Last night I was listening to the police scanner. Around 2:00, the supervisor asked what Downtown calls had been holding for a while. There were calls at 310 S. Main, the 200 block of Wagner, and Main and Huling. I hope none of those were important! There was also a report on Nextdoor of gunshots at Front and Nettleton about 12:50. We simply do not have enough police resources down here, and the criminals know it and realize they have run of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

There is a lot going on today, yet only one item that is a must-do: Watch the Grizzlies take on Golden State at 2:30 on ESPN. The winner of today’s game will finish the regular season 8th in the west, and will only have to win one game in the play-in tournament. The loser will finish 9th and will have to win two play-in games.<\/p>\n

Look at this beautiful picture I snapped at Max’s Sports Bar yesterday!<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

What’s beautiful about this picture, you ask?<\/p>\n

The barstools are not socially distanced – you can sit 6 inches away from a person who’s not part of your family or “close contact group”<\/li>\n

No blue tape indicating “you can sit here, but you can’t sit there”<\/li>\n

No X’s in blue tape on the floor indicating “stand here if you’re waiting to order to-go food”<\/li>\n

No seat? No problem! You can drink while standing. You can stand at the bar and order. You can walk around with your drink.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some kind folks at Economy Boat Store brought Rendezvous BBQ<\/a> to the barges that were stranded along the Mississippi for several days.<\/p>\n

Yoga with a familiar name: Instructor Kelcie Zepatos will teach a Kundalini Yoga class<\/a> at The Broom Closet, 552 S. Main, on Monday, June 14 from 4:00 to 5:15 PM. The class is said to focus on breath work and being present in the moment, and Kelcie integrates a variety of approaches into what she teaches. YOGA!<\/p>\n
Interesting link I found yesterday: A rap topics generator.<\/a> You can request a topic on any or all of the following categories: love, life, money, food, school, depression, heartbreak, frustration, racism, or fake friends.<\/p>\n
It’s National Mimosa Day<\/a>. Y’all better get out to Sunday brunch and celebrate that one!<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. I will be out somewhere cheering on the Grizzlies this afternoon, then tonight I will tune in to WWE’s Backlash pay-per-view. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n
