That is the first time I have heard this story. You have just advanced several notches in my book Kudos

They still cannot do gym in person. Our school's gym is now being used as a second cafeteria. They are stuck doing all of their classes remotely.

The amount of effort put in by our custodial staff, admins, support staff and teacher, on a budget of close to zero, to make our building as safe as possible has been astounding. I understand it is hard for a lot of kids and parents to accept the way it has been set up, the new rules etc. but if we are going to stay open we have to follow state and CDC guidelines as much as possible I’m trying to make it fun and close to normal but damn it is hard. And the crap thrown at us by much of the public has been reprehensible. We are not the ones closing the schools or writing the mandates. Local elected school boards and health officials determine that

Remote learning is great for some kids. But for many many kids it does not work. I just got to meet another cohort of my students today. For the last two months I only saw them through a screen. I hope we can keep them coming to school but the community spread in the city is soaring.

It might wind up being true today but probably will be short of that

That was from yesterday and I didn’t see any sites that had that high of a number

We pay for price protection so we can ride the lows. Costs a little bit but I don’t have to chase

The Moderna vaccine supposedly only has to be kept at -4F I think... that would be helpful

My brother went back in August. He said it was ok. Different. He goes twice per year generally. We enjoy it but out of our budget now, plus I don’t want to fly

Cali Grill was one of my top dinners I have ever eaten. Beach Club is a great location for Epcot and the Studios. We have not stayed at the Villas there but in the main hotel. Tusker is meh so not missing much. I would go over to Animal Kingdom Lodge and do Boma or Jiko instead. Or in Animal Kingdom itself Tiffins was very good a couple of years ago. And Satuli Canteen is fun

Yeah. Those are expensive but you can really get the big ones knocked out quickly. I do recommend that app though. The Disney numbers run a bit high compared to reality I’m guessing that is to make you feel better. “The wait was supposed to be 60 minutes but we got through in 40.” That kind of thing Amy good dining plans besides Brown Derby?

Do you use the Lines app? The guy that runs that (Len Testa) is awesome

Oh yes. I think they are running at 25% park capacity. State allows 100% but they are being conservative. So far no spread detected from the parks and resorts. A bunch of stuff is closed though. Several hotels, restaurants. No parades or nighttime shows. Very little entertainment

Not really. Lines look long due to spacing but they are down from typical

They think this is nothing. No one dies. No one has long term health effects

Rain has started here

That’s the model we are in now. Our daughter has a variation on that. My wife is back to 5 days a week with the kids and some families are doing remote

My district is in school.

I concur. I finally got to meet some of my students this week. And many of them seem to be in some type of shock. I do think it will gradually come back to “normal” for them. I’m trying to do things as close to normal in my classroom but it is so different. I really hope we get to keep it going but I fear the community will cause the plug to be pulled. As it is we had a number of families who had initially signed off on hybrid switch their kids back to remote. I think it will become a tsunami

Would not shock me Same thing with the Notre Dame football game...

There is the whole Parler thing too.

Lol... definitely a slanted view on that site

Well, we can of course. But the national psyche will continue to suffer if that is the case.

We noticed that too

No leaves here. My dogwood is dropping a ton though.
