I was already good at social distancing. Yesterday it was tested when a couple of 30 somethings walked by having a heated argument.
I'm sure there is a lot of that right now. They didn't see me in my hiding place but I saw him shove her.
I was like "oh crap, I didn't want to put my hands on anyone today" I didn't have to.
Across the street some Latino-mericans were roofing.
I mention their ethnicity to clarify that until Mr.Shovesworth got handsy, they had been happily hammering and shouting/singing in Spanish.
Now they had all stopped and were looking at him and/or the ladder.
He realized it was decidedly unhealthy to pursue his course of actions so he promptly effed off.
Thanks Fellas!
We are two pro clowns who live in a 1922 bungalow in Portland Oregon. Every few days people from around the world come through and stay in the rooms. We clowns can ignore them or be very helpful. We don't own the house but we do love it. Sometimes we become "single serving friends" having adventures with the guests. People ask if we work here. Nope we are just the clowns who live in the attic.

Covid days. Today the last of the guests left.
We had a great week with a lady from Thailand who was in town doing a coffee lab. I didn't ask what that was but she delighted me by gifting a lot of coffee from her work.
We had dinner together after she made us an authentic curry. My mouth is still on fire.
She said everyone in her country are very quiet and it's fun for her to see Olive and I always singing to each other and dancing, making out and carrying on. The other room was a young couple from Utah.
They are technically Mormons but actually were here to get a break from those people. The first thing they asked was "Where is the legal weed?"
They bought some down the street and then commenced rolling giant joints. I didn't share with them as normal. We talked about people who leave their church but don't leave the church alone.
Interesting convos.
Now they are off, the rooms are closed and we are battening down the hatches to protect the owner of our house who is in the danger age range.

Our "shadow roomie" has left.
We only see her shadow as she quickly goes to the bathroom.
Other than that, it was like having someone in your house but never seeing them.
They only come out when you are gone.
That is cool with me. I'm very antisocial so good on her.
It was still odd for some reason.
We finally saw her after 4 days when she was leaving. I was like "Wow, I had no idea you were a black businesswoman from the South.
I thought you were a pair of Canadians on vacation.
So many people go thru I get them mixed up.
When the room got cleaned, it was clear why she sequestered herself for so long.
Her wastebasket was full of pot food wrappers.
30 of them.
Makes sense why she didn't want to interact with the clowns.
I wouldn't either.

6 hours of Portland rent
This lady keeps asking Olive to walk her dog for $5 a day. That is $5 or aprox. 6 hours of Portland rent.
Not gonna happen.
Ironically she was rude to our teen son who has the time and thinks $5 is a fortune but unfortunately she burned that bridge the first day.
I don't think he is fashionable enough for the dog anyway.
