=============================

It's been an eventful week at our household too. We started with a frantic call last Sunday that the teen in our house used so much toilet paper that he plugged the main sewer line and then took a shower. Our main drain backed up and flooded the basement and got the carpet, baseboard trim and sheetrock wet in our two month old house. We were out for the day and came home to that horror. Our A/C also wasn't functioning yet so we had to work through that. We needed it to help dehumidify the downstairs, plus it's been super humid outside the first part of the week. Our garage and front doors were painted. We had window cleaners doing the insides and outsides and screens.

And then just as that was settling down, an incredible tragedy occurred not 20 miles from our home in Minneapolis which by now, I'm sure you're all aware of the details. So wrong. I just heard that they FINALLY arrested the one main Minneapolis cop that was kneeling on George Floyd's neck. But in the meantime, much of the city is destroyed and on fire. There is understandably so much pain in the community, but I don't see how destroying your own neighborhood benefits anyone or gets them to listen to you. This is a very dark chapter in our state's history.

Praying for peace and understanding,

Dave

Oh my word, this puts my grazed knee into perspective. Stay safe @Dave, with your sweetie.

The world feels like a shocking place at the moment. George Floyd did not deserve to die as he did. The huge outpouring of anger and grief is understandable, but the level of destruction makes no sense.
I’ve read so many reports describing the level of fear felt by those who are ‘different’ and how they feel threatened just because of the colour of their skin, the impact that has on perceptions of them ... I feel for our children and grandchildren and the world they will inherit.

@kar328 - what an interesting selection of wildlife. I also get the too many people. We went for a bike ride along the Prom today. It was so busy. Fine weather, Eid and a easing of lockdown .... ironically R is about 0.7 in London and 1.7 in my region. We didn’t need the coast to be filled with tourists from a city 50 miles away!! Covid-19 patient numbers in my local hospital are currently climbing

The June thread is up. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10798640/june-2020-move-your-challenge#latest

SOOO close. I didn't get a ride in the past 3 days, but I'm shooting for the same miles for June.

Adding 25.46 miles





I hope everyone is staying safe.

Sorry I am late!!! I found a camp ground with an opening this last week and just got home!!!! So I swam, paddled and walked/ hiked 23 some odd miles

My final total is 94 miles very surprising

Well here I am putting in my last four days. Too much work.
Dave: What a tragic situation and what a tragic response. Violence is not how we respond to violence. It gives me great peace to know that a God will someday right the wrong and no man will escape their actions on this earth.
