Glad to hear it. We are using the curbside pickup. Since I can't wear a mask, I am not allowed inside.

Too hot for me to use curbside service. I usually go to the store myself but in the morning. Like tomorrow, I plan on going in early. Have plenty of food, but running out of milk and chocolate milk. I wear a bandana I bought many moons ago in the Oatman, AZ ghost town. Although, people still live there, so I guess it isn't a ghost town, just a tourist attraction.

Stay cool. I can't wear anything over my mouth/nose unless it has incoming fresh air. I al looking to get a face shield similar to wheat I used as a mechanic when grinding/cutting metals.

I see quite a few people with face shields on. At least you can tell what they look like. I look like a bank robber with my sunglasses and bandana on. LOL

Going to be hot for the next ten days with temps over 100, mostly 105 and 106, but some 108's and a 109. If it is that hot here, I can only imagine how hot it will be in Nevada.

Be safe and hydrate if you need to be out in it. I plan on staying indoors. I'll pretend there is a pandemic going on, and am restricted to my man cave.

Howdy everyone.

Must be a cold front coming through if temps are dropping that low Jim! LOL
