Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

[gravitylover]

Maybe you already knew this— a bunch of them have the option to order online beforehand which puts you in a shorter line, if any to pick up

Yup

Yeah, Britain and the United States remembers when people made fun of Italian politicians.

Ouch

This is Meck County, correct? SIL is a principal in the system and niece is a teacher. I just returned from Bryson City and it was chill and a good place to be. I should have stayed much longer. Most if not all the small town dollar stores were still in good shape as of Saturday afternoon. Life goes on in the mountains.

It is indeed in Meck. I don’t think any of the heads of school are female. But definitely some in leadership. This school has two campuses. We might be talking about two different schools.

We got a place up around Brevard for the week. I’m gonna isolate myself on the rivers of the area. #hugeflyfisherman

Heh, I was just south of there (Bryson City) Saturday and Sunday morning in the mountains. Aside from hearing a lot more shotgun blasts echo down the valleys on Saturday, not much seems to change up there.

I went to the bakery this morning, paid with a $20

OK, boomer!

Seriously, though, I wouldn't use cash right now. No way.

It's all about the fomites.

Walmart and every major company should start a plan to return the 2018 tax cuts to its customers. $10 off every purchase $50 and above.
AAPL 25% discounts and free upgrades. Free phones for service workers. VZ Discount data plans.

At this point it could literally be "filthy lucre."

Those types should be culled.

Not sure about that. People will just be day drinking at home instead along with eating a lot of canned and packaged shit and not getting any exercise.

Well, I *am* planning to ride my bike some...

Man I've been having weird dreams. One that keeps reoccurring is me driving a car up a very very steep hill and its pitch black out.

The first time I dreamt it I went airborne at the top but landed okay. Last night the car struggled to make it up but reached the top and the sky got lighter.

I'm taking that as a good sign, of what I don't know but just the same I'm going with good.

Later on the dream got strange again but ended with me at a beach house watching turtles swim in the sea.

What does it all mean?

Agreed. Cash at this point is reserved for the dispensary...

Is it a Subaru? The loss of power might be due to a leaky head gasket.

Saw on the news tonight Hoboken NJ has imposed a curfew. Not sure I understand the reason. And Spain is using drones to tell people to get off the nearly deserted streets. People aren't allowed outside. I'm not sure how walking outside spreads disease if you maintain distance. If you stick your head out and the street is crowded stick your head back in.
There seem to be many, many approaches to managing this. Good in a way--hopefully we will figure out the best practices for next time.

It's because of a reason to which someone alluded. A minority of people, once allowed outside, cannot maintain the discipline to distance. The practice then becomes to restrict all outside movement.

Drastic? Yes. Necessary? We'll see. Back of the envelope numbers is that , at a 35%/day case growth rate WA is 28 days away from an Italy situation ( ie health care system overloaded). BC is 34 days away

Are you dreaming of an old African American woman in a cornfield? Or some walking dude? Are you being encouraged to congregate in either Boulder or Vegas?

Now would be a great time for a reread and would make this situation seem more bearable.

yes two different school my SIL is a title 1 school. I think i know the high school you are talking about in the high falutin part of the city, but I won't name it for anonymity purposes.
I wanted to fish the Tuck, but was too deep and flowing too fast. good luck

I maybe shouldn’t admit to it on the internet, but I had about 15 minutes of debilitating terror last night for what may come. I had just put my kids to bed and was texting my 70 year old parents (pops has asthma and mom high bp) and it just all crashed on me that if it keeps trending this way my kids may never see their grandparents again. That just opened the door to the hell we may all be in a month from now. I was able to snap out of it, but man this stuff is scary. I still have some hope that we can get this under control, but all these dumbfucks out there partying have got to stop.

Ah, yes, hadn't waded into that thread in a while.

The toolbox seems to be claiming he "donated" it, which is the funniest thing I've heard in weeks.
