Virginia has a hurricane AND a pandemic this week. Joy. That “joy” was ironic.

The Shooting Part 3
More news on the strange shooting last weekend that I witnessed from Richmond Times-Dispatch. One of the things True Crime podcast’s and TV show’s killers (which almost get away with murder) always do is try to commit crimes in private areas. Shooting people in a very public place leaves hundreds of witnesses making get away impossible. I did not expect that level of dumb to be going on, but it turns out that is what happened. It took a few days for news to get slow enough to report on the events.

The number of shootings I have been next to in Austin and New Orleans was zero. One of the big reasons I miss living there so much.

Next I was messaged many times by Internet friends saying some guys was making up stories about me hallucinating the entire story. I put him on user block with the following statement: “I blocked that guy. Obviously an abusive jerk. Sadly that is very common in Virginia. One of the reasons I miss Texas so badly is that Virginia is cram-packed to exploding with the most abusive people in America. I was begging my family to leave Virginia daily even before last weekend.”

The Shooting Part 2
The Shooting Part 2
At long last the news gave a tiny bit of coverage to the shooting I saw. The shooter opened fire on a large group, but was only going for one guy. He injured, but did not kill the victim. Sadly there are SO MANY horrible things going on in the world right now the news can’t give long coverage to EVERY story daily. They only have a half-hour per night so we do not see every beating, rape, shooting, and other crime activity cops are called on in a week.
I am just glad to know why it was a thing. It was done in front of many people in a very public setting. I had no way of knowing who or what he was really trying to shoot. Sitting around and watching the shooting may have cost me my life if he WAS shooting all the people at the club.

Corona and Single Life 2020
An issue with Corona Virus keeping us all inside is that if you are single there is not even the HOPE of dating. As a single person I really hate this part, and wish for the end of the home-stay. Before if I had a bad weekend I at least had HOPE of the next week being better…. Even with the Internet around the chances are limited.
You can’t really meet up for dinner at a closed restaurant. I guess you could go for a park walk, or a Pik-Nik in the park, but meet ups at a concert show or DJ night will NEVER happen. Everyone keeps saying this is “no real issue” but yes… It is an issue.

Virginia Schools Close for the Year 2020
Oh no schools have been closed for the year! Right as I am a teacher for the first time in years! This sucks! Kids will need summer school for years after this closing! They are also closing barbers so we are going to have REALLY ugly hair! The horror!

Corona and Uber
A rough thing about working Uber and Lyft as a side gig right now is that night clubs have closed so male riders are getting extra creepy with female drivers. When is it okay to try solicit your driver as a prostitute? Never! This is why I drive with cameras, and 8 brands of mace, and tasers in my car. Oh well at least I am still working some hours, but I am trying to switch to mostly delivery work after this week. SUPER creepy guys! P.S. I am not now and have never been a prostitute.

Speak-Easy Hot Spots
As public bars shut the rise of pop-up home-bars has been dramatic. It is the “20s” again, and so I guess Speak-Easy hot spots are a thing again as well. Will flappers and bath-tub gin be next? This reminds me of the country song “I’m going to hire a wine-o to decorate our home so you won’t need to roam” where he makes a great home bar!

Road Trip
I am so desperately dreaming of road-trips far away from Virginia that I did a hand stiching of new curtains for my van. I just hand made the new layer of edge-lace. I can’t wait to show my out of state friends! It will be great for photos. I can’t wait to get away again! The euphoria of leaving is ocean sized.
