We have one last soccer game tomorrow and then I think we'll get some time to ourselves. Which means working on more honey-do list chores. I need a vacation.
A vacation would just result in more things to do around the house.
You're thinking a staycation. I'm saying that I need to get away.
Yes, that would be lovely. I fondly remember vacations.

Good morning, 2020Refugees.  One red light.  Would have made it if not for a slowpoke in front of me. But it's Friday, so I'll try to let it go.
Good morning, RoadRageMark.

Finally a use for drones which doesn't involve ogling a sunbathing neighbor.

Not as much fun, but definitely a more practical use.

What's wrong with ogling sunbathers?

The article is interesting but I'm a bit confused. They are going to combat wildfires by setting more fires?

I had to watch the video to figure it out. Basically, the drone sets fire to the dead wood and underbrush that would make the current fire rage out of control, making it easier for the firefighters to contain it.

COVID-19 vaccines are almost ready to be distributed. Who gets them after health care workers? Here's a list:

Yes, sometimes called a "backfire".  Creates a fire break in the path of the main fire.  Here's more info so you can switch the discussion from politics at the Thanksgiving dinner table.  https://www.ctif.org/news/prevention-control-using-back-fire-combat-wildfire

Man, it's interesting how criminals are prioritized with teachers and child care workers.  Clothing, shelter, three squares a day, healthcare, and pandemic vaccine prioritization.  Crime does pay!
