How are they going to deal with demand? Lines were bad before in western Mass..Quote:

We are also considering letting them ride bikes with friends a bit. They're good little cyclists and that at least keeps them a few feet apart and outside.

All the little kids in the neighborhood riding their little bikes running me off the sidewalk. The little fuckers can get sick afaic, then they'll have to stay home. ; - )Quote:

We’ve gone riding bikes with our kid’s friend and watch them closely.Quote:

She likely got it from an asymptomatic kid and is now on a vent struggling to live. Under 50.
There's a lot of blowing and spitting that goes on in pools with little kids clearing their mouths and noses of pool water when they surface not to mention wiping water from their eyes. That said it's not polio so if they keep a distance from others probably okay.Quote:

My daughter was going crazy missing her friends, so with a bunch of parental gesticulations and admonitions, we let her go try to play tennis with a friend, a decent long distance kind of activity.
All the courts were locked up so they went to the high school parking lot and swatted the ball back and forth there.
She came home much happier and promised to have kept her distance and her mask on.
We're such isolationists, it doesn't really bother the rest of us.
My daughter, SIL and the the grandkids have been 99.9% in self quarantine with WFH and school from home. Mrs. and I felt comfortable eating a rack of BBQ ribs outdoors at the same picnic table for Memorial day.
I just could not live in the worlds that you impose on yourselves.
No judgements, just fuck that.
Online order and curbside pickup. At GB you wait until you have a time slot to even pull into the parking lot, no ordering and waiting you'll be asked to leave. I like the store in Lee much better.Quote:

It’s so depressing when you can only hang out with a few different groups of friends on a Friday night instead of going to a club or a big house party. Oh, and God help you if you post pictures of yourself on social media with your arms around a bunch of your pals, because you’ll get attacked for being ‘part of the problem.’ Seriously, how long can a person stay home from work every time he experiences a fever and prolonged coughing fits before he completely loses it?” Bradley went on to bemoan the fact that he wasn’t even allowed to see his grandmother, adding that if the 87-year-old woman could survive diabetes, lupus, and the loss of half a lung to cancer, she ought to be able to survive a visit from a loved one.Quote:

I'm enjoying the way things are now more than I enjoyed the pace of life before this whole thing started. Seriously. I hope things don't ever truly go back to the way they were. It will be nice to have a sense of normalcy return in due time, but I hope it looks different from the "normal" of a few months ago.
I'm less stressed, I have the time and energy to cook, I drink better beer than before and spend less, work is more pleasant, I have no qualms about wearing a mask and shopping less, etc. It's all good.
Head to the Loire next time. No castles to canoe under in CA that I know of. Rolling, green country dotted with castles. Great road biking, decent trail biking and several rivers to paddle. Wine ain’t half bad. The only resemblance to CA is the farm to fork movement. The started theirs about 300 years ago, so we are catching up.Quote:
