(South Bay ones don't seem to be on the closed list.)

b1-66er: Guess it's time to go set one on fire. 

K: Wait, contradictory info. This says just the Oakland one.

https://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2020/05/an-update-on-temporary-target-store-closures-due-t

Looks like the update is correct. Just Oakland around here.

Riot Season Playoffs

b1-66er: What was the Biggest Deal that happened last night in the Bay Area?

Special K: I don't know what happened here. Riots in SF, maybe.

K: The riots, or that I don't know?

b1: That you don't automatically know. 

K: I know it wasn't sports. 

b1: Solid. 

Fix the crack, then fix the pipe

Special K: "I bet Canada feels like they live in the apartment above a meth lab right about now."

Logarithmically speaking

Special K: "According to the CDC, so far this year, Florida has had 1,762 deaths from #COVID and 5,185 from pneumonia.

The freedom to self-imprision

b1-66er: "'Disney Parks faces backlash for requiring guests to wear masks: 'Masks should be optional'"

There's no question I'm an expert on LV travel and I say "no way..."

No opening date set for the casinos. 

No opening date set for red rock. 

No scheduled concerts or shows of any type. 

K: Oh, I just meant it's cheap. I'm sure there's little to do.

K: Exactly. 

b1: Shrewd.

Fragments of yesterday

Special K: Followup from yesterday. "On 5/3/2020 at approximately 4:00pm, a resident in Saratoga, California was digging trenches to install a sprinkler system in his backyard and found two grenades and a mortar shell. The resident immediately called 9-1-1 to report his findings

"An Alert SCC message was sent out to nearby residents advising to shelter-in-place for their safety. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad responded and safely detonated the grenades and mortar shell in a remote location at Congress Springs Park. Thankfully, no one was injured. Great work by everyone involved!"

b1-66er: Heavy. 

Nice sleuthing. 

Okay... WHY were they there? Was there military stuff out there?

K: They did a metal detector sweep and found nothing else. No info yet on why or who did it, but they look old.

"The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is working an event at Congress Springs Park , the Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad will

be on scene detonating two hand grenades. Please stay away from the park for the next hour and shelter in place at residence."

That's unconfirmed, could be fake.
