Same old virus but Carter has a new car

Finally, Linda is wearing a mask. The state made a mask mandate last week and businesses will be fined $10,000 if their employees are not wearing mask. This country is a hot mess. Trump still won't accept the election results and is trying to start a civil war and COVID is out of control in all but two states. The two states aren't even under control just not spreading as rapidly as everyone else. We cancelled our trip to Fla on Tuesday. The odds of someone on the plane having COVID are probably around 100%. I'm bummed but we wouldn't be there long enough to see the girls and it's just not worth the risk of getting sick in another state.

Cars have always been one of the joys in Carter's life. Every couple of years he gets a new one. He always buys them from a used car dealer named Dave because that's where he bought his first car. He has been hell bent on buying a new car. I thought since he had to use the majority of his savings to pay off all the money he donated to politicians that he might wait but no he wants a new car now. I asked him why he needed a new car and he said because sometimes his radio skips. Um ok. He said Dave could get him a new car for $360 a month. I told him it was a bad idea and to talk to his dad first. Then I wondered why I said that. His dad makes terrible car decisions. Don looked online and found new cars that he could afford for less than $300 a month. Yesterday he took Carter out and they found a new Kia for $285 a month. Carter is pretty happy.
