THURSDAY DAILY

THE MAQUOKETA AT DEWITT FOOTBALL GAME TOMORROW NIGHT AT DEWITT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.    ONE OF THE CARDINALS  HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS, AND WILL BE QUARANTINED FOR 14 DAYS.    NO JV GAME ALSO.
"COMMON SENSE" WOULD ALLOW THE GAMES TO BE PLAYED.    BUT, THAT WOULD
BE AGAINST THE RULES.

WHAT IS LEFT OF THE  BRUSH PILE HERE IN MAQUOKETA.

IN YESTERDAY'S DAILY, I MENTIONED THE MULCH WAS

TRUCKED AWAY.   NOT SO.    MAYBE LATER?

THIS IS WHAT MAIN STREET AND OTHER STREETS LOOK LIKE

ON THURSDAYS AND FRIDAYS.     CLICK-ON TO ENLARGE.

NEW GARBAGE AND RECYCLABLE CONTAINERS WAITING

TO BE EMPTIED.

NANCY AND I DECIDED TO GO FOR A RIDE  TO BELLEVUE  LAST NIGHT.

WE DO IT OFTEN!    LOVE THAT MISSISSIPPI RIVER CITY.    AND A FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT,  "FLATTED FIFTH BLUES AND BBQ"...A TOUCH OF NEW ORLEANS

IN THE HISTORIC POTTERS MILL.    THESE DAYS, A VERY SAFE PLACE TO

EAT WITH AMPLE DISTANCING.    I HAD A GREAT BBQ CHICKEN SALAD

SANDWICH AND NANCY, A TASTY BOWL OF VEGETABLE SOUP.    VISITED WITH

OWNERS MARK AND RACHEL HERMAN.

AND BEFORE COMING HOME, A STOP AT "GRANDPA'S PARLOUR" FOR AN ICE CREAM CONE.     A SINGLE DIP (HUGE) OF CHOCOLATE-MINT FOR ME AND A STRAWBERRY
FOR NANCY, BOTH IN WAFFLE CONE.   GREAT ANYTIME, ESPECIALLY ON A HOT
SUMMER NIGHT.    YES....I ENJOY TALKING  ST. LOUIS BASEBALL WITH  OWNER ERIC (FLATJORD)  TOO.   HE'S A LONGTIME CARDINAL FAN.    PRETTY SURE HIS WIFE
KRISTY IS ALSO.

BELLEVUE'S RIVER FRONT IS ONE OF FINEST ALONG THE RIVER WITH CHANCE
OFTEN TO WATCH A BARGE GO THROUGH THE LOCK AND  DAM.      OVER THE
YEARS, WHENEVER WE HAD VISITORS FROM WISCONSIN,  I TOOK THEM TO SEE
THE LOCK OPERATE.    A GREAT TOURIST ATTRACTION FOR BELLEVUE.
HOPE YOU TOO GET TO VISIT BELLEVUE AGAIN, SOON.
