory school wide testing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm so sorry, Trudy. Much love and strength to your entire family.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm very sorry, Trudy.

I'm very sorry, Trudy.

In COVID news here, the University where I work has been open for a couple of weeks now and intended for classes to be a mix of in-person and online students. Apparently they wanted 25-50% to attend in-person and the rest, either because of health concerns or to make social distancing possible, to attend online. However, the students who were supposed to show up in-person are mostly just attending online. Frequently the attendance for the in-person class group is just a handful of people. Not sure if this will change over the course of the semester or what.

At the Libraries where I work, we now have people counters and signs that show occupancy levels. So far our occupancy levels have not been over 50%. We also have mask monitors who go around and remind the students to wear their masks and stay 6 feet away from each other. So far no serious push-back which kind of surprises me since this is Texas.

What a seriously strange year.

Thanks.

I'm blessed that my mother is incredibly cautious.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm so sorry, Trudy.
