While I was gone

susandennisIt's been a fair number of days since I left this building. Turns out everyone seems to have carried on fine without me.
The license place was packed. They sell the date stickers and actual plates plus permits for disabled parking, etc. And everyone showed up today. Even the woman who ran the joint noted that they were busier today than they had been in a year. Masks were required and worn by everyone and they were tightly controlling the number of people inside. But, they did have a number service and it's not like I had a long list of other things to do, so I got my number, took a chair and fired up MLB on my phone to watch the Mariners take an early lead.
I not only got my date sticker but I put it on the car! I am now good to go until August 2022.
Traffic was busy. Most people on the street were still wear in masks. I stopped by the new (to me) teriyaki place that I tried once and needed another time to judge fairly. The mean guy was gone and replaced by a nice older lady. They were not open for dining and still serving through a weird window. But, this time they did not fuck up my order and it was delicious. And I have enough left for dinner. I guess it's my new favorite teriyaki place.
Coming home there was even more traffic and police had some roads blocked off entirely. I scrapped the plan to stop by Krispy Kreme because I didn't know what was going on or why.
Turns out it was a massive parade of law enforcement officers in cars, on bikes and on motorcycles to the baseball park where they are holding a memorial for a police officer who was killed a week or so ago when she, off duty, stopped to help some car wreck victims. She was, apparently, one of the really really good ones.
Biggie met me at the door when I got home which he has not done in weeks. He was then all over me, again, acting as if he wanted to dig his teeth in but did not. Now he's sleeping out on the terrace floor.
The first of two loads of laundry is in, Robby vacuuming the back half of the house and the Mariners are in the 8th inning with a fairly solid lead. Oh and it's still not horribly hot. Life is good.
