*Of course* the Trump acceptance speech took place on White House property

This may be obvious, but where else could Trump have gathered hundreds of people who weren't wearing face-masks and who weren't socially distanced without running afoul of local or state governmental regulations?

The crown will cost me a fortune, but at least I'll have one more excuse to visit Central Park before the next wave of COVID-19 hits.

I haven't been to Central Park since at least March, before New York State went on "shut-down" due to the COVID-19 pandemic--social distancing on a subway train or bus can be difficult, if not impossible, so I just avoid public transit unless necessary, and we don't have a car.  I don't expect to be back there until my next dentist appointment.  Unfortunately, that will be in about two weeks--I need another crown.  There goes the family budget.  :(  But at least I'll have an excuse to get on a subway that will take me straight to Central Park.  :)
