So I will admit to having tried to snort No-Doz when I was 16.

There was a tonghands epic of snorting altoids

The internet is broken and I cannot find it.

Any early contenders to replace Long Gone Duck, aka De Balsio?

I made the mistake of taking 2 or 3 of those goddam things in HS Chemistry class (we were validating the amount of caffeine in each tablet), washed down with about a liter of cola. Holy shit the ride home from school was... jittery.

Noticed a lot of contrails today (relative to how it's been since this all started). Wonder if my qanon friend down the road is freaking out.

We have opened the barbers and hair salons, in central CA.
Still no nail shops or bars, though.

Covid made me realize I don’t need to pay a barber $30 to cut my hair every couple of months.

[hutash]

What's the point of a visit to the coiffeur if I can't have perfect nails as well?

[old goat]

Yeah, I’ve pointed out multiple times how idiotic this guy is. One particular press conference he basically refuted everything the CDC was saying at the time in the first 3 minutes of a press conference...was jaw dropping. Media said nothing at the time. It was the March 8th one.

Lots of people got it wrong early on. It's not whether they were wrong, it's whether they recognized it and changed course. Most did. One in particular refuses to.

man people are totally losing it. I mean WTF? Walk away people... make your statement with your feet and just walk away..........


Woman Removes Mask, Spits In Shopper’s Face For Flouting Distancing Rules

In our Safeway more people walk the wrong way than the right way. Partly because the way the one ways are laid out it's impossible to avoid walking down each aisle at least twice.

City Council here is talking about closing side streets for dining alfresco (and Main street once a week). Fortunately we have the weather for it. I'm actually thinking about patronizing my favorite breakfast place Bacon & Eggs. Craving Eggs Benny or maybe some Shrimp & Grits. Tired of cooking for myself and of course want to help out my friend who owns the place.

Yum!

Those shrimp are way too close to each other.

On a related note, how's Bergamo in the fall?

Shortly thereafter we started buying fake speed, aka caffeine pills, from those adds in the back of High Times. And some sort of ephedrine pill. It was funny for a short while.

[Core Shot]

Oddly I had the exact same thought.

I wonder if canucks think a liter of cola is no big deal?

Never been, but Lago d'Iseo is gorgeous. A mini lake Como.

Texas Bar Bans Customers From Wearing Masks During Coronavirus Pandemic

[wooley12]

Nice marketing move. Reminds me of the hot looking NC gun range owner that banned Muslims from her range. I have always refused to do business with members of the Klan and ISIS.

[KQ]

Speaking of marketing..... "Visit Walla Walla" is up a running ads now that we are in Phase 2 encouraging people to come here. I know we need tourist dollars but maybe we should be more cautious. We've been luckier than a lot of counties partly because the shut down came before tourist season. We don't need to be the next Sun Valley.

Not to mention the state mandate is for people to stay within their counties if they are in a lower phase. Besides, phase 2 still only allows for "limited non-essential travel within proximity of your home." Yeah it's a catch 22.

so I was listening to the CBC today and they interviewed a treeplanting contracter so the usual scenario is a bunch of freaks go to camp driving 5 or 6 in a crew cab to live in a remote tent city , basicly run a marathon every day pounding trees, go to town/ lots of partying/ do laundry drink beer/ take drugs/ get in fights with redneck locals so they had to figure out HOW to run a camp in very close quarters observing COVID protocols

Just not going to town solves a lot of problems but buddy said they social distanced, all wore masks as much as possible like riding around in trucks, so after 26 days of planting they are pretty sure there is not covid in their camp but also every year there would usually be 2 people with colds or something at all times but this year NO colds

so its been a small petri dish and buddy seemed pretty convinced masks work now whether or not they will stop a Covid virus is another question ?

This is where the US stands as of May 24, with and without NY.

So the ex-NY running daily total new cases is about 20,000. That flat line for the rest of the US contains this:



Not looking good for many states which are opening up. Would be good to review this in two/three weeks time.

[DougW]

But wouldn't it be the combo of SD , hand washing and masks (esp in trucks) all that stuff is going to help with colds/flu.
