The Wuhan Flu fallout hits me. The $25 per visit walk in
chiropractor has been shut down by the
state, and my right shoulder is out of alignment. I usually visit monthly. The
shoulder is interfering with my sleep.
Social Distancing at
the Post Office
On the positive side, you can’t tell how unprepared and dumb
some patrons are, on a good day, when you are six feet behind them.
The Coven
Still meeting but now use three tables and keep to the 6’
distance rule.
Virga
Earliest I remember seeing virga. During the summer there
will be bands east of the mountains where the rain shadow ends. In a light
airplane you can experience a few “interesting” minutes.
We probably have virga year around and I don’t notice it.
Stay at Home
Coming east on Highway 34 (four
lanes) from Longmont at 4 p.m. the traffic was sparse. A 65 mph speed limit
limited access road, the usual speed at the time of day is down to 40-45 bumper
to bumper. A car wash, one $13 monthly fee unlimited washes, I use had no one.
There usually is a 6-8 vehicle line waiting to go in.
Scofflaw
That is me! I go where I want, when I want. Comically, my
little part time gig is considered part of essential industry so I’m legal!
(letter of the law; certainly not the spirit).
If It Bleeds, It
Leads
That is the media. Hasn’t it always been that way? These
must be halcyon days for the media. Breathless reporting, opportunity to criticize
the Trump Administration (from a sanctimonious perch), and in a fluid situation
that makes fact checking difficult. They seem to be falling all over each other
congratulating themselves.
As my late mother would say, “Don’t break your arm patting
yourself on the back”.
UPDATE: Shit, the Sombrero Horse Drive is cancelled.

I've seen "virga" many times, but didn't know that's what it's called. Learned a new one, thanks!
Yes, if it bleeds, it leads. Just like the Don Henley song "Dirty Laundry".
Sorry to hear about the shoulder. I know what you're going through, but it's my hip.

For those who can't be bothered to look it up, virga is falling precipitation that evaporates before hitting the ground.
I thought you were writing about Viagra...for a while. Guess not.
Seen virga a time or two or three, mostly in the Oregon High Desert country.
Hope you get the shoulder taken care of.

Just need to cowboy up till things get back to "normal". Won't be the first time, damnit!

No, Viagra and I are not acquainted.
Ah, WSF, "I go where I want."

Yep, people are 'reacting' in different ways... No question.

See lots of families out walking in my neighborhood.
