Summer in Strange Times

    Gramma has been living with us since the 20th of July when Andrew picked her up at Petra's after she called because she was being mistreated by them. There has been a person assigned as her guardian through protective services and we hope to met with her soon to get Gramma the services she needs. On August 3rd I started getting the Eucharist for Gramma from church on Sundays. Lisa and her boys came over for dinner that night and visited with Gramma as has Elidia twice.  I had my wellness check up with Dr. Huhn on August 4th and everything looked good. On the 12th of August I helped pass out chrome books at Elmwood from 10 to 1. We went to Valpo the weekend of the 14th and Andrew took care of Gramma here at our house. Silas is going to school and has completed a week and a half now in Kouts.  On Monday the 17th while Jane and I were on a walk and I got bit by a pitbull boxer at Betty Shaheen's on Mar Moor Drive. I went to Urgent Care and am healing well but not happy about the experience as because if the neighbor hadn't seen what happened things would have been much more complex. We are in another streak of 88+ heat days creating true dog days of summer. Covid-19 deaths are at 176,000 in the U.S. with 5.7 million cases, Michigan has 6,400 deaths and  97,000 cases while schools here including colleges, are starting mostly online  with sports being cancelled on all levels and for football with the NBA playoffs being played under a bubble at Disney World Complex in Florida. MLB is a 60 game season with games being cancelled for different teams due to positive tests for different teams that will have to be made up as double headers that are 7 innings and then the playoffs. Hockey is playing their playoff games and we'll see what the future holds. Last week Biden and the Democrats had their virtual convention and the Republicans will do theirs this week with Trump-mania. GOD bless the USA and save US from damnation and give US redemption!
