My neck of the woods (Lake of the Ozarks, MO) made front page on most of the national media outlets. Numbers are still coming in but looks like about 300,000 people were here over the Holiday. https://www.lakeexpo.com/boati...63-e7c1b21202e5.html  99136718_10157535587087613_6397700571641413632_o | |||

This is a real article from Bloomberg news https://www.bloomberg.com/news...s&utm_source=twitter Quandary for High Flyers: How to Travel Safely to Your Yacht It’s a modern quandary for the ultra-wealthy: a yacht awaits at harbor, but how to safely reach it without risking exposure to the germ-ridden masses? Global aviation company VistaJet has a solution. Spurred by member demand, clients can reserve a freshly sanitized jet to fly them to a yacht moored in Malta (where, as it happens, VistaJet is based). Lest anyone be worried that the island nation itself is germ-ridden, a press release notes that “The World Health Organization singled out Malta as a role model for other countries in the fight against Covid-19.” Malta is the only destination for this service, so if your yacht is moored in Antibes or Porto Cervo, you’re out of luck. But if you’re the type of person who’s serious about yachting during a pandemic, then Malta is probably a place you should check out. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I mean come on people. Let's get some help for those people w yachts in Porto Cervo.  | |||

I have to say that this Memorial Day has been very different for me. I cant help but wonder how those who fell to ensure American freedom would feel when they saw how we reacted in panic and fear to this virus. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Forum traffic has been diminishing over the last week or so. People are starting to go back out into the world, plus I'm certain everyone is fully saturated with screen time. I'm glad to see it. Go outside and do something fun, like scaring the crap out of people by saying "hi" and approaching them.  | |||

Jackass Cuomo admits 'we all failed' at making coronavirus projections "We"? Speak for yourself, asshole. I've lowballed this stupid shit from jump. "We"? Ain't no "we" about it, man. While I and others have been trying to get people to calm down, you and the rest of your stupid leftist buddies have been doing your absolute best to try to frighten and mislead the public. "We"? Sorry, no. I got it right, while you got it very, very wrong, you melodramatic nitwit. | |||

The Mayor of Anchorage continues to be a dipshit. Governor Dunleavy announced last week the loosening of restrictions effective today. Basically back to business with, "Social Distancing" guidelines. All last week the mayor said he would relax restrictions on Monday but wouldn't give specifics. Well he did today, "Guidelines mean nothing, there needs to be consequences." And oh yes, the mandatory 14 day quarantine for out of state travelers arriving in the state, expires June 2nd, the mayor decided to extend it indefinitely for the City of Anchorage. He is becoming irrelevant very quickly. Last week he cancelled the Memorial Day ceremonies for Anchorage. Private citizens organized their own ceremony today in downtown Anchorage. The putz has left the lock on the gate in place for access to the local archery range in Kincaid Park, even though there has never been a regulation against parks and outdoor rec. Well, one of the local clubs cut the lock today. I despise the man, but unfortunately he'll probably get re-elected, or worse elected governor.

Here is more fun from the reign of the Evil Queen of MI: I have posted in the past about Michigans PITA can / bottle return law / system. Which is now shut down because.... wait for it.... the can recycling machines are too close together. But... When you buy anything glass or aluminum you still get gouged for the deposit. And now the big recycling operations in the state are claiming that residents are sitting on 50 million dollars worth of recyclable cans and bottles. The recycling companies fear they will be overwhelmed when the recycling kicks back in. The question I have is this: If the figure of fifty million dollars paid in deposits is accurate, who has the money? End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Memorial Day: Partygoers in Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks Shun Coronavirus Social Distancing <div class="mcclatchy-embed"></div> "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Anyone who owned a lake place around here had it packed with vehicles and people this weekend. Campgrounds are still closed but it didn't matter unless you owned a campground and losing you're income. We had thirteen people up at our place this weekend. Every neighbor had a average six or more vehicles and gatherings as big or bigger than ours. The Governor is fooling himself if he thinks he's got control of this. It officially ended for a lot of people this weekend. Not a mask to be seen and no social distancing going on that I seen. Boats on the lake had capacity passengers. Everybody is so over this already and this is Minnesota! "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

