the ' Dandelion War '

 a daily torching is keeping the lawn looking virgin - puff balls and yellowheads are doomed.
But bet on the dandelions. However, the lawn matches the neighbours who go out on hand and knees and yank out the verminous weeds.

Warm and humid is the standard for us. And the A/C quit. Our usual service people got us a appointment for June 21 - a month out. I called an alternate vendor and the guy came yesterday dinner time.
Sad, sad the A/C died. Actually, its the compressor not functioning but labour and parts are 1/2 the cost of the unit and we get a 14 yr old piece.
Thus, new A/C coming in. In days, not a month. The Reliance contract dept isn't open this weekend < holiday > The upshot is we may get a new A/C on the same day we cancel w/ the Reliance service.

The CV 19 situation, sitrep. Numbers are in a downward trend. BUT this is May long weekend and the                  ' unofficial ' start to summer. Picnics, fireworks and getaways upnorth are the events of ' May - two - four ' as it is nicknamed. Please note that  ' two - four ' is the nickname of a case of beer.
Warnings went out that even though some restrictions have eased, care is required. WE SHALL SEE said the zen master, in a soft voice.

And medically, I've had a bump akin to an insect bite on my neck. Friday irritating and today Sunday inflammed. The thought is that my general allergic reaction to irritants has kicked in. To that end, I popped a 24 h anithistamine and am treating the bump / rash as if it were a plant allergy < which it could be, likely ' dandelion fever ' >.
