Okay, when you are struggling to deal with day 37? of forced confinement, you find things like this interesting:

Surely it happens every day at this time for the duration of 2020?

Yep. In 2020 it happens 365 times.

Yes, I suppose this is one of those pieces of humor for the educated.

Not everyone will get this.

If I did not know who Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) was, I probably would not have understood it either. Van Gogh lived through two Pandemics (if you don't count the Third Plague Pandemic 1855-1959), all of which originated from the continent of Asia (like our current dilemma).

​

◈ Third Cholera Pandemic 1846-1863 (There may be yet another Cholera Outbreak in Baghdad. We don't know yet.)​

◈ Asian Flu 1856-1858 ​

Most Respectfully,

Looks like she's one breeze away from indecent exposure law issues. She better have a good medical reason up her... uh her.. ahm, oh, well, there are no sleeves.

Goodnight to everybody!

I'm still around, I just can't think of much to say.. The suns out, the daffodils and tulips are blooming and I'm pretty happy..

Life's good here too. But I'm probably not going to get married. The other day my fiance got mad and threw a chunk of broken ceramic my way, which bounced up and hit me in the knee while he was yelling at me. I don't need that in my life. I'm going to give it another 6 months and if that kind of a thing ever happens again, he's outta the guest room.

mmm .. well now I'm worried about you.. I hope that 6 months is very flexible towards less and yes you don't deserve or need that kinda threatening crap in your life.

Sorry Darlin, I'm sure you know best .. but this kinda stuff makes me angry..

One time is one time to many. You don't need that kind of treatment, Becki.

To all the people who accused me of being anti social over the years you were wrong I was just social distancing before it was trendy I was ahead of the curve.

My service engine light came on 2 days ago after work. I used my scanner and it looks like I may need a new air pump. I'm also leaking oil, it's gone from just a little bit getting on the ground now and then to an unfortunately large amount. So, it's time for a new car. I'm looking to buy a new car this time, rather than used, but I am not someone who haggles. I haven't even contacted a dealer yet and I'm already frustrated with the search and all the crap that will go into the purchase. It's odd how all the dealerships offer to bring the cars to you to test drive, deliver the car you purchase, things like that because of the coronavirus.

Hmm. Never bought a car during an epidemic requiring quarantine. But good luck. I have always heard that if you buy a car on a Saturday afternoon you might get a better deal because the salesmen are trying to fill their quota for the week. May be nothing to it.

I have to agree with Hossfly, Becki. That is a huge red flag that should not be shrugged off. Behavior that inappropriate is almost never a one-time incident. Be careful my friend.

No doubt, the boss, my wife actually allowed me to go shopping over the weekend under her strict supervision.. ..Alas, she got me in a weakened condition and I agreed to toe the line until the end of the month, after that, Lumpy's going fishing and such.

Mrs. Lumpy (Kathleen) has been working all along and we've been brilliantly safe including no hugs which really sucks.. I see family at a distance and "little man" Alexander is smiling, laughing and starting to get ticked off that his crawling is just too slow..

So anyway, a distant hug Lady Foxfyre and all the best to you and yours...

(mmm .. it seems I did have something to say)

I'm sorry to hear what happened to you beautress. Nobody should be treated like that!
I really hope it won't happen again.
Stay well

You can wait 6 months and maybe it won't happen again for years. My partner went 17 years before he finally laid a fist on me. His court date was postponed until May (tentatively) due to the covid crap. I did warn him that if he ever wanted to hit me again, he'd better kill me because one of us was going to die. I meant it.

Update from the (formerly) frozen North. We're in full Break-up mode which means that the mud is as deep now as the snow was two weeks ago. Once the underlying ice thaws, all the standing water will drain away and terra firma will once again reestablish itself.
Work is really hectic. I may have mentioned a significant increase in the amount of traffic coming through Anchorage. We went from 25-35 flights a day to over 50, almost 60, flights daily. Those are just the flights we handle, there are other companies that handle cargo and the few remaining passenger flights. Between the decrease in fuel production and the increase in traffic, we are now facing a potential jet fuel shortage.
Only two known cases of the virus at the airport (excluding passenger traffic), one was a pilot, the other an ATC staffer. Neither fatal or even hospitalized. Considering the number of people employed at the airport and the potential exposure, I think we're doing pretty damned well.
They're beginning the "open Alaska" protocols today. Lots of places can begin doing business but there are some pretty draconian requirements. Like hairdressers and nail salons can only take one client at a time with a reservation. Not a lot of jobs for most of those providers. A lot of the restaurants plan on continuing curbside service because the allowable number of guests on premises will probably still not pay the rent. Restrictions on travel to outlying communities remain in place because there is only spotty medical care available and they are quite effectively quarantined by geography.
My brothers are planning on coming up in June. I am making a to-do list, at their request. I'll take as much time off as I can and hopefully get a couple of these delayed projects done.
Well, that's all the boring stuff from up here. I am following y'all even if not actively participating. Much love and all best wishes for my CS friends and acquaintances. Keep your heads down and your powder dry.
