    Mornin' BBB.

    Dennis, how 'bout "Marshmallow"?

    Me likes Jim Gaffigan. Comedy doesn't have to be vulgar and profane.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning BBB

    Yesterday got soaked our walk. Looked like a break in the rain so we headed out, but nope. Today is sunny now but supposed to rain off and on. Probabaly should get up and going now but I sure like to drink my coffee first.

    Morning.

    Feeling a bit more human today....good sleep....less cough.

    Today is all COVID meetings.

    I got nothing for a CRV name.

    Good morning.

    I'm pretty sure the folks i work with are discussing Covid from a free market policy perspective, Skip. That's one of the challenges with government care - markets encourage innovation that government can't. Flip side, if course, it's that there's probably not enough $ in it for SuperMegaPharmCo to develop a one-and-done vaccine that only lasts one season.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Glad you are feeling better, Skip.

    I have never named a car, nor any other inanimate posession. For that matter, I don't know anyone who has named a car. Maybe this is an Eastern/Southern thing?

    Good Morning,
    My Saturn was Baby, my Malibu Rose, my Simca Froggy; many not named
    Doctor for me and DW this morning, congestion and coughing all night; says it is allergy season, just wanted to be sure I would not spread to others
    Ambulance and fire rescue coming in subdivision as we were leaving, friend around the corner died about 7 this morning
    Rain and storms again today and through Thursday
    Steph, I've never minded the rain when I knew heat was going to dry very soon; now we are getting so much rain nothing is going to dry out soon, plus highs in 50's here; Denver is 30's today, just thought I'll let you know
    Prayers for those in Tennessee

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Spent the morning with my Tuesday Emmaus Group.
    • Hello Dave, my name is Dennis. Now you know a fool who names his cars. Always have. They become friends.
    • So Mary, Pearl is a good name. The official color is Platinum Pearl White. It got me thinking about other Southern names and I had a long list. Shortened it down to Pearl, Dixie and Sophie. Sophie just sounds right but no final decision yet. You can't rush these things.
    • Glad to hear you are feeling better Skip. Now go fix this COVID thing.
    • Stay dry Sam.

    Good Morning!

    I like I like Sophie, for me though she'd be Sophia (wisdom), but Im Italian so the "ia" is more fitting! But she ain't mine... so its all about you! My black Escape is Jack, jumpin Jack Black! :)

    Its snowing here, not sticking and going to turn to just rain, so they say

    Getter done, Skip! Glad you feel better!

    What happened in TN? Off to go find out. Im not even hearing or watching news these days.

    So sorry about your friend, Sam, may they rip.

    Have a good day BBB!

    Is it awful that CRV looks like an abbreviation for Coronavirus to me? And to go with that a bit ... the first time I saw the word "Coronavirus", it had been mentioned on an AA page that I frequent. I genuinely thought it was a catchy new term for a hangover. That makes sense, right??? "Corona"-VIRUS? But then someone explained it ... ooooooh!

    I have a friend whose suped-up muscle car is "The Beast". The owner is a teensy, pretty little lady, too! (one of my coach friends)

    Sam, I'm so sorry about your friend! How awful.

    Mary, my domestic supervisor advised me it would be Sophia, not Sophie. I didn't say anything but we all have nicknames.

    I'm off to go WI.

    Lisa, I had to go look it up but apparently the "C" in Honda's "CRV" stands for "comfortable." The complete phrase is "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle."
