Happy Memorial Day!

Tuesday, May 26, 2020

On Memorial Day yesterday, people flocked to newly reopened beaches and parks, many not wearing masks or social distancing. Officials warned that it was not safe to go unprotected yet and that new spikes in COVID cases could occur. Even government Memorial Day activities were affected. For instance, the honorary burials had far fewer troops in attendance, and the flag was not directly handed off to the nearest kin. Also, some countries have reopened their schools. They have introduced new safety measures such as mandatory masks, distancing, and splitting classes into smaller groups. Despite such efforts, France’s schools have closed again after 12 confirmed cases of coronavirus. In Michigan, the crisis has deepened, with two dams overflowing and sending hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes.

THIS IS THE SECOND TO LAST WEEK OF THIS SEASON

Monday, May 18, 2020

Memorial Day is just a week away, and many states are reopening their beaches, although with some regulations. New York has decided to keep its beaches closed entirely, while some southern states have imposed regulations, including but not limited to social distancing, masks, and no picnicking. In China, Hong Kong has imposed stricter travel regulations to prevent the spread of COVID-19. All international travelers must be tested and state where they are staying. After spending time in quarantine after the test, they can go to their hotel, which they cannot leave. What will the movies look like when this is all over? Right now, many shows and movies are being streamed home. Will that continue to be the new norm? Not quite. Theaters will obviously fight to stay open, and many film companies want to premiere their movies in theaters to try to become a blockbuster. But you can expect many low budget films to appear directly into your streaming service. Near Florida, a tropical storm has formed off the coast before the official storm season. Scientists don't know how strong it will get and where it will go, and they are hoping it will simply pass by the coast, dropping a little rain.

James Rennie begins sending all of Barbara's remaining friends into exile or jail, including the town's only doctor and journalist. Meanwhile, the kids have found what appears to be the epicenter of the dome, and it has a border around it that is apparently both radioactive and causes visions. Also, most of the children have had spasms in which they see pink stars falling or a Halloween disaster. The pink stars have already happened. They looked that way due to the pollution collecting on the inner surface of the Dome. Outside, Barbie's friend, Colonel James O. Cox is planning a strike against Rennie. He has uncovered evidence of tax fraud, drugs, etc, all of which are true and Rennie is racing to destroy while the Dome is down.

It's a normal October day in Chester's Mill, Suddenly people traveling between the Mill and its surrounding cities collide with a dome that came out of nowhere. It slices animals in half as it comes down, and birds crash into it by the thousands. Trapped inside the Dome are Dale Barbara, a retired Army captain now called upon to take control; James Rennie, the sinister leader of the town; and many ill mannered teenagers. Although Barbara is the declared leader, Rennie knows the outside cannot do anything, and refuses to relinquish control. He hires the bad boys as policemen, who soon subdue, rape, and kill the people of the town.
