    Yes we are drag racing fans. We used to go every year when they raced in Commerce.

    That is an awesome way to hold a service without the ability to live stream.

    So does being from Minnesota explain Munson’s Virtuoso Accent🎤

    My mom and dad were children during the depression and getting them to throw things away was very difficult because it might could be re-purposed into something else and no matter how much money they had their first reaction to buying something was they couldn't afford it. What will be our quirk from going through this pandemic? Other than running out of toilet paper.

    Update from here...dog broke a toe running down a slope after a squirrel; wife pulled a hammy running after dog; I compressed an ulnar nerve due to bad WFH ergonomics so left hand is pretty useless at the moment.

    So no complaints, life is still far better than deserved and we’re praying for all those facing real troubles and those providing tireless support.

    But, watch those ergonomics, people.

    I've been wondering how everybody was doing with WFH ergonomics. Our HSE department makes a big deal out of ergonomics and it's all out the window now.

    Still going to work like normal as we have been deemed essential to the economic infrastructure. I naturally crave leisure and enjoy family time so there is some jealousy of those who are home with their families during all of this. At the same time, I'm grateful for a stable job that keeps the Bill's paid. We are in uncertain times economically. I send prayers up for any Dawgs who are already dealing with the the pressures of an economic slowdown and the many more it will affect.

    We have this issue in Pensacola. Still lots of tourists at their beach rentals.

    in case anyone was worried we were going to wind up like Italy...

    Also, updated models. Some good news. My current home state looks to be bearing the brunt of the deaths. Please stay home and wear masks if you must go out. (was about to make a political joke, but was electroshocked before I could type it). STay safe everyone!

    So many different outcomes for so many different people.

    My home state of SC will peak later than the country (4/24) as far as death rate, meaning our infection rate will peak over the next week.

    If we act right, our hospital system will not come close to reaching capacity as far as rooms, ICU beds, or ventilators. Total state fatalities between 300-650. With all deaths ending by June 1, meaning they project transmissions to end by mid-May. That's the most incredible part of our chart - an end, a zero sum... Hope!!!

    Totally different world than NY-NJ. I can't fathom that environment, and can only pray for those people.

    Social distancing did put fresh turkey in the fridge yesterday. Never want to celebrate the death of such a beautiful animal, but thankful for the provision for my family.

    Since I'm working from home for at least the next month, I've been thinking about throwing a turkey in the Big Green Egg this week.

  • pgjacksonpgjackson Posts: 18,825 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    If we were on Italy's glide slope we'd have almost 90,000 dead so far.

    I found out this morning during a conference call that we are more than likely home until the end of June. It doesn't really bother me working from home since I can do everything here that I can at the office but I do miss my weekly bible study group lunch.
