Surviving Lockdown

It's been strange.  It's been a much simpler routine with no choices and actually not a lot to do.  Karen has caught up with her television routine on demand and is to the point she is actually watching some new shows as they air the first time.  I'm enjoying the pre-2000 Nascar races shown on Fox and love the interaction between the competitors in the Fox I-Racing Invitational series.  Nascar is back in a couple of weeks in overdrive, MBL is suggesting July 4 will be opening day and those ice hockey guys are ready to go back to war too.  I am more than ready for baseball for sure.

Karen's employers met in the parking lot on Friday afternoon, just to let everybody know what was going on.  The company reopened 105 stores in 5 states on Friday and they are awaiting a "go" from Raleigh before calling in employees as the lockdown ends here Saturday.  I almost figure she will be back to work within a week, as Belk is appearing to be a leader in companies returning their workers to the payroll and to work.

Hobby Lobby reopened stores in the NC Triad area yesterday, while remaining closed in "hotter" areas virus-wise.  The Feds (the CDC) has "updated" the death count and this pandemic is looking to be less and less fatal than even the regular flu, for which supposedly, there IS a vaccine for.  Nope.  I won't consider anything backed by Bill Gates, W.H.O. and George Soros.  Don't ask.  Gates is being sued over deaths in Africa connected with him jacking around with vaccines, and he's probably responsible for nearly a quarter million paralyzed kids in India for the same reasons, jacking around with vaccines.  #RealTalk

On the #RoxX front I've accepted the challenge of trying to film my own parts for a "home lockdown-style" music video, shot on my phone.  OK, the phone's not a problem, HD cameras on front and back, same stats on both.  Ran through it completely a few weeks ago, uploaded the video to Tommy.  He makes suggestions, so no, this isn't the end, I'm just getting started.  A week later I shot two complete versions using my LED light strip for color and effect and uploaded them to Tommy.  A week later I reach out and ask how he's doing and he replies he's had some technical difficulties.  Suggests I do my video in segments.  So I re-shot it last night, ended up uploading four segments to complete the song.  I hope?  To be continued!
