D League,
Hello friends, it's been a while since I've checked in here. I trust most of you all are doing well out there in this crazy world we live in. I'm just moving along the best I can this summer, working, starting off the school year and so on and so forth.
I just got over the dreaded covid-19 "Delta" strain. In fact, my entire family was diagnosed with it (or at least tested positive). I asked the doctor if it was the delta variant and they said that they weren't sure, but that they were calling it as being delta, as they seem to be with all recent cases. I had some general fatigue and sinus congestion as my symptoms. No fever, no coughing, no sore throat; just tired and runny nose. A few years ago, I would have called that a common cold, but nowadays, I have to call it corona-19. Thanks to God, we are over it now and moving on.
With all the recent hysteria surrounding the pandemic, I'm afraid that my local school system, where I work, is going to re-issue mask mandates. As of today, they're optional, but, word on the street is that we are likely going backwards to requiring the mask again. I guess that our officials are caving in to the narrative after all.
It's going to be another hot, muggy, humid day here with our daily rounds of afternoon heavy thunderstorms. We had a big storm yesterday afternoon....an isolated thunderstorm with high winds, lightning, and about 1.13 inches of rain in 40 minutes.
Take care and keep on.....
