Spirit Halloween is coming to Walnut Creek where Pier 1 Imports used to be. According to their website they are open with a 20% off coupon here. What I wonder is, are people really going to go trick or treating next month without an available vaccine? Maybe they feel a scary mask will protect themselves?

This week we learned that a COVID-19 vaccine may be available as early November. Some have said the timeline has been politicized for obvious reasons, and it will only be available to essential workers initially. That being said, if you have the opportunity to get vaccinated this year, will you? Or will you wait until next year to see if there is an increased risk for developing a disorder such as Guillain-Barré syndrome like what happened with the 1976 swine flu vaccine?

GritCycle, which opened earlier this year in downtown Walnut Creek, has closed.
Broadway Plaza, Walnut Creek
Thanks to everyone who emailed that The Dallas Morning News has reported that Neiman Marcus, which opened in 2012 at Broadway Plaza in downtown Walnut Creek, has added this location as one of the nine stores to its closing list. It’s expected to close after Christmas. The boarded up windows you see in the above photo were taken over the weekend due to a downtown demonstration.
With people staying home these days, I’ve noticed that nurseries are becoming quite popular. Do you have a vegetable garden? How long have you had one for? I bought garden soil for my planters but promptly killed most of my seedlings before they even had a chance. One of these days I’ll figure out how to grow vegetables.
Short baguette bags are incredibly annoying and unhygienic. The bread end invariably pops out on the checkout stand or in the cart and I wonder what kind of disease-laden virus or bacteria has latched on. Sometimes at home, I cut off the end and throw it away I’m so disgusted. Recently, I decided to buy a baguette when I noticed the bag has been extended and folded over, allowing for a semi-secure closure. I was thrilled to see this and hope this never goes away, even when the Covid-19 pandemic is over.
Am I being too obsessive about this?
