This was open to the public. They got Zoom bombed in a pretty disgusting way so it was shut down. Ugh. Awful. They had one last week here and another one coming up. They opened the zoom up to 1000 participants. Luckily we didn't have any issues like you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, of course then you get what you saw, so what would be better. Sometimes common sense needs to win out. They also had the meeting on the local channel on cable.

I've read that great whites can partially thermoregulate, thus can remain active in colder waters than can most shark species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good hiking on the mountains on either side of the lake, Mt. Pisgah and Mt. Hor We did today. Swam and kayaked. Absolutely beautiful lake, looks like what I imagine a fjord would look like. Hiking up Pisgah tomorrow. What a gorgeous area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way that's all happening outside It has to be locker room or just spending time together. You don't get 15 players and a few coaches on top of that to just pick it up outside the game.

Hiking up Pisgah tomorrow. What a gorgeous area. Like I said, it's my favorite lake in the state and it's the deepest. I've snowmobiled on it in winter but it feels a bit creepy standing over 300' of water. There is a nude beach there too. I think it's on the south end. Edit to add: It's a pretty cold lake too. I've gone swimming there on really hot days and you would swear the the glacier had just finished melting that morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bad I had my annual follow-up with my Hematologist back in April. Was a tele-health appointment. I had to get my blood drawn at a local place beforehand. I can understand the fear from patients whose immune systems are compromised while they undergo chemo/radiation therapies for not wanting to venture into these hospitals that are also treating Covid patients. My father-in-law is currently doing chemo for a Glio that was diagnosed in March just as the shit was hitting the fan. That was a surreal time for them, going to Yale-New Haven Hospital for initial diagnosis and surgery and follow-up at Lawrence-Memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Conspiracy theorists dabble in plausibilities while negating the probabilities - and that's what suspends their disbelief ... psycho babble feeds back, viola! they're out to get us - But, the Gov of Mass is not helping when they put out products that look like this. Yet, under the auspices of where are the 'low risk states' vs 'high risk states' ? This looks like a child did this - anything that's not us. Almost smacks like we're all just a bunch of beef-witted plebeians that are too stupid to "get it" so just "tell 'em not to go anywhere" I don't know if this is lazy or swamped ...probably the latter, but this really needs some sort of qualitative refinement .. It looks like a tongue-in-cheek prop behind "Weekend Update" on SNL. This makes no logical sense - they're doing rolling percentages and some other explanatory method that doesn't really fit "reality" ... Massachusetts ( for example...) has a population of just over 6.8 million, and a caseload that brings to ~0.4% of the population, and Alaska has a caseload to pop ratio that comes to .01% ....why are they high risk and Mass low risk? I'm sure there's something else to this but that's bad art/presentation for an increasingly skeptical and perturbed population that's about ready to suck on a f'n covid pipe out of frustration anyway!
