Anyone else felt like, they squandered while the virus annihilate half the population? I feel like I did nothing these past five weeks.

Yes! We taught our daughter how to drive--sitting on our laps, parked in the driveway, keys not in the ignition--when she was 5.Seven year old daughter "Daddy I think am ready to start driving lessons"
She could reach the clutch pedal...but...not...quite depress it all the way... so we did that. What fun shifting gears and steering! Do it, @joe71!

Going to take a huge break off my social media web sites,
maybe on here too. Just need to get my mentality in order.

I hope you're okay, Milo. You know you're always welcome to PM me.
I'm wearing the shirt I had on when the paramedics took me to the ER; this is on the front:
The back has a beautiful, large graphic of a cat and dog.
The nurses started to cut it off of me.
I mustered up all my strength to say 'no.' So they propped me up and took it off the normal way. It was the first item placed in my "patient's belongings" bag.
Six months later, when I was released, that bag got buried under various other things I'd acquired while hospitalized. As that pile went down, the bag reappeared, and the shirt was laundered. I couldn't even look at it for a long time...things still seemed too tenuous then.
Today I'm happily wearing it!

People find the craziest things to argue about!

The OP wondered if anyone knew what was going on. [Trust me, mass gatherings of squad cars is not a common sight here.] One person pointed out that there were LA Sheriffs' cars in the pic, and wondered why, since, given the location, they thought the Arcadia PD would have authority. It devolved from there...
Somehow--and I still haven't figured out HOW--politics came into it. Really?! Politics...because someone wondered why there were a bunch of squad cars?! *sigh*
I ended up laughing at the bullshit--and leaving without jumping into the fray. *SMH*

Hahaha that is a true thing, just jump out of the frying bull crap and into the ice.
Yeah, I didn't want any part of it. But I may pop back in there to see if anyone knew why all those squad cars were there...but I won't say a word!

I would just simply wait for the morning's paper to cover it anyways.
The only local paper I read is the LA Times, and for Arcadia to get mentioned in it, it has to be something noteworthy.
Some examples: all the racing horse deaths [that made the national news] last year at Santa Anita; an Arcadia High student being one of only 11, worldwide, to get a perfect score on the AP Calculus test; a murder(!) last year [turned out to be someone she knew, as are virtually all of the small handful of murders in the last 20+ years]; and so on. This isn't likely to be picked up.
I do get a weekly crime report from Ring. A typical report contains one or two--if any--incidents, and they're things like 'package stolen from porch.' Not too exciting. Here's one I took a screenshot of for some reason:
If I find out at all it'll be on NextDoor. I could call the APD and/or the LASD to ask what happened, but I can't see bothering them over it.
Maybe on Twitter...
mixing beige and red flowers obviously. WHO DOEZ THAT! SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

Last year when I was home we were in a parking lot that was empty and I let her sit on my lap as we drove around in circles, I let her control the steering wheel. ( I keep my hands close by though) she had such a fun timeYes! We taught our daughter how to drive--sitting on our laps, parked in the driveway, keys not in the ignition--when she was 5.

Ya know, if you did mix in beige with crimson colors... That might turn out okay for a rich wood, like holly or white oak, you might have a kind of strange artwork for the living room.Bwaaaahhh! I just spit out some of my coffee!

I emailed my sister ten times already.
Strange how she only replied once.
Even with dealing with a puppy and our two best friends.
Still... Even she will not breathe from time to time.

Arcadia made the news!
Arcadia Fire Department Battalion Chief Kevin Valentine took one last ride on a fire truck, heading home to retirement after a distinguished 30-year career:
His neighbors had planned a huge celebration, but instead turned out in force along the street as his engine drove by.
As a very grateful recipient of the excellent care the AFD provides, I want to wish Chief Valentine all the best as he starts this new chapter, and thank him for a job well done.

First time I tweeted an image of my sister on twitter. First time I will ever type and say that.

She's in his household. You're not required to wear masks when you're with your household members.
She didn't go near any non-household members, so she was fine.
Double Stuf? My favorite vegan snack!
But...um...durian?
I could smell yours all the way from China!
