Was 78f and sunny here is Chiraq, so I took out the Trek and rode around the city. My fav futuristic bike trail was closed, and I was REALLY tempted to just lift my bike over the blockade and chance riding on it solo. But I didn't. I found other great streets to ride on. SO many people were out jogging biking, playing frisbee, etc.. Everyone was keeping their social distance, and the groups playing together were small. 75% of them were wearing masks. Lots of bike cops out just keeping watch and not bothering anyone. It's gonna be back into the 40s starting tomorrow, so everybody's making this gift of a day count.

My 18 yo boy just got back from Humboldt County. He lost his job, then his apartment, and didn't tell me or his mom. He was broke and homeless and sleeping outside for a couple of weeks before he decided to let us know. I'm kind or proud of him for not wanting to ask for help, but the virus was heading his way, and it's no time for roughing it. I flew him back yesterday for pretty cheap, and all his flights were empty af. I hear the airlines are starting to cut many routes, so this was good timing. I put him up in an extended stay place for quarantine for 2 weeks before he will split his time between my place and his mom's. I haven't seen him for 18 months, I told him I'm gonna hug him so long that it's gonna be awkward. A client who lives near his hotel came to pick up some herb, and agreed to take a care package to my boy in the hotel which consisted of a half oz. of OG Kush, a gram oil cart with a battery and charger, some papers, and a little glass bowl with a screen. He called me up almost in tears he was so happy. He should sleep for a couple days straight after his recent adventures and turbulent flights back home. Nice to be able to put him up and keep him safe until the world gets back to normal.
He may be a big boy now (at 16 yo here)-

But he'll always look like this to me -
