I just hope the crowd on the beach doesn't turn into a mob....

It seems they got far enough away for the boys to wake up to sunshine. Let's hope sunny days continue.... The ditty from Gilligan's Island in comment above was spot on!

...snatched back to me!

A little drama from mother nature is always interesting....

I guess I need to go to google maps and plug some of these names in....

Wondering about the sudden interest in the piano...

Progress!

It's a good thing that kids are adaptable to yet another change in plans....

Now I'm beginning to wonder if all the adults are gay/lesbian?

I'm in a wait and see mode as I'm not sure the weekend charter idea will really work-out. Additionally, if there are any school clubs or activities on the weekends, the boys will miss out.... But, Q I'm sure has it all figured out.

Well the house in Darwin is nice, but the accommodations in the remote area seem suspect. Also I wonder about this "Christian" school attended mostly by aboriginals.....

A bit late to the party, but I have more time now and I'm interested to see where you take us. (The house sounds awesome!) The characters are introduced and now I hope we get to know them better.

...and back to me!

Jacob realizes both his parents have severe parental deficiencies. He feels caught in the middle of an ongoing feud and is rebelling at being the wounded pawn. He is only 15 but is learning to call bullshit when he sees it. He apologizes again and again to his mother and feels sorry for his dad. I think his only option is to shun them both and concentrate on school and his music.

We're using cloth masks that loop over the ears. Not really medical, but better than nothing. We wash them with soap and water after each use and let them dry.

Made the weekly trip to the grocery store early this morning during "senior" hour and it wasn't too crowded. The store has put up additional plastic barriers between the checker and the customer and everyone was wearing masks except for a few idiots. The employees all had masks and gloves. I sure hope the "idiots" who can't follow directions don't spoil it for others. The governor announced yesterday that all schools would remain closed for the rest of the academic year. The remote learning via the internet and chromebooks for our local school district is continuing. At the beginning of the school closures, our district gave out chromebooks to all students in elementary school as our highschool and middleschool kids already had them. The most impacted students of course are the seniors who miss prom and all the parties and the last month of activities. There will be a commencement for them to receive their diplomas....they just don't know when.

Everyone thinks life sucks having to social distance and I do too, but that's nothing compared to the psychological baggage some of our veterans have to deal with on a daily basis...and for some, it's too much.
