Northern weather

[Rufus T. Firefly]

And run out of gas trapped in the car by a bear, 3 coyotes, with a yappy dog for company.

You don't expect us to believe that.......maybe a bear and 2 coyotes.

That referred to Murph's plight.......

Supposed to be mid 70's Thursday and Friday!

Snowed Sun/Mon at my place in PA

I'd say we could all use a bit of sunshine!

Yup!

I took the kid out for a nice walk through the woods. We collected a lot of ash bark. Big sheets of it. Gonna try to make Easter baskets out of it.

You still have ash trees? All mine in PA are long dead now.

[robert.]

no they are laying on the ground. I peeled bark off of cut trees.

Ash borers, another scourge from China, as I recall.

Neat.

We had all sorts of rain through the night and there's still more on the way - back yard was a bit of a lake, but now it's just a swamp. Going to be 3-4 days before I can go out there and mow the jungle.

[healey36]

Yup, we were supposed to get 55+mph gusts today, biblical rains, and plummeting temps. All the hysteria is becoming quite tiresome. Now we hear the food stores will be empty in two weeks, and Fauci says maybe we can start to reopen in May. I'm beginning to think it's all rubbish.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

"All rubbish" ? To what purpose? Do you think there is a pointless, evil plot afoot?

[healey36]

Some level of inexperience/incompetence, inflamed by the hysterical press and a president who plays along for ratings.

Remember, two weeks ago they said the guy in the street had no reason to wear a mask...now it's everyone should be wearing a mask. Meanwhile, the health-workers are desperate to find masks. This whole effing thing is an outrage!

Don't get me wrong...I believe most of the characterizations of the pandemic, just frustrated with piss-poor American response to it. Seems to get more jumbled as each day goes by. Now that pillar of intellect, Bill Bennett stumbles out of wherever he's been hiding for the last fifteen years to pronounce bollocks on the whole thing.

It's just painful to watch (and listen).

.......... just frustrated with piss-poor American response to it.

Well..........you just noticed? Pretty sure it was Trump trumpeting the May re-opening. Tony's response of do that and more will die has gotten him into the doghouse.

[healey36]

Nope, been witness to this debacle from the get-go. It just seems to be creeping more and more toward the surreal.

Hopefully the states steer the reopening process, not the orangutan (who claims he's the only one with the authority to stage the reopening).

Going to the grocery store or the PO is surreal. Watching the orangutan is theater of the absurd.

This might trigger a states rights battle.....

Meanwhile, the weather -- now a beautiful day outside - T-shirt temps and the sun is still shining. Maybe mow the lawn tomorrow after all!
