I actually just wrote about this issue vis a vis health care. One of the biggest priorities in the public sector is to equalize broad band so that rural and highly rural areas have access. Think about it from a health care perspective. Rural based patients have to travel long distances for specialty care. Telemedicine should bring the rural based patient more equal patient access but lack of strong broad band coverage makes it tough in many areas. Like the rural electrification done in the 1930s, we need as a country to prioritize this.

Brick and mortar theaters are on the way out. I wish it weren’t so..love the theater experience. But streaming services are producing so much high quality stuff it doesn’t make sense to keep them going. Home theater used to only be for wealthy people. Now it’s for everyone.

That was not true in the federal workplace I was in during the first 6 months of the pandemic. No one masked in private and it was evident on the too many calls we had. In fact, a directive specifically saying that masking is required outside of private offices.

It’s a head scratcher for sure. Threw his career into the toity.

Genetics, doing what you can to mitigate risk but I’m increasingly convinced that it’s 50% luck.

So nice you do this-it’s a good deed done with love!

Exactly. For me the numbers are a bit above normal but losing 2 months definitely soured the season although I spent 2 snowy weeks in Chicago during January.

Damn...,,.not too far away I have 55.8. Last season I had 23.9.

An inch yesterday. 55.8 looks to be final.

Been a lot of snow at the early games in mlb this year.

Yeah I didn’t expect anything. Especially when I was up to pee at 7:30 and it was pouring rain. I may have slept later but up again at 10:30 and looked out dumbfounded!

Well the take home is Roy sang too early....

That was well modeled and you remember Ryan pointing out that Kevin would do well. No everyone is surprised....

Been light white rain for the past hour or so. Went out with the doggie for a mile walk......not sure she’ll make it to next winter and wanted to let her experience it one more time-big dog age 13.

I happened to be outside at that moment. Presume it started with ctc lightning. Rolling in the clouds.

Thunder snow!

Euro at d4 was money.

Snowing hard. About an inch and street now covered.

A month ago we’d be dancing in the streets with this setup

I think you’re toast. The heaviest should be over but showery and cold with wet fairways doesn’t sound like fun.

The Red Sox have had strong pitching. Always has been the name of the game.

For me, once I retired I blimped. My wife texted me a picture of me sitting outside when we were in Florida and I was appalled! This after noting a 10 lb weight gain in October and maybe another 15 after. So I immediately trimmed portions and stopped eating sweets. I also stopped the habit of snacking on cheese and crackers. I’m a huge cheese lover and salty is more preferable to sweet for me. I limit cheese greatly. Total abstinence with food for me doesn’t work so I treat myself occasionally. I like my oatmeal a bit salty. Anyway once I made the changes after Florida my clothes are looser and I’m feeling better. Want to keep at it to get down to a reasonable weight. I avoid weighing myself-just eat less and more healthy. I have always exercised mostly walking and strength exercises now. But food intake is the culprit for weight gain for me. Another motivator is blood sugar. Fasting glucose in October was 99 which is at the upper end of normal. Haven’t measured A1C but I feel best when I’m running in the mid 80s to 90. I want to avoid diabetes as much as I can.

Yup. I’ve had 5 if them...due for another bit need a little break....

Don’t you think that gives a window into one of the reasons the USA has not done well with regard to spread. Our workplace norms are often inhumane.

We paid $1100 for 13 days in a very basic car-about triple normal when we went to FL late February.
