    Yes. New York to New Orleans to Jackson to Coahoma County. :)

    It would be great if your prediction came true, but the indications that prolonged exposure in enclosed areas is the highest risk of spreading the virus makes fall, winter and especially the holidays problematic. I don't see folks taking as readily to wearing masks indoors as they do outdoors, especially if it's for hours on end.

    They'd better, especially if the office is open to the public.

    That's like saying, "I don't see folks taking as readily to wearing coats in the winter as they do in the summer." Absolutely backward. Enjoy the fresh air --- mask free. Do what you feel is necessary indoors.

    Saw a guy talking a walk in my neighborhood yesterday (where you can take a 3-mile walk and never get within 50 feet of anybody). Nobody around him. He was wearing a mask. Choosing his own CO2 over the wonderful fresh air.

    Name one intelligent thing Trump has done as president. Please. Anything.

    Seriously, I want to see the USA, the one I pledged allegiance to from kindergarten to 12th grade be a shining beacon of democracy, independent of political beliefs.

    Like when Reagan helped bring the Iron Curtain down, or GWB authorized Desert Shield/Storm. That's fine.

    There have been good things happen since Trump was elected. ... I attribute most of those to the Blind Squirrel-Nut proposition.

    Well, I would say it's a pretty big fucking problem when we have a submoron making life-and-death decisions.

    I take no joy from him being dense. I wish he'd get his shit together for one week.

    It would benefit everyone for him to show any ability to learn. He can't do it.

    Renegotiating NAFTA. Granted he did it with as much thought as the Underpants Gnomes put into making money off of stealing underwear, both Canada and Mexico both agreed it needed to be done and anytime you get Canada and Mexico to agree with Trump on ... anything ...

    Having no need to repeat the same stuff everybody else is saying does NOT mean you have an opposite viewpoint. It just means, "There is nothing to add on this subject." Especially if one is not into linking other people's words, which is all that is done here anymore. Although occasionally there may be an interesting perspective. Hence, Alma.


    And it's cute that people believe Reagan had anything to do with bringing down the Iron Curtain. (And it was GHWB who did that Shield/Storm thingy).

    Or, or, we said places where large amounts of people can congregate in close proximity can be dangerous

    True. But they can sure as hell do that at home.

    And one of the things we have learned is outdoor congregation --- outdoor anything --- is simply safer than indoor.

    I wouldn't take my chances on either, but if I had to I'd choose a baseball game with 30,000 people over a basketball game with 15,000.
