Bobbie Stacks and Jack Rowell will be there playing some tunes, and bacon-wrapped shrimp will be back. The address is 152 Legion Road in West Memphis, 72301, and I believe the Sunday hours are 3-10. If you&#8217;re there for the bacon-wrapped shrimp I&#8217;d recommend getting there much closer to 3 than to 10.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a link to data analyst James Aycock&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/firstresponses\/status\/1344348080347504640\">COVID-19 mid-week report<\/a>. There will be a COVID task force press conference at noon but I doubt I will be able to listen and recap. I don&#8217;t expect this to be a very notable conference. We&#8217;re in the calm before the storm right now&#8230; numbers are trending downward, but there&#8217;s going to be another surge around January 5-6, as cases caused by transmission over the Christmas holiday start to trickle in.<\/p>\n<p>The state of Tennessee has announced that people 75 and up <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymemphian.com\/section\/metro\/article\/19018\/tennessee-vaccinating-elderly-in-january\">will be eligible<\/a> for the COVID vaccine sometime in January.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon has a 2-month Kindle Unlimited subscription going on where you can read unlimited books for free. I just signed up. Being the end of the month, this may be the last day it&#8217;s offered although I don&#8217;t have confirmation of that.

Y&#8217;all, be extremely careful if you celebrate tonight. Mask up, avoid people as much as you can, and avoid being on the streets at midnight when there will likely be gunshots.
