CORONAVIRUS! Part 69 – Happy Burn Day! (Saturday)
And Labor Day Weekend (Sunday-Monday)

Wow, this Blog Post has been sitting unfinished for too long…
Labor Day WEEKEND Blog Post! And nothing’s happening here.
AND IT IS ACTUALLY SEPTEMBER 16th TODAY…. we are sorry, not sorry.
So, we are going to finish this post and then catch up on last week too.
CRAZY SH*T IS GOING ON! WE ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN OUR CALM!
BUT WE ARE REALLY FREAKING OUT ABOUT EVERYTHING!
Howyoudoin’?

Saturday, September 5, 2020 – Derby Day!
And The Man doesn’t burn tonight….
(except in the virtual world and in backyards and beaches around the world)

So, there’s no Burning Man on The Playa in the Black Rock Desert this year! The event was cancelled long ago, when it was apparent that any large gathering of human beings would be a “super spreader” threat to the all the people of the world. 70000+ Burners from around the world gathering to party and build a community in the desert would be a bad idea with the CoronaVirus pandemic still raging and without contact tracking, adequate testing and a vaccine…. so NO BURNING MAN THIS YEAR! (see below) 

Some people went out to The Playa to camp during “Burn Week”.
And there is much debate about it. We think people should have heeded the request to stay home and not go, but we appreciate that some rebels wanted to do it for themselves.
And we are a little jealous that a couple thousand people had a great time saying FU.
But it was wrong! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! SOCIAL DISTANCE! Do not gather in large groups!
We may have thought about wanting to go, but we can’t go, because we are AT HOME!
We are staying SAFE-AT-HOME and not spreading the virus and/or exposing others!

There was a “virtual Burning Man” this year for “The Multiverse” theme.
Which was really appropriate for a Burning Man that only happened on the InterWeb.
There was an AltVR Burning Man and more online simulations and experiences for people to pretend that they were having it, and it provided some people with good fun.
WE DID NOT DO BURNING MAN IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD.
We did participate on Facebook with Camp Envy
and in a group where we all pretend we are at Burning Man this year,
but we didn’t experience The Multiverse online beyond the intro page. 
And that’s all we’re going to say about that right now.

FUCK YER BURN!
FUCK THE CORONAVIRUS! FUCK TRUMP AND THE GOP!
Fuck all those selfish people who can’t self-isolate and wear a mask!
SIX MONTHS OF THIS SHIT! FUCKING SO OVER IT!

The Kentucky Derby happened on Saturday (without a crowd and without the festivities):
“The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home” – NO MINT JULEP FOR YOU!
And the winner is:
Authentic 8-1 – WIN
Tiz The Law 3/5 – Place
Mr Big News 46-1 – Show
Honor A.P. 7-1 – Loser

And then Authentic tried to take out his owner Bob Baffert in the Winner’s Circle!

And then the AirConditioning had a malfunction in today’s 109 degree heat…
THE AIR CONDITIONING DIED! AND IT’S FUCKING HOT!

NOTE: A NEW RECORD HIGH IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY! 
121 DEGREES IN WOODLAND HILLS, CALIFORNIA! Climate change is real!

On The Menu: 3 Hotdogs with mustard, a dill pickle, avocado, strawberries and a DrPepper after midnight

Sunday, September 6, 2020

It’s 105 degrees at 11am (and the AC is broken) – but it’s a dry heat…
It was so f*ckin’ HOT! No air conditioning.
Had to use the old wet t-shirt and desk fan solution to stay cool all day and night.

Vegas Baby! Vegas! The Volcano at the Mirage on Labor Day Weekend Sunday night…. not a lot of social distancing happening here. (from a Livestream, I am not in Las Vegas)

It’s CRAZY watching the crowds in Las Vegas on the lifestreams! 
The Labor Day crowds were just wrong. And the reports about brawls and violence on The Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Fremont Street were just what Vegas didn’t need right now.
There’s NO SOCIAL DISTANCING! There is a mask mandate, but it’s not really happening, and definitely not 100%. The low room rates and discount air fares are drawing the bad elements. And the Vegas crowd is an available target for thieves, swindlers and other no goodniks.
SO DON’T GO TO LAS VEGAS! STAYTHEFUCKHOME AND STAY HEALTHY! 

On The Menu: Steak and cheese sandwich on toasted sourdough with BBQ sauce, dill pickle, avocado and an iced espresso. Chocolate milkshake for dessert.

Monday, September 7, 2020 – LABOR DAY!

80 degrees outside at 3am…. and the Moon is orange because of the smoke in the air.

Happy Labor Day! Take the day off.

USA! USA! USA!

The AC guy came this morning and now I am cool. Yesterday totally sucked.

And Labor Day Weekend totally sucked. NO BBQ with friends. No parties.
No events. Self-Isolation with TV and the inter web….. SO BORING. 
We spent the weekend with the dogs, going inside and outside,
wandering from the Home Office to the kitchen, to the bedroom and back. 
WE LOVE OUR DOGS! And we are loving them all the time during lockdown.

On the Menu: We tried “contactless” Pizza pickup from Domino’s – with pepperoni, pineapple and extra cheese – and it was fine. Big difference in price and taste from our usual pizza too.
