NB>> Next door, with their high-school graduate, had a string of parties
NB>> to celebrate... At one of them, they had the now-legal ground
NB>> fireworks which they set off from the front walk... I could see
NB>> them out the window, being only next-door... :)
BM> Here Iowa allows whatever the next classification of fireworks is
BM> above sparklers; Bettendorf allows July 3rd and 4th from 2 p.m. until
BM> 11 p.m.. plus for New Year's. The evening of July 3rd was noisy; July
BM> 4....!!! I'm quite certain because of no public displays anyone
BM> interested in having their own did so! We went outside for a while and
BM> surrounded! :) The only problem was with the trees surrounding the property
BM> most of the displays were 'window blinded' by the leaves and branches but
BM> still got a decent show. And some were in between the
BM> trees so a clear view.
The same happened here, since large gathering wasn't allowed, there were
fireworks everywhere instead.... :)
BM> This morning (7th) the morning show meteorologist did comment there
BM> were a few isolated fireworks still last night -- with the glance to
BM> the anchor at the news desk about 15' away of no wonder we're tired
BM> (they probably start their shift around 3 a.m.).
We're still getting isolated fireworks again.... :)
NB>> And then, on the 4th... there were fireworks everywhere... all
NB>> through the neighborhood.... all day and well into the night... :)
NB>> From the sound, some were legal... from the sight over the trees,
NB>> some not... <G>
BM> <he-he!> I don't think there were any illegal fireworks around here,
BM> or at least none that stood out. A couple years ago someone on the
BM> next street over shot off what seemed like an M80 in the early evening;
BM> that one brought people to the front doors trying to figure out what
BM> exploded! We were half-expecting to hear either hear a car racing off
BM> to the hospital and an ambulance coming.
That happens once in a while here... and a little more often up at the
Pond... :)
NB>>> Or just the therapist sees a lot of high-risk clients, vs not so
NB>>> high-risk.... She'd chickened out about a week before the shutdown,
NB>>> as the virus was arriving... Possibly she could have done a rub or two
NB>>> "under the radar", not at the office, but doing a home visit, but she
NB>>> wasn't ready to risk things either.... Anyway, now we are back on a
NB>>> weekly schedule, thankfully... :)
BM>> Yes, IMO not worth risking the license -- permanently or temporarily.
BM>> As for 'chickening out', maybe, maybe not. She may have foreseen the
BM>> issue and simply took action before others did.
NB>> No, that was her words, when she called the morning of to cancel that
NB>> last appointment....
BM> OK -- sometimes one gets a premonition or something or something just
BM> doesn't feel right. She seemed to be right to close, even though a
BM> week early by standards (being ahead of everyone else isn't necessarily
BM> a bad thing!).
She was also one of the first in her office to re-open... :)
BM>> Yes. Frozen is looking more full but still holes. Did notice one
BM>> strange thing yesterday: frost! Several of the cases had a pretty
BM>> good amount of frost build-up. My guess is a combination of air leaks
BM>> in the doors (by the frost pattern), humidity, and the new cases being
BM>> set a little too cold.
NB>> Were they already stocked...? Or still mostly empty...? that could
NB>> have an effect, too...
BM> Both! Some cases were full, some empty, a couple/few partially
BM> stocked. Most cases didn't have the frost. During the past week's
BM> meandering did notice only a few of the cases had a frost build-up and that
BM> was way down from the previous week.
Guess they are finding the sweet spot... ;)
