  1. I'm afraid to ask, but... is there still normal air travel happening in the US, or are there finally restrictions in place?
  2. Watching the Live briefing now. The man has completely lost it.
  3. My petty whine? Two words... Zoom Meetings.
  4. The lack of national leadership is shocking. They've shown parts of Trumps press conferences on some of our news programs down here and no one can believe it.
  5. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding you but, are you seeking to (at least partially) blame the UN for the problems in NYC?
  6. God bless you John! https://youtu.be/xAl1R-gcq4Q
  7. RIP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjaPlUltUs4
  8. New Zealand has been in "Stage 4" (lockdown) for the past three days, but I've already been working at home for a week. Stage 4 is to last at least 4 weeks. (Probably more.) Everything is shut down except for essential services. Like many of you here, I feel incredibly grateful and fortunate to have a safe, steady job. My heart goes out to all of those who don't. That said, this working from home thing has been interesting to say the least. I usually go out of my way to never bring work related stress back to my home and family, but it's now directly inside my home. My overenthusiastic manager wants to keep things flowing and has been encouraging us all to all use video conferencing for meetings. God I hate it. (I want my coworkers out of my house!) So, this may not be the right place to ask, but is it still up to each town/county/state to have the own plans, or are things beginning to be more coordinated? (back in America)
  9. I understand why they would want to postpone it, but they should really try to press on. Make it simple, like how it used to be. Millions of fans have had to change their normal work routines and are working from home. (Myself included.) If we can all do it... they can all do it. Just do it differently. Plus, I'm just jonesing for some football!
  10. Well, our PM announced that all of New Zealand will be going into "Stage 4" (lockdown) beginning tomorrow. She said it would last for at least the next 4 weeks, but quite possibly more. So... it looks like I'll be joining you guys in this thread! I'll be working from home for a little bit, but my in-coming work will dry up pretty quickly. So, what to do then? I hope to use (some of) my time getting healthier. I turned 50 this year, and Lord knows I could drop a few pounds. It's been ages since I've last done yoga, so I promised myself to do that on a nearly daily basis. It's going to be a pain in the backside, getting into it again. We're having beautiful late summer/early autumn weather right now, so it'll be great to hit the trails on the mountain bike, or have a paddle in the bay. I may also pick up the guitar again and properly train myself this time. I've been a "beginner/intermediate" skilled player for a long time and would love it if I could get passed this plateau. (If anyone has good online guitar lessons suggestions, please tell me.) Anyway, I wish all you guys up north nothing but the best of luck. As Red Green used to always say... "Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're all in this together."
  11. The NZ Prime Minister came on the air earlier and announced that we will be going into "Stage 4" (lockdown) in 48 hours. She said Stage 4 will last at least 4 weeks. Yikes! So, what sort of productive endeavors should I pursue for the next month?
  12. He always seemed to be a half step too late in making any impactful plays. We can/should do better.
  13. Our Prime Minister just announced that New Zealand's borders are closed to all non-citizens. Yikes!
  14. Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
  15. I've been in NZ for 15 years now and still haven't seen any Bills stuff. I have my eye out though! I would have thought I'd spot a tourist wearing something Bills related by now. About 10 years ago, I was driving through town (Nelson) and saw a guy wearing a Sabres jersey. I pulled the car up to him, shouted "Lets go Buffalo" and drove off. I think I scared the living poo outta the poor fella! Ha! (If you're on this board, apologies.) BTW, great idea for a thread topic
  16. He has some of the best field vision and blocking anticipation that I've ever seen. I just love watching this kid run!
