    It seems like a library with drug dogs might be setting themselves up for a lawsuit accusing them of violating the fourth amendment.

    I agree that libraries need to be off limits for drug dogs.

    But bloodhounds add that Deep South touch for harassment immersion. I didn’t have to look far on the Internet to see that they were called “Negro dogs” back in the day.

    I can see the image-gone-viral now, bloodhounds going down the aisles of central library where 3/4 of the patrons sitting at work tables are African-American men.Great visual for the outrage community.

    Went to grocery store today. Sign on door says masks are required regardless of vaccinated status. Went back to car to see if I had one and I did. Got down 2 aisles before I realized half the people in there weren't wearing a mask. Mine came off real fast.

    The few times I go shopping in a brick and mortar store I try to put a mask my neck. I have altered all of my masks so that they fit with a band around my head because the kind that go on my ears never stay on my face. So, it can hang around my neck and if I get to the store and find a mask is required that I can put it up and on.

    We have a 4 days flower show next month. I’ve already told the group that I am willing to set up as I’ve already made that obligation and I will of course help tear down the show. But this assumes that the group can act efficiently and not stand around and fuss about things as we all usually do.


    But. But but but. I will not work during the show as “hostess “which means you sit there for three hours breathing in the fumes of hundreds of others. Our flower show is at the homebuilders Association hall and there will be 200 people through there in a three hour stint. I feel bad about this because I don’t want to be a princess who doesn’t shoulder her share of duties, but I think it’s dumb that we don’t change our expectations.

    I asked the president why, exactly, we had to have someone babysit the show. Yes it is standard procedure but why can’t we relaxOur expectations during these unusual,times? She said we need to guard against theft.

    That answer cemented my idea that I will not risk my health just to watch over other people’s crap. Flower show ladies need to understand that whatever they put in the flower show may walk off. It’s unlikely, but it could happen. That isn’t a big deal and I am entering my exhibit with that in mind.

    Plenty of outrage going around these days ("Don't Fauci my Florida!" "Ban Critical Race Theory!") Some of it more justified than others.

    My county falls within the CDC guidelines recommending mask indoors in public places regardless of vaccination status. I did my routine weekly shopping early yesterday and did not notice any signs requiring or recommending masks. I wore one anyway but did not see many mask wearers. I still try to avoid any big shopping crowds with timely shopping and can get most of my shopping done in a couple of hours or so once a week. It doesn't seem like any big deal after wearing one for so long earlier.

    Went to Costco this morning not realizing they had changed their hours and there was a waiting line around the building to get in; it was packed. Very few wore masks. I think this time around it's each man for himself.

    I never stopped wearing a mask in stores - grocery, retail or whatever.
