    Brianh I called my local Y to make sure they were still charging me in the hopes it means employees will still get paid and they weren’t. I had them switch me to a “sustaining member” or something where they continue to bill during downtimes like this…not that there has been downtimes like this before. But, I’m lucky enough to still have a job and want to keep contributing to good places!

    Jonathon When I got to the shop this morning I noticed someone had broken into the storage shed of the restaurant across the street. Way to kick a man/industry while they are down.

              Joe Hell Man that’s rough. Sadly we are going to see more and more of this, or I am thinking we will, who knows, maybe people will surprise me but no matter how much most f us come together there are always going to be people who only look out for themselves.

                  On the lighter side of all the corona talk. Just talked to a gal who exclaimed…

                  " I feel like I’m sixteen again. Gas is cheap and I’m grounded"

                  Yep!

                      Just looking at some numbers from March '19 to this past March. Up 49k cases. Even with bars and restaurants all but shuttered, people are still getting their drink on. Good and bad. Feel for those places who are still the backbone! It’s coming around. You got this!

                        PapaSop People are always going to need food, booze and financial support. I’m very grateful to be a part of all of those industries and feel for anyone who is struggling. It will get better so long as we all do our part.

                          Sign of the times
                          Walked into Five Guys today, carryout only of course, and the order taker asked if I had an online or phone order I said no
                          He said they could not take walk in orders only on line or phone. Really? I asked.
                          So I walk out the door see the phone number and called in my order then walked back in told him my order name and waited for my order
                          By the way, three other people were waiting for their orders and we all practiced social distancing.
                          I wasn’t mad, if that’s the rule he had to follow it

                            glen Yeah…it is what it is. I’ve found people are generally patient and respecting one another’s space…as it should be. I’ve also seen many instances of extreme kindness. I’m optimistic that many will come out of this as better humans in general.

                              Good morning all,

                              It would be nice if all people had the optimistic view that you guy’s do! I can, however, See why people are fed up with the situation. I went to Costco the other day and they are only allowing a limited number of people in the store at once (great idea), but, everyone that is waiting to get in is huddled together in a line that extends to the rear of the building (in no way social distancing)!

                                wvhunter1965 We’ve got to stay positive! I will say this though, my civil liberties warning radar is starting to go off a little too often these days with seeing some of these ridiculous videos of people being pulled off busses or arrested for being in the park with their child. Once “lockdown” ends we all need to demand that stops immediately.

                                  Jonathon I had to read a book in college once for a class called “Insurgency in America,” it covered everything from our founding to the present day, we even got to watch The Patriot in class. We also had to read a book called “All the Laws but One: Civil Liberties in Wartime” by Cheif Justice William H. Rehnquist. It covers times in our history where the government has taken away our civil liberties, give it a read if you get bored.

                                      Jonathon Well…the largest concentration of covid cases in my area is centered around the Tyson Foods processing facility about 35 minutes from Walla Walla. This has of course caused a huge surge in business. We will have a 14 hour day today just filling orders. Glad to be working…but so tired.
