Whisper in the wind

Aww shucks! Have a good one, GEM!

Hey hey, thanks for checking in. All is well
We're going to get a lot of rain but we're far enough from landfall that we should be ok, all outer band stuff for us here.

How have you been?

Yep. This shit blows. I hate it with all my guts, but I'm also a realist-- and I am steeling myself for no sports for the next year.It's gonna suck so baaaad if that's how it works out. . .

Hola, amiga. Doing okay, given the extenuating circumstances. At this point, though, honestly just wondering if they can even have a season.

Hey!! Nice to see that you're still out there, old friend.

I'm scared too. But I just can't let it control my life. I just can't. I'm going to die one day anyway.

It's dumb to use "but..." because it discounts what was said previously. So....

They should. Once surgeries are going, etc people will feel more comfortable and sink back into their old habits.

He'll, the ERs here don't let you inside until they triage. You pull up in your car, they assess you, either bring you in or make you wait in your car until it's your turn.

No doubt, it's extremely sad. Cognitive dissonance, they won't care until it effects them personally. I know a lot of older people not taking it seriously as well, but nothing like the younger folks.

They've started arresting people here for violations. While I can't stand government overreach their main mission is to keep us safe, so I'm all for it.

It's pretty grim, but looking up at least locally here in New Orleans. The rest of the state is lagging us by about a week but they're saying it looks like the social distressing has turned the curve here and we shouldn't run out of ventilators, etc. Still not good, but it's better than reward for sure.

How are your kiddos doing?
