magpiemaniac Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I’m so bored lately that I’m finding myself pretty excited about the prospects of an unusually rainy week. I don’t mind 4”-5” of rain over several days. I just don’t want it all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ready for some hockey! The abrupt end to the NHL season has sort of left a “what if” feeling for me. I was growing confident that the Canes could at least earn a wildcard and then who knows what else. Ugh. I’m not optimistic that the 2019-2020 season will be resumed. And based on articles I’ve been reading, there are questions about if and how fans would be admitted into arenas and stadiums for the upcoming fall hockey and football seasons. I won’t take the simple pleasures for granted anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think you can kiss the NHL, NBA, and MLB seasons goodbye for this year. I highly doubt football season will be cancelled due to states starting to open up again more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are talking events in two cities if they can get the players overseas back in the country. We will see if they can pull it off. If that happens I wonder if Dougie could go by then?

nwohweather Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Wanted to gauge everyone's thoughts here on coronavirus. I've basically been treated as the devil on my native region's (Lakes/OV) forum for opinions on the coronavirus and wanted to know what everyone thinks? Haha not here to start an argument but the thing I cannot get over is the fear seen in the northern states compared to down here. Was on the phone with relatives back in Ohio and they were aghast that two of my friends from Charlotte came down to do beaches, kayaking and restaurants this weekend as though we would all die. I'm wearing masks at all stores and what not but didn't know if everyone was just hunkering down or if you guys are simply being cautious out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Being cautious here. Not going anywhere near big crowds. Only go out for food, groceries, and doctor's visits. I do walk my pups twice a day. Will not be going into any restaurants for at least another month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wearing masks at all stores and what not but didn't know if everyone was just hunkering down or if you guys are simply being cautious out there If you are under 60 and do not have preexisting health conditions, you are at very low risk from the virus, even if you do contract it. If you are under age 20, we know that flu season is far more dangerous to your health. I have yet to wear a mask anywhere here in southwest Virginia. It's not being enforced or even directly suggested at any store or service provider I have visited. If I end up some place that demands wearing one, I suppose I will, but as an engineer, the idea that nonstandardized, random, contaminated pieces of cloth can appreciably prevent or stop the transmission of a tiny virus is just short of believing in magic beans. I wouldn't pile into an arena with 10,000 other people at this point, but freaking out about an unmasked person at a beach has no rational basis in the data we have.

Solak Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 My wife and I are both over 65 and both considered high risk, not just because of age, but underlying issued as well. With my wife being somewhat disabled, it adds another dimension. If I should get the virus and have to self quarantine, she couldn't take care of a lot of her basic needs - preparing meals, bathing, laundry, etc. While I'm concerned for my own well being, my bigger fear is possibly bringing it back to her. Locally, our cases are relatively small compared to many other areas in the state. Still, I'll continue to practice the safety suggestions when I go out, and continue to limit my trips out shopping.

nwohweather Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Interesting to hear everyone’s thoughts. I posted the following below on the Lakes/OV forum and was attacked and called uneducated. It seems like in the southern states we are being precautious while northern states are just terrified of this. Apparently Stay at Home orders are in effect until mid June in Michigan and you are even limited on what you can buy at a store like Home Depot (paint and plants are non essential items so their purchase is disallowed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's where you can find the April NC average temperature departure.

Alfoman Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Which paid model subscription do you think would provide me with the best graphics/access going into the hurricane season? I've probably held off on subscribing to a premium one for a decade, but I think it is finally the time, given I've finally graduated now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
