    Here in NY schools are going to remain closed for the remainder of the academic year ( til June ).

    Our oldest is (was?) a senior. He's working at a neighbor's horse barn right now and doesn't know his senior year, and high school, is essentially over. No prom, no senior trip, no band trip, probably no graduation ceremony, and Lord knows when we'll be able to have a party for him. Plus, it would have been nice to be able to say goodbye to the kids on my bus. I've never liked kids, but somehow, ya still grow fond of the little shits.

    I never thought I'd be so upset to have so much paid time off, but I have to tell ya folks, I lost my shit a little when it was announced.

    Aside from the fact he's completely bat shit crazy, if I were a betting man, I'd bet he'd be one of the first curled up in a fetal position crying if the shit ever really hit the fan.

    Also, I've read a lot of apocalyptic fiction and can assure 'ol Alex, cannibals are generally considered the lowest of the low, and exterminated quickly.

    I also like that the idea of eating something other than meat completely doesn't occur him. Nor does like... hunting things that aren't human.

    Are there not laws down there that basically now allow his neighbours to put him down if he DOES step on their property, after saying that horseshit?

    Nowadays he’s no more valid than the pee-stained, wild eyed nutcase who throws haymaker punches at his unseen enemies. The same exact logic comes out of their mouths.

    Latest FEMA update on the TiB COVID infection rates: 1... maybe.

    Still better than the national values.

    Go Team!

    Only 1 member out of almost 1900 total and even then it's a MAYBE... Why are we even restricting access to this place? I say we let ALL the bots in. You fascist.

    FDA has now authorized remdesivir to treat covid. We now have at least one (safe) treatment. This is big news. If it helps even a little, something is better than nothing

    I was given a mask by a friend of mine, which I’ve been wearing those few times I have to go out. It looks alot like maybe it was her thong.

    Saw her today and she compared my unshaven face to the current state of her own personal grooming.

    This is like Dixie’s personal hell... EVERYONE now has a jungle, but he needs to socially distance.

    Shiiit. Our governor waffled. We were supposed to start opening up today and we need mask in public/work, but then we didn't, then changed his mind again and we do. Supposed to be fully open in three weeks but extended non essentials (the bars everyone cares about anyway) until the end of the month. I was a Krogers today and youd think there was a concert going on inside.

    I swear... if after this whole pandemic is over there isn't a parody porn made called "Social Dickining", have we truly learned anything as a society?

    Got to see some hoarders in their natural environment today. Removed any remaining shred of hope I had that people could behave themselves.

    first trip to the grocery store since this all started. Just some stuff we forgot at home (at the lake right now), yogurt and the like for the boys. It was about a 20 minute wait to get in since they were only letting so many people in at once and sanitizing all the carts and everything. When I went in the only remaining item limit on anything, even eggs, was a limit on all meat products: 2 per transaction. While I was in there, they went over the intercom and removed the item limit. These fuckers went APESHIT! Everyone paused and looked at each other like out of the movies, then just started tossing packages of meat into their carts. Clearing off the shelves. Second they announced removal of the item limit every hotdog was spoken for.

    Of course, no one touched the brisket, ribs, large cuts. And the brisket was still $1.50/lbs, because Texas.

    Also aside from the workers, who all wore masks/gloves/eye pro, I was one of the few with a mask on in there. Feel bad for that place. It’s a really small town, one road going through it and one stop light, only about a quarter of the businesses were open despite the new order allowing them to be. When the drive-thru donut place closes, you know it’s getting bad.

    Fuck load of vape shops open though. Kids gotta have something to do I guess.
