COVID-19:
- The End of the Shutdown is Here. On June 2, 2021 - ALL Health Orders issued by the State of Ohio will cease to be. It will be up to businesses to decide whether or not people wear masks.

- The COVID Cancel Bug claimed another major casualty on May 20 - Red, White, & Boom (and as of the posting of this show - Summer Jam West was also cancelled last week, as well). And why (Hublin) the Suburbs (Upper Arlington) have moved on (Whiteholdsburg) from Boom (New Albany), and are planning on doing the Fourth anyway (more on that in Show # 383, which will drop in five weeks).
