Dee,I figured you were settled in after your last move.

FBL,
Good to see you honoring the icons we've lost again in your avatar. Little Richard was just before my time for his mid 50s to early 60's hits. Most folks don't know he let the Beatles open for his show several times, and saved a failing Rolling Stones tour. He taught Paul McCartney his "Little Richard" singing style which we heard on "Twist And Shout" etc. Little Richard had a strong on stage presence but had a guitarist who tried to compete with him early on for stage presence, so he decided to kick Jimi Hendrix out of his band, who went to The Isley Bros band before getting together "The Jimi Hendrix Experience." I wasn't a big Little Richard fan at the time he was at his peak, but as time wore on he was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. His becoming ordained and quitting rock several times to go back to the church the back to rock were strange to watch. But we've all had a taste of the addiction demons he struggled with most of his life. He was larger than life, antithesis of pious and humble. He did reconcile both sides of his nature mid life so he died sane and comfortable in his skin, which is all any of us can ask, no?

Mags,Despite being a medic and then a Med Lab technologist doing a lot of sticks and even drawing for blood drives, I could never stick myself. If I had to daily or weekly I could fine. But not just for a once every few years CBC and/or differential. You Rock! I think you're right about a second wave of Covid19. It's also mutating. Could be for the better or much worse. We are staying in until next year.

Hey Sassy, GHD Star Andy Toots and PJ, we had 70s all week but today it started cool but got colder as the day wore on. It's very windy, no rain or snow yet. 37° now and 25% humidity, so we'll see tomorrow.

We cleaned up and oiled our antique German Deacon's bench today and it looks better than it had in years. Finished setting up my SH's office today too.

Nite all, good morning to the other side of the pond. Good evening to those down under.
