Got a text from my daughter in Buffalo

Apparently the strip bars are open but the bowling alleys are still off limits.

Local gym moved everything outside and the cops shut him down. My daughter a member of the gym said the equipment was put around the perimeter of the parking lot and everything was a good 20' apart.

She wants to know the difference between aerobics and stripping on a pole? She said on the bright side no one was tear gassed when they protested.

She said meanwhile the casinos are also open and have been for awhile. I've been to the casino local twice in my life, alls I see is old folks pissing their money away. Shouldn't the vulnerable old folks be staying at home?

(My daughter is brutal and sarcastic.)

Go figure.

The world doesn't make sense.

At the bowling alleys, the owners proposed making the customers wash their balls after the game. I wonder if the strip bars have equal sanitation rules?

called 'Stars and Strikes'. It was a Saturday morning, so, as I expected, a number of kids were bowling in a junior league. They took up about half the lanes, the other half of which were sectioned off as 'The VIP Area'. My take on the VIP Area was that the decor was similar to the lap dance area in the movie Showgirls.

Took pole dancing classes a few years back. It was really fun. My arms were way too weak to do anything fancy.

I also was into bellydancing back in the 80s. Really fun, highly recommended. (not related, sorry)
