Some questions

Why are dentists’ offices closed and the abortion clinic in Jackson open?

Big problems

I am a retired senior citizen and have stayed home for a month in order to avoid contracting or spreading COVID-19. I went to Keesler Air Force Base today to pick up medicine and was impressed by the precautions the base is taking as their part in preventing the spread of this very dangerous virus. On the way home I decided to ride down Sangani Bouelvard in D’Iberville. The parking lot at both Walmart and Lowes was full of cars and people. At Walmart there was a line for entry but very little social distancing. Family groups were seen leaving store. I saw about 3 people in entire area wearing face masks. Am I the only person that see this as a major problem?

Stock market

Pretty certain the reason the stock market is down and in a flux is because the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter is aligning with Mars, or maybe not enough plutonium and a short in the capacitor. Or, could be because the entire dang world is on hold dealing with a pandemic.

Get serious

Why are grocery stores not requiring people to wear a mask? That one simple measure could very well cut down on many people becoming infected. It’s past time to get serious about this virus.

Repairs needed

So you think that Pass Road in Biloxi is better than Gulfport? Evidently, you don’t travel that way often. It is full of potholes and plenty of manhole covers that are deep enough to knock your front end out of line. I have mentioned before that Pass Road needs to be repaved from gate to gate. This is the perfect time to do this while the traffic is light.

Bad journalism

The New York Times changes some stories to make Trump look bad, and others so Biden doesn’t look so bad.
