The squirrels around here tend to be afraid of my cats and dogs. Haven't seen very many of them lately.
To clarify about the vents on the side of my computer: I used to have a fan on the side but we reconfigured so I have top fans and back fans instead. The new fans work better than the old side fan. I'm also going to try to set something up to direct air over the top fans-- maybe set up a plastic box with a fan attached to it for air circulation-- that keeps the cats from messing with the fans on the top. I can set up a dust screen too.
Went to the post office but forgot it was MLK day. Took my brother to go to Samsclub to help me get more water and some more food. Stopped at the Chinese buffet & saw most of the employees weren't there. Only saw 2 people. I hope the others are all OK. New waiter there speaks a few words in Japanese that he learned from cartoons. Nice guy. He was waiting ALL the tables by himself and was busting his hump.
On the way in we got stopped at a checkpoint. They were asking for license and insurance. I had my license, registration, and insurance all out & ready. Cops weren't wearing masks, which bugged me bc the new strain of Covid has hit this state. Cop glanced briefly at my stuff and said "Looks good to me!" and waved me on. Poor buggers in an ambulance were stuck waiting on the checkpoint for awhile. Ambulance was followed closely by a police van. Not sure what the checkpoint was about. If it was to see if people had expired insurance or something then it's technically illegal, but that doesn't stop cops around here. That town is bad about issuing bogus tickets. They once gave my brother a ticket for rolling through a stop-- only there was no stop sign. He was going to contest it in court but there is no courthouse & there's no way to contest tickets. Quite the scam they have going.
Briefly popped by to say "Hi" to my friend. He has a sore throat so he wore a mask and distanced. My brother was playing with my friend's daughter & I noticed the kid had a runny nose. I made him use hand sanitizer when he got in the car. Advised my friend not to send the kid to school bc she might be sick.
Tomorrow if I'm feeling up to it we will get more groceries at Walmart. I was too tired to go today. My doctor said to take it easy while I try to get my thyroid under control.
