Quarantine Day #169.
Last night I went to bed at 10:30, got up once during
the night, waking at 5:30 and getting up at 6am.
Last night I played 4
games on Chess.com, winning 2 and losing 2. My new rating is 1222.
Teresa left at 6:45 to
go to eps to get an appointment to have her thyroid checked.
I left the apt at 7:30
in 65-degree weather. I walked out the back way by the Teresiano High School to
Avenida Poblado. I turned south and took a swing around Aymará back
across Avenida Poblado and through the little park with the green tunnel. I walked
down the hill and past the little church in the park to Avenda Las Vegas. From
there north then thru the gas station and back to the apt. I was hoping that
would be an hour but it was only 45 minutes.
Glenn texted me about
10am and asked if I wanted to meet him for coffee at Viva Envigado. I said “sure”
and we met outside the main entrance at 10:45. We went in to Todo Fresa
where we had coffee. James joined us about an hour later. At one point I went
upstairs to the food court and saw 3 groups of 3 people sitting at tables so I think
it will be ok for Jose and I to play chess there next Tuesday. They left about
1pm and I walked across the street where I met Teresa for lunch at Bocados
Bar. It soon started raining and we waited a bit for it to lessen before
returning to the apt by 2:45.
It was nice to get out
of the apt for a change. I think I can probably stop my self quarantine count
now. Hopefully, we won’t have to go through that again.
Today I beat Teresa in
parcheesi 6 games to 1.
Former
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) has an
op-ed in the Detroit Free Press today, arguing that he's still a
Republican who'll support GOP candidates up and down the ballot, but he's
nevertheless endorsing Joe Biden's Democratic presidential candidacy.
The former
governor's endorsement appears designed to coincide with the launch of a larger
bipartisan effort. Reuters reported this
morning:
Nearly 100 Republican and independent
leaders will endorse Democrat Joe Biden for president on Thursday, including one-time
2020 Republican presidential candidate Bill Weld and the former Republican
governors of Michigan and New Jersey, people involved in the effort told
Reuters.... Called ‘Republicans and Independents for Biden’, the group is
headed by Christine Todd Whitman, a former Republican governor of New Jersey
who has become one of Trump’s fiercest critics and who spoke at the recent
Democratic National Convention in support of Biden.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who
calls himself “a kid from Scranton,” has lost his wide lead over President
Trump in his native Pennsylvania, where the 2020 presidential race is a dead
heat.
The latest Rasmussen Reports poll showed that both are tied at
46%.
And, significantly, said the poll
analysis, among the 82% of voters who said that they are “certain” how they
will vote, Trump holds a 51%-49% advantage.
Rasmussen is the second poll in two days
to show the race in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, has become a tie.
The Monmouth University Poll said Wednesday that Biden had
a lead of 1 to 3 points.
A poll that predicted a close race between Donald Trump and
Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election shows Democratic nominee Joe
Biden holding a commanding lead over the Republican incumbent with just two
months left before election day.
The Investors Business Daily and TechnoMetrica Market
Intelligence's latest TIPP poll found Biden was backed by 49 percent of
registered voters, putting him eight points ahead of Trump on 41 percent
support.
According to the pollster's past surveys, Biden held a 7-point
lead over Trump at the start of August and a similar 8-point lead at the start
of July, meaning his rating in the tracker poll has remained level over the
past few months.
Polls show Trump and GOP
senators losing in Arizona, Wisconsin and North Carolina — states Trump won in
2016
Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz.,
trails retired astronaut Mark Kelly by
17 points in a new Fox News poll that
had plenty of bad news for Republicans up for re-election in November.
The poll shows Kelly leading McSally
56-39 among likely voters after another recent poll showed the incumbent
Republican losing by 19 points.
Harvard Law Professor
Laurence Tribe tweeted “I was just
testing whether this state can detect voter fraud when I showed up to vote a
second time” — is about as good a defense as: “I broke into the bank just to
test whether it has a good alarm system.”
The
US has 6,087,779 ð 6,117115 ð 6,154,383 coronavirus cases
with 184,500+ ð 185,200+ ð 186,300+ deaths.
Per
Medellin Guru, as of this afternoon Colombia has a total of 624,069 ð 633,339 ð 641,574 cases with 20,618 deaths. Medellin has 47,937 ð 48,689 ð 48,968 cases, an increase of 278 from September 2nd
to 3rd. Envigado has a total of 2,556 cases, an increase of 47 from September
2nd to 3rd.
Joke of
the day
I picked up
a hitchhiker last night. He seemed
surprised that I’d pick up a stranger and asked, “Thanks but why would you pick
me up? How do you know I’m not a serial
killer?”
I told him
the chances of two serial killers being in the same car must be astronomical.
