May. 13th, 2020 03:50 pmThe Air Force Thungerbirds (?) just flew over this part of Austin. I deliberately live minutes away from a Hospital and medical center since I spend so much time needing medical attention. It's nice that during the Pandemic so many are going out of their way to Thank the people doing the heavy lifting now. This is in no way a war. It's a plague, and the military can't really do anything during plague.
If only we were more appreciative of our healthcare workers more often...

The Governor issued an Executive Order to start re-opeing the state before the end of May, but the city and county extended thier stay at home order. Dumb Governor, smart city. The city can't supercede the Order, but it can strongly suggest people do the Smart thing. The State AG has already sent a letter to Austin warning them of this. Politics as usual in Texas. The state doesn't want to be "bullied" by the Federal Government, but they have no problem turning around and Bullying the smaller governments. It's been this way since literally the beginning of the state.

Finally got all the plants repotted, and the cat grass is sprouting. It took it less than 7 days to poke through the soil - I was a little surprised at the quick germination. Livia has already mown it once, so it's a much bigger hit than the catnip was! The cactus is showing new growth too.

Still drifting. I don't have any idea when the new laptop wil arrive, then I'm not sure exactly how I'll get it set up for my needs. So yay for not having a clue about when I can get on with my life...
