Locally Scott County (where I am) is considering a wear-a-mask
regulation (whatever the legal term would be). Muscatine (the city) is
in Muscatine County. (And if you want to be further confused Des
Moines the state capital, so city, is not in Des Moines county -- the
city is about 180 miles west of me in the center of the state and the county is about 75 miles south of be in the SE part of the state!)
Anyway, as far as the mask requirements go, now there's a bit of a flap because the local regulations are overriding the state's. It's not the local jurisdictions can't (state law allows fireworks, city law
restricts to certain dates and times), but I guess the way the state law/regulation/whatever was classified/phrased.
There was a player for the Miami Dolphins years ago...Bob
Heinz, who wore #57...for the 57 varieties that Heinz had. :P
I wonder if he was related to the Heinz Family?

Since Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson signed an executive
order allowing cities to enact such an ordinance (COVID-19 cases
keep spiking...either from more testing, or folks not using
masks, practicing social distancing, not practicing good hygiene,
etc.). So, several more cities besides Little Rock and
Fayetteville have done so, or are planning to do so.

It might be. There is Heinz Stadium in Pittsburgh, if I
remember right. Yet, the college is known with the Panthers, and
the pro team is known with the Steelers.
Which may cause friction: some (a lot?) of people don't like being told what to do, but will do the same thing if asked nicely.
"Steelers" probably has more to do with the steel industry, though
sounds like the a form of thievery which would 'strike terror in the hearts of innocents'.

Well, it may be a matter of life and death for my brother. When
he called me yesterday, it sounded like he was on his deathbed.
They did an EGD on him this morning, but they didn't find any
signs of bleeding in the stomach (i.e. an ulcer). Yet, they did
some biopsies, to check for possible pre-esophageal cancer.
Yet, they're going to tell him he has to STOP smoking (killing
his lungs), STOP drinking beer (killing his liver), and HAVE a
colonoscopy done. I think those 3 have as much chance of
happening, as the Pope renouncing Catholicism, or Hell freezing
over.

True. Sadly, we've grown into a world where it's wrong to
offend people.
Well, first hope he does go through and exchange some unhealthy habits
for healthy ones. OTOH he could argue (and probably will) others have smoked and drank and lived to be over 100. He's not the others. For
him might be better to really cut back as opposed to quit: one
cigarette a day, one 8 oz. bottle of beer a day (better define size -
not a 42 ouncer or whatever size) - that way he has something to enjoy
and look forward to as opposed to 'everything I enjoy has been removed' attitude. His mind works differently from everyone else's, same as I
think and react differently from anyone else.
I'm sort of thinking that is the problem: offending people has always
been wrong; doing it on purpose more wrong, Not correcting the
attitude even more so. We (generic) have gone into an over-correcting attitude, almost of a paranoia, where anything remotely indicating a difference is wrong. Hard to explain as it's a concept and not a rule.
I did a theatrical performance about puns. It was a play on words.

Good points. The thing is, he has had a problem sleeping well,
as he is so bummed up now from the arthritis, from the freak
motorcycle wreck 13 years ago that almost killed him (because he
was impatient), that I never know when he may be sleeping. So, I
told him to call me if he needs to talk. If I'm awakened, I can
usually go back to sleep in short order...he can't. It's not that
I'm "letting sleeping dogs lie", but he's going to be angry
enough about giving those things up, or cutting them back...I
don't need bothering him to add to it.

That's like folks thing certain things are a right...but they
are actually an earned privilege. And, the privilege can be as
easily taken away, as it was granted.

Does the girdle fit?? Of corset does. <G>
Yes, if your brother has no set sleeping schedule there's a good possibility of you calling when he is sleeping -- the Never Fails
Dep't. As for bringing up the cutting back, bring up when flows with
the conversation, and maybe more as an option: "what would happen if you...". Possibly as a joke lead-in: "I'm tired 'cause I had to pee
every hour 'cause of all the beer" ...<small talk...> "Hey I know how
to fix that: drink less!"
That is what they forget: some things (a lot of things!) are a
privilege and not a right. The Miranda statement should probably be rephrased from "you have the right to an attorney at no charge" [paraphrasing] to "you have the privilege to an attorney at no charge".

Had a side-note on baseball: there was a squeeze play.

Well, I have nocturia, but that comes from drinking over a half
gallon of green tea a day.
I slept better last night than I did the night before, but I'm<moved tagline up>
groggy as all get out...as if I took an Ibuprofen toward sunrise.
But, with all that liquid, the colon is on overdrive as well...at
least I have plenty of toilet paper (TMI)...but, the tagline
below applies to all of us.
... We all have to go sometime. Where's the toilet??

Really. It's also as if people feel they have a "right" to go
to Heaven, and do what they want...but it's actually a
"privilege"...and how to enter is so simple. Hint: Your good
deeds don't cut the mustard, or stir the mayo.

I've been wondering WHO (he's on first) was the player in right
field. :P

Could take an antidiuretic which woul defeat the purpose of all that
tea!
Why am I visualizing a funeral with the deceased on a toilet and the
widow saying "he looks so natural"?!
There are no rights to anything. What we consider as 'rights' are privileges earned for doing the right thing.

Probably something like 'Lefty'!

I'd rather have the nocturia, than to worry about kidney
stones.

Just like in one of the bulletins on the BBS. These "twits"
think it's their "right" to be on the system. No, it's a Sysop
given privilege. I consider myself a Visiting Sysop when I logon
to other systems, which is rare today. I have too much else going
on in life outside my hobbies.
