Follow up on recent posts: Covid and political signs

Remember in a recent post I bragged about how well New Mexico was doing with covid? For weeks we had about 100 new cases a day. That was 100 too many, but it wasn’t an alarming amount compared to our neighboring states of Arizona and Texas, which were way out of control.

But suddenly, last week, our numbers started rising. Instead of around 100 new cases each day, it was 200 and then 300 and then 400, and every day was worse and worse. Wednesday was 577 new cases and yesterday was 672! I have no idea what’s going on. But I’ll tell you this – I’m not going to go anywhere!

Also in that same post I mentioned a Biden political sign with a play on words (just biden our time). I was going to put that one up in my front yard but John hates political signs. So we compromised and I put it up inside my courtyard where no one can see it. I think I lost that compromise, lol!

If anyone local wants it and is willing to come by, I’ll leave it on my porch for you, just let me know. It isn’t doing any good hidden in my courtyard!

Here is another Biden pun on our street.

We have a mixed neighborhood and there are also a few Trump signs, but I haven’t seen any puns on the pro-trump signs. They mostly just say something about making America great. Except one I saw that said something about “stop the bullshit,” which was funny, but not “haha” funny. Funny in an ironic and crazy way. Like seriously, who is the one spewing BS on twitter? Ok, deep breath, this will be over soon.

On our walk this morning I looked down and noticed this cute little rock someone painted and set out near the sidewalk. It was nearly hidden and hard to spot, so when I suddenly noticed it out of the corner of my eye, it made me smile.

Maybe John and I can compromise with a little Biden-Harris hand-painted rock subtly lurking on the ground somewhere near our mailbox 🙂
