I am sick and tired of the #stayhome hashtag but today it&#8217;s worth heeding.<\/p>\n<p>The A.W. Willis bridge has already on the island. If you live on the island and have the misfortune of having to go to work today, you&#8217;ll need to use the back (Second St.) exit.<\/p>\n<p>The poor kids&#8230; this&#8217;d normally be a snow day. Now it&#8217;s just another virtual learning day.<\/p>\n<p>COVID will <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymemphian.com\/article\/19889\/memphis-basketball-covid-19-postpones-cincinnati\">postpone<\/a> what would have been the University of Memphis vs. Cincinnati game tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The Memphis Flyer has a feature called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.memphisflyer.com\/memphis\/your-hearts-desire-local-restaurants-offer-valentines-take-out-specials\/Content?oid=24779478\">Your Heart&#8217;s Desire<\/a> featuring Valentine&#8217;s Day takeout from local restaurants.

Look out for falling limbs if you have to get out.<\/p>\n<p>I watched an episode of <em>Gomer Pyle USMC<\/em> last night. For those not familiar, that&#8217;s a spinoff of <em>The Andy Griffith Show<\/em> where good ol&#8217; boy gas station attendant Gomer joins the Marines. On last night&#8217;s episode, Sergeant Carter shouted at Gomer for having non-regulation items in his foot locker. Among those items: A plastic troll for good luck. Yep, trolls were a thing even in 1965. It&#8217;s important for trolls to appreciate their ancestry so I moved Perjorie and Mendatius in front of the TV.<\/p>\n<p>Since I work across the street, I have no excuse for not going to work. I&#8217;ll be out at Blind Bear a little after 1. Going to go ahead and get this posted, in case this is the only source of news some of my readers check.
