Our week went by quickly and with HOT weather (heat index over 100 everyday). Not much news, still worried about COVID-19 and the reopening of schools. Florida seems hell-bent on opening and we are so against it (especially with no masks and what about the hazard to the teachers?). The number of positives is alarming. Our 30 - 45 days of "sheltering at home" has been all for not. The bars have been ordered closed again.
Monday, I had my first group golf lesson with just ladies, LPGA professional Stephanie is farthest away in photo. My group lessons has Annette, Joy, Becka and Shannon (youngest). One more lady to join this coming Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday, I kept up with Mom's projects (LSL, Maine): New windows and door overlooking the lakeside, and a new stove in her kitchen. All looks good!

Thursday after the two-day NFJG Dr. Ira tournament was over, Ford was too pooped to cook, so we enjoyed take-out from Talon's. At work, we had cupcakes to celebrate Stacy's birthday and Chris Doyle said Happy Birthday to Robert Stanley via text.
And the SJRPP train continues to move rail cars full of metal/scrap for recycling!
Friday, I practiced my golf putting with AA and also enjoyed a wine on the Talon's patio - outside in broiling heat! Back at home, Ford made bruschetta with his home-grown tomatoes!
And a happy photo of AA.
More divisiveness in America, so sad that many people are going to have to endure the COVID-19 when masks will help:
WASHINGTON — A bitter dispute erupted in a congressional hearing room on Friday, with Republicans refusing to wear face coverings and Democrats insisting that they do so.
“Why is this so complicated?” a frustrated Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said at one point in response to Republican intransigence, speaking through what appeared to be an N95 respirator. “There’s one thing we can do to try to protect other people when we’re together, which is put on a mask. It doesn’t cost us anything. Why would we not do that? Why is it some kind of macho thing, like, ‘If I don’t wear a mask, I’m tough’?”
Republicans did not appear to be moved by his appeals, or those of other Democrats. The charge against mask wearing was led by Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., a physician who was also a major in the U.S. Army. Green said he could “cite many other professionals” who advised against protective face coverings. Green did not proceed to cite any such professionals.
Surgical masks and respirators can keep particles of the coronavirus from spreading, but President Trump and many of his allies in the Republican Party have cast the coverings as a symbol of liberal overreaction and onerous statism. Virtually every public health agency in the nation, including most prominently the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recommends the wearing of face masks in public.
Doing so could cut down viral transmission by as much as 85 percent, according to the World Health Organization.
