Bad Things

Wow. That's friggin scary. We had nothing like that down here. Our PM gave the country 48 hrs to prepare for the country-wide lockdown. That evening, my wife went shopping for our usual amount. The next day, I had to pop into the office to grab some stuff (working from home for 3 weeks now) and saw that the grocery store carpark was 1/2 full. I decided to pop in and "really" stock up. I couldn't believe just how chilled out and orderly everyone was. There was a bit of tension in the air, but everyone was also uber friendly with each other, but kept their distance. That said, we've heard stories from overseas about panic buying and all that. Man, it'll be great when we are all back to normal again. (Whatever normal will be.)

Wow. Is that seriously what it was like by you? That's crazy.

While one the subject... a shout out to all of those great, Grateful Dead tribute bands out there. The Park Ave Band were always a blast to see live in Rochester, while Shakedown Street filled those Northern Colorado canyons with sweet sounds.

God Bless you, Mort!

There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert. One of the best days I've ever had.

I was doing that very thing yesterday afternoon.

I'm not a fan of the red fading into black, but apart from that I like them! The Bills still have the best unis in the league.

FYI - The daily White House briefing is just about to begin.

(Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Dunedin.) That said, the number #1 reason we are (hopefully) showing positive signs is because of the decisive actions our Prime Minister and government took to close the border and lockdown the country.

Margarita Beer?

Thank you and God bless you John.

Two of my all-time favourites. Genesis - Supper's Ready and... RUSH 2112

Rest assured kiddies... The Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy have been classified as "Essential Workers". At least down here in New Zealand. (So glad we can still have a little fun over some things.) https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-52189013/jacinda-ardern-tooth-fairy-and-easter-bunny-are-essential-workers

I'd like to suggest you all try one of our local distilleries. Very tasty gin, indeed! https://dancingsands.com/

That's just crazy.

I'm afraid to ask, but... is there still normal air travel happening in the US, or are there finally restrictions in place?

Dementia.

Go and watch the live briefing right now. Just sayin'

Watching the Live briefing now. The man has completely lost it.

White House daily briefing on now. (Live)

My petty whine? Two words... Zoom Meetings.

Skinless chicken wings? Never heard of such a thing.

I feel very fortunate living in an isolated island nation right now.

That is really an incredible sight. Un-friggin-believable.

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.