https://www.orlandosentinel.co...bh5wtem5q-story.html Incompetent and/or dishonest, agenda-driven news reporting: Headline: "560 people rescued from Volusia County waters over holiday weekend" Joe Mario Pedersen By JOE MARIO PEDERSEN ORLANDO SENTINEL | MAY 26, 2020 | 8:56 AM The top photo is from Cocoa Beach in Brevard county, many miles away from the center of the news story. The next image down is one of the actual crowds in Daytona Beach. You might get a different impression of the demographics of the problem from the top photo. ____________________ | |||

The photo is deceptive, angled to make it looked packed. You can't see the actual spacing- It's done on purpose. Like the fishing photos to make the fish look huge. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

I live on a lake with three campgrounds - all of which remain closed until next weekend. The neighbors had their twenty-one children and grandchildren over. The road in and out of our place was swamped with kids riding around on wheelers, golf carts, and minibikes. Cars parked all over the place. Yeah, I'd say he's fooling himself if he thinks the rural areas of MN give two shits about his EOs. | |||

What are the governors going to do three weeks from now when we don't have a giant explosion in new cases? Then what is the excuse for the lockdowns? This past weekend is the perfect experiment. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I liked this part of the article as well....  "Another incident involving a man tossing cash from his vehicle attracted a large crowd, as well, according to VCSO. The sheriff’s office released helicopter footage of a crowd of a “couple hundred people” surrounding the car on State Road A1A, near a Burger King. “We’re going to identify him, and we’re going to charge him,” Chitwood said, without elaborating on possible charges." | |||

On Sunday my wife and two children and I went to what is essentially the ONLY open-for-sitdown-service dining restaurant in the entire state of PA. The Round The Clock Diner in York, PA recently reopened in defiance of Dicktator-Governor Tom Wolf’s March 19 order closing ALL restaurants to dine in service and have been making the national news. It was about a hour and a half drive away for us, we got there around 5:30 PM, the place was as busy as it could be with the spacing they had, every other table, the people could not be nicer and the food was great. It felt almost surreal to be able to sit down and be waited on and have a real meal out. The last time we ate out was just before St. Patrick’s Day. They had a sign up about masks required to get in and to your table so I wore my Trump mask, as I am walking in and out I was getting complements right and left and all sorts of people asking me where I got it. (eBay) Wolfs goons have been trying day and night to shut this place back down with fines and pulling of licenses and all sorts of other silliness, but so far they have resisted and have remained open.  | |||

Sorry, no. I refuse to wear a mask under any circumstances unless I choose to do so. Since I am not expecting any sand storms or sub-zero arctic fronts moving through here, I won't be wearing a mask. Ever. I'm just not going to do it, folks, and neither should you. Nothing but theater, with the script written by imbeciles, and I do mean imbeciles. All the panic and hand-wringing and completely wrong speculation, and the trampling of our Constitutional rights. No. I want no part of any of this shameful behavior. People should be embarrassed for the way they have behaved and I hope that one day they come to realize how they've been manipulated into doing the stupidest shit and how they were made to cower in their homes over nothing. You heard me. I said 'nothing'. Live long enough to be embarrassed. How ever many months, years or decades it takes for people to realize that all of this was for nothing, they should live at least that long, and I want to be around when people start waking up. I want to see their faces redden. I want to see them cast their eyes to the ground when confronted by their past behavior. Be embarrassed. It's damn well warranted. | |||

We had another case of lock down hypocrisy here in Wisconsin this weekend. The liberal supreme court justice that wrote the dissent in the court's decision to end the lock down was caught partying out on a boat with another family breaking the social distancing rules she voted to impose on all of us in Wisconsin. Phony ass hypocrite, doubt it will get any main stream media coverage.  WI Liberal Supreme Court Justice Caught Partying on Boat . | |||
