I walk the course almost exclusively (played around 225 rounds last year) . Nothing better than taking the time to walk and think about the next shot as you approach your ball. It equates to a few miles per round and in a typical season I'll loose about 25 pounds.

I just put up a golf hitting cage in the yard and I can go out and pound balls as much as I want. Not the same but better than nothing
 
Here is a brief clip from inside the cockpit of the Air Force Thunderbirds Las Vegas flyover on Saturday.


They were six across and only 3 feet between each other wing to wing.

Doesn’t social distancing require them to be 6 feet apart?

(I kid)

Other than the possibility of blowing chow, I would absolutely love to catch a ride with one of the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels.

I know what you mean, while I was in Turkey supporting the Kurdish relief, I was able to fly onto I believe it was the USS George Washington. The landing almost made you want to relieve yourself and the catapult launching made your insides feel like they were going to come out of both of your orifices.:eek:
 
Some pics of masks/coverings that people are using to protect themselves from Covid-19…

Was that Tom Cruise in the pilot's seat? :)
 
I have an acquaintance, a wonderful artist, semi-genius, serious patron of the arts...who wrote to me this evening with respect to my concerns of inequality with who suffers during this plague (noted above)

"The pandemic is indeed creating havoc to the the economies of the whole world. The necessary confinement has destroyed the economies of countries as diverse as The United States, France, Egypt and Lebanon and many more. It is worse than the 1928 crash and perhaps even worse than the black plague. In Lebanon about 40 to 50% of the population is brought to the starvation level! And the end is not in sight, not until a vaccine or cure of some sort can be devised."

I hope his fears are exaggerated.
 
Well after two months... I managed to get my paws on some hand sanitizer. I saw an ad in the paper for Faber Sanitizer... a 1 liter bottle for 10 dollars.... called the store to make sure they still had some.. cause its a 20-25 minute drive. Its 80% alcohol... and in large lettering on the bottle it says Do Not Drink.

A daughter, a nurse practitioner specializing in palliative care for the dying, has been up to her neck in COVID19 patients for 3 months. Yesterday she went to breakfast to discover she had lost her sense of taste and smell ... yup, tested positive, so she's out of the fight for at least 2 weeks.

Prayers for your daughter for a complete recovery. Hang in there.

We worry about our daughter-in-law everyday as she is an RN at Danbury Hospital. Danbury is still a hot spot for CT.

Congratulations! Have to admit, in the picture, if one doesn't read, the bottles look more like something one would drink than something one would use to clean or sanitize with. I am curious how things like this vary in different locations. Here in Austin, grocery shopping seems almost normal in terms of supply. I have gotten hand sanitizer, bleach, and non-bleach laundry disinfectant. I'm still looking in vain for non-bleach disinfecting cleaners for general household use. Prices have gone up. I admit that in the past I paid little attention to the price of most individual items so now I can't generally say exactly what went up and by how much. I just know that when everything is rung up, I am unpleasantly surprised by the total. Every now and then the price of an item I used to buy is eye catching enough that I put the item back on the shelf and quickly make a shopping plan B. Good news, economically speaking, is that my partner does and has always done most of the major food shopping! She tells me that, not surprisingly, protein food prices have gone up the most. That and cleaning supplies.

I will be looking here hoping for good news! I have so much respect for your daughter and other health care workers risking their own life and health to work with others.
