I reflected when I awoke about bars and clubs still unable to open. I remembered a few people told me they were glad when the bars opened for the first time, before the second closing, because they needed to have a drink or two. I wondered about that and found there are individuals who do not drink in their homes or can not indulge in drinking at home. My thought was why not? Don’t these people know where the liquor store is located? In my state one can purchase wine and beer at the grocery store. Hard liquor spirits along with beer and wine can be found in the liquor stores, that never closed during this pandemic. Odd I felt as it is really cheaper to purchase from the stores than pay prices at bars and clubs. But then this is my personal opinion.
I think about these individuals being first in line to get into the bar or club as no doubt there will be restrictions on the percent of indoor occupancy.
Thinking about that I believe had to do with my AUGUST acrostic. I am, I feel, being truthful in this piece. Once the okay for bars and clubs to open again, of course like before, there will be restrictions; such as occupancy inside, social distancing and perhaps having temperatures taken. I’ve been to a veterans club that opened recently again; they have guidelines to follow. One is that patrons temperatures must be taken. It is quite easy these days with a hand held temperature scanner. There is no touching one person by another; not like old days thermometer in your mouth or even in the ear. Unfortunately I am sure there will be some individuals causing problems with the guidelines at the clubs/bars. I also know these places will be monitored to insure they are following the regulations set forth.
My second verse is about the last few weeks of summer from my childhood. I got the most out of the last few weeks before school resumed. The thoughts came to my mind for some reason. Think it had to do with the fact kids are returning back to school. As a kid I wanted to get in as much summer fun those last weeks of August.
Today is Saturday and the beginning of the weekend. Enjoy your day.
Until tomorrow....as always Stay Safe.

August 29th....DAILY REFLECTIONS
I wonder about some people....upset they
can’t go out to drink as the bars and
clubs still closed....why can’t they have
drinks at home
I learned during the first club and bar
closing that there were some people who
said they don’t drink at home or can’t
drink at home....why is that....don’t they
know where the liquor store is located
I can just see those people venturing out
once the places open....bet they will
make sure to be first in line to get inside
due the requirement capacity....I can
just see it now....sorry we are at 50%
capacity at the moment....please
you need to wait till someone
leaves....this sure is the new
normal

All await the reopening of the clubs and
bars
Unfortunately to date in my state they are
still closed
Going to be a mad dash once they open
for many individuals to get out to their
favorite watering hole
Unaware to a few patrons that guidelines
will be in place when this occurs
Some people will complain about the
regulations and perhaps refuse to
comply
Then if the business gets a violation for
noncompliance they are the ones to
blame

MEMORIES of AUGUST
© Scottie-ann Murphy
A cherry popsicle on a hot August
afternoon
It drips upon the scorching sidewalk
Making my hands and face sticky
Summertime memory of my youth
An ice cold tumbler of lemonade on a hot
August afternoon
Sweat dripping from the vessel as I sip the
tart beverage
Quenching my thirst after play
Summertime memory of my youth
Running barefoot under the sprinkler on a
hot August afternoon
Cooling off myself, I become drenched
Water droplets drip from me upon the grass
Summertime memory of my youth
Riding my bike to the park on a hot August
afternoon
Swinging on the swing, going high to the
sky
Climbing on the monkey bars, trying to
reach the clouds
Summertime memory of my youth
Beach days on a hot August afternoon
Building castles, burying my feet and legs in
the sand
Swimming in the cool waters of Lake
Michigan
Summertime memory of my youth
Waiting for the Good Humor Man on a warm
August evening
The coins jingle in my pocket
Sitting on the porch steps patient for his
approach
Summertime memory of my youth
Lightning bug catching on a warm August
evening
Placing them in the jar, to light my way
Trying to see who collects the most
Summertime memory of my youth
Those days and nights of August
Wonderful memories I relive in my mind
The simple fun I once enjoyed in my youth
During the Dog Days of August
