I'm going to be dreaming that tonight!
My funniest memory is of a guy my wife and I encountered while walking our beagle. He, clearly, had way too much to drink and was yelling, “WASH YO' GOTDAMN HANDS!” to startled strangers passing by. That scene will be forever emblazoned in my memory and I laugh every time I think about it.
OMG! Yes!!! I am snickering as I write this.
It has certainly been a year. I was away too, although out of the country. We came home from Columbia to borders that were closing. It was pretty scary, renting a car in Miami because that is where we landed. Lucky to get a flight. Rented a car a drove to Washington, DC and I thought all hell had broken loose, the government shutting down, Metros not running, Smithsonians closing down...
It has been a year, and I freely admit, the lesson hasn't been lost on me.
What a scene it was! Lol. He made more than a few people jump. He would have been an affective messenger for the CDC, let me tell you.
It felt super-dystopian here. Just as the lockdowns began and supply chain disruptions began city-wide riots started due to the George Floyd murder. It was pure pandemonium.
I live in Washington, DC... I can honestly say I know what you mean with pandemonium. Sadly.
I’m sure these past few months have been terrifying!
Absolutely. :(
Are the National Guard still on site?
Yes. They will stay for at least 10 more weeks. Soon life will go back to a more normal pace and all will be well again.
I want to walk by someone downtown and say "Wash Yo’ Gotdamn Hands!" LOL
I'm glad they're still out there. The extremist chatter seems to have died down for now, thankfully. It really does feel like we're moving in the right direction.
Be careful now, I don't want to see you on the National news! Lol. My wife and I still say that to one another spontaneously sometimes. Real life provides such absolute gold sometimes. As a writer of fiction I'm always looking for quirks like that to use for characters. Another gem, a foreign restaurant owner told me once that he had a paper cut that was annoying him like a million f*cking barking chihuahuas. So hilarious.
