NM GOVERNOR CLOSING GROCERY STORES

Southeast New Mexico suffers from store closures

ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) – The list of businesses that need to close for two weeks after four or more rapid response visits, is growing. In southeast New Mexico grocery stores in several communities had to close, some towns only have one grocery store open now, leading to long lines.

Gov. Lujan Grisham: Limit non-household contact as COVID-19 cases spike across New Mexico

“Before they thought well, the virus is not, it’s not going to affect me but when it starts to affect their family, now they are starting to understand it’s real,” said Nick Cruz, a concerned resident.

The New Mexico Health Department shut down two grocery stores in Roswell because of too many rapid responses due to COVID-19 exposures. In Carlsbad and Hobbs, they are down to one grocery store in each community after the other was closed for two weeks by the Health Department. Residents say this is causing some people to panic.

“The governor put in a new edict, I knew things would be crazy, and I’m not crazy, but if everybody else is crazy, then you kinda have to react to that and so I wanted to go pick up a few things just to make sure I didn’t have to go out this weekend or any other time. I pulled into the parking lot of Walmart at 6:58 and I did not walk into the store until 8:10,” said Michelle Martin, a concerned resident.

Michelle Martin said the lines this morning to get into Walmart stretched about a half-mile in Roswell. Now people say when a store closes for two weeks it greatly affects families in their community.

“I already had my business closed, we thought we could make it because he has his job we would be ok, but with this happening, we don’t know how we are going to make ends meet,” said Paddy Spei – Johnson.

Just to give you an idea of how bad the spread is in southeast New Mexico we looked at cases from Wednesday. Like Curry County, who reported 89 cases Wednesday. 89 cases in Curry County is like having 2,700 cases in a single day in Bernalillo County. In Chaves County, 191 cases would be like having 1,900 cases in Bernalillo County.

“You go in, you see one or two people wearing a mask or nobody’s wearing a mask so it’s like, I don’t understand why people are downplaying the virus cause it’s serious,” said Nick.

A zip code in Roswell ranked second highest in the state for infections in a single day.

“I mean you have the elderly waiting in line, standing out there luckily it was a nice cool morning but you have people in wheelchairs doing the same thing, or people with their children and this is the mass hysteria that is being created by this,” said Michelle.

The Department of Health says it evaluates closures to make sure they won’t greatly impact a community and they try not to close all the grocery stores in a town. They say they try to work with businesses to keep them open.

Influx Of Northern Saw-Whet Owls Reported

Nov 17, 2020

https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/video/4880995-influx-of-northern-saw-whet-owls-reported/

It's a news video out of Minnesota. A record number of Saw-whet owls showing up at the Raptor center at the Univ. of Minn. 29 admitted in the last month with broken wings. They are calling it an eruption. Happens every 5-6 years because there is not enough prey. However they are saying it is because of an abundance of prey.

The economist cover sparked my almonds and I went searching for a history on Geisha girls. Very white face. Mentions flowers and water.

Chinese Geisha actually preceded Japan's and were called Green Mansion Girl.

Men didn't generally love or have romantic relationships with their wives. The wives were in charge of keeping the home. The men found other ways to entertain themselves. Only the very rich could afford to vie for one. Were the girls spies?

Geisha geiko

A number of terms are used to describe the profession and community that geisha both live and work in. Though each has its own distinct meaning and translation, some are used interchangeably to describe the geisha community on the whole, such as hanamachi and karyūkai.

Karyūkai – lit., the "flower and willow world" Before the decline and eventual disappearance of oiran, this term referred to the entertainment districts (and overall "world") of both geisha and courtesans – oiran were the "flowers" in this phrase, ostensibly for their beautiful and showy appearance, with geisha being the subtler and more graceful "willows".

Hanamachi – lit. "flower town", the district where a geisha works, is affiliated, and potentially lives. Geisha generally do not work outside of their hanamachi, though customers may call them for special occasions in other districts, or on excursions – however far away – to places outside the karyūkai. Engagements not held in licensed restaurants, teahouses or a geisha's own hanamachi are known as todē, "distant outings".

Kagai – lit., "five flower towns" . The five geisha districts of Kyoto; Gion Kobu and Gion Higashi, Ponto-chō, Miyagawa-chō and Kamishichiken. Kyoto previously had six hanamachi, with Shimabara, formerly a red light and geisha district, still being considered an active hanamachi as of 1970. In the present day, Shimabara is active only as a host for tayū re-enactors.

Trump hosts National Sheriffs' Association for White House roundtable talk

"I have always had a great relationship with the sheriffs. My administration stands proudly with America's sheriffs, deputies and law enforcement officers," the president said. "And we stand also 100 percent with strong law and order."

Trump's catch phrase preceding the election was Law and Order.
