You? Awesome! I knew you when...lol.

Here masks outdoors have stopped as I mentioned a few days ago. I was walking the dog and had a pile of poop in a bag and a rare masked individual wanted to play with the dog-a woman in her 70s. She was masked because she was working in the building she came out of and was checking something in her car parked on the street. Out of courtesy I reached for my mask in my pocket but she says-no need to put on your mask- Wow what a change!

Opinion. Now some anecdotal information. I have 3 kids. My oldest 2 did not go to college. But they worked from an early age and are each making more $$ than I ever made-hint-my retirement income is probably higher than most people’s regular on this bb so that’s no small statement. My youngest worked from hs, opened up a Roth with her part time job in college, started a portfolio on he own. Boomers and every other generation teach by example. I worked really hard for 50 years. But each of my kids was not allowed to sit around and do nothing. Nor did they want to. Generational blaming is pointless.

It’s “pretty fukking far from ok...”

I showed no maps. I did say euro gave Kevin 1+ and I’d like to see a map of totals because that was along the MA border so maybe I have the geography of his house wrong? All I did was state what certain models showed. Kevin spinned it into a personal forecast.

Over an inch here. Wet in the pike region as models had.

Getting a nice drink in Dot.

Was in Coolidge Corner today-already you can see a lot of people loosening up on masks. In my much quieter neighborhood it’s like a switch went off. Very little masking outdoors vs the vast majority 24 hours ago.

But there is a synoptic element enhanced perhaps by convective activity.

It is a very nice day. We’ve clearly turned the corner. Still multiple steps before reliability...

Kevin gets 1+ on the euro. Lets spin that into stein.

Man that’s a boatload if rain on NAM for the pike region.

Let’s face it-there is a schism in the country with no tolerance for someone else’s opinion. In my lifetime it has never been this bad. Tribalism as Luke alluded to is toxic and it’s at all levels of society.

Kevin you’re in outer Chicagoland?

Routine around here.

Interestingly Randolph by voting records is pretty blue..67.1-30 Biden-Trump in 2020. 186 to 83. Kevin wants to move to Jackson NH in the winter.. Better think twice..your neighbors would be pretty liberal...567 Biden to 212 Trump.

I’m curious about a typically Saturday night in Randolph,NH.....

Hi

I am not aware of a single case of covid from touching something. During the first month of the pandemic I wore gloves at the market. Basically the only time I use hand sanitizer now is going into and out of my doctors appointments. That said, old habits die hard....I still use my elbow to push the button for the walk sign at busy intersections.

You do

As I intimated several pages back....it’s pretty fukking far from summer.....

Yes. The good news is one shot gives pretty good immunity.

0.11 looks to be final.

We ate with our cousins (all 4 of us fully vaccinated) at a nice place indoors last night. Damn I missed this! Didn’t realize how much. The place is about 2.5 miles from our house and my wife and I are already planning to walk there and back come summer. The restaurant was full and tables had a reasonable amount of separation between them. The last time we were there was pre pandemic and about double the capacity. Food and drink were great!
