I am angry enough to swallow a horn toad backwards

Now both my sons have been diagnosed with Covid-19. They are in their early 20's and have not had symptoms so I am hopeful they will escape without too much harm. Of course, we don't know what they long term effects might be. They have been wearing masks but not 100% of the time. I think one son caught it from serving at mass with a priest that later tested positive. Our negligent state government has done next to nothing to try to decrease numbers of afflicted. But then our governor is so dumb that she can't tell dung from wild honey.

I have a friend in Sioux Falls.

And he can't stand the idiot governor he has.

...while I think the Feds should issue a mask order, too many wimpy or deluded governors should get with it too, but I really am depressed that just the common sense approach of I will watch out for you by wearing a mask and you do the same for me is lost on so many. If we go to enclosed spaces with many people and everyone is not wearing a mask, if anyone has Covid there, more will get it. It's a vicious opportunistic bug.

And now SCOTUS has ruled that churches shouldn’t be held to the same standards as other gathering places. This country continues to crawl backwards in time. I hope your sons will be okay.
