Just in the nick of time.  As the cases are starting to subside anyway. How does one reconcile the wearing of masks when going into a bank? They already tell you to leave off shades and hoodies or whatever could make a disguise. | |||

My local bank still doesn’t permit inside transactions except by appointment, but they do ask to show one’s face for identification. When the branch changed hands some years ago, they briefly had “no hats or guns” signs, but that didn’t last long. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

I’m at a park on the lake with my son. There’s a ton of people here, I don’t see anyone wearing a mask. The playground has signs and caution tape around it, but it’s all been knocked down. These people, like myself, seem to be totally over the nonsense. On the way out here, we stopped at a grocery store and a music store. Lots of masks in the grocery store, and one guy without who was wearing a black t-shirt with an outline of Washington state and a big “Fuck Inslee” on the front and back. He was on his phone so I grabbed my shirt with one hand and pointed at his with the other and gave him a nod and an enthusiastic thumbs up. I think we both needed the grin and laugh it brought us. The music store had a sign on the door that only two customers could enter at a time and must wear masks. I never see anyone in there, but I guess they’re doing brisk enough business they can afford to lose me at the door. That’s three different places in the last several weeks I didn’t patronize because the signage or being told by an employee I had to wear a mask. I don’t argue, I just leave. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Has anyone noticed someone wearing a mask with no one else around? I did today, a woman driving her car. We were at a 4-way stop so I got a good look and there was no one else in the car not even a baby seat. I don't know if she thought her car had the virus, or she had it and didn't want to spread it to her car? No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

I see people all the time in their car alone wearing a mask. The other day I saw a guy on a motorcycle in shorts, tee shirt, and you guessed it...a mask. For a couple weeks around here the number of masks seemed to be dropping but the last few days I'm seeing more for some reason. I've also seen them wearing a mask out walking alone on nature trails, etc. | |||

Today, before I left, I was at the kitchen sink washing my hands and looked out the window. My neighbor was in his back yard, alone, wearing a medical mask. Just sitting in a lawn chair, enjoying the sun.... ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

This is probably a dumb question. It's not that difficult to tell that a holstered pistol is a SIG, but how in the world can you glance at it and tell that it's a P250? I certainly can't tell one holstered P2xx from another without a fairly close look. A while ago, I was leaving a restaurant just as an older gentleman was stepping out of his car (I just laughed to myself, calling somebody else "older"). He did not notice that his untucked shirt had ridden up over the grip of his holstered pistol. No open carry here in Florida, other than law enforcement, so as I passed by him I quietly said, "You might want to adjust your shirt, your SIG is showing." He told me that it was a P220. I knew that it was a SIG, but as far as I was concerned it might have just as easily been a P6, P225, P226, P228, P229, P245,or P250. All I could really see was a grip panel and the hammer area, certainly not enough for me to distinguish which model. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Ok, I need to vent for a moment...I'm pissed. No I'm fucking livid. I'm as angry as I think I've ever been in 25 years. I spent part of this weekend with my parents (both 80+) for Father's Day. Like I imagine most older folks trapped in their homes most of the time right now, my parents have been attached to the TV and hanging on every word these GD liars in the media have been spreading, and they're scared, very scared. My dad, an ex-Navy man, spent part of Saturday telling me how concerned he is I'm out there moving around in public, and how he'd buy me some masks if I didn't have any. My mom, 86 with a serious heart condition has been unable to sleep much of the time, and her doctor is telling her her heart rate and other vitals 'have' to come down or she's going to suffer some more serious health impacts. My request that they turn off the TV, go outside, and sit on the patio was met with a "No, we don't want to take that chance" response. Nothing I tried to tell them about the 'reality' of this virus was accepted. They're simply too scared. These are good, very normal, people who I'm shocked just how indoctrinated they've become. My mother may not survive this 'crisis', but not because of some stupid bug, but because of the GD garbage media, politicians, and 'expert' liars driving her into the grave. Now I need to go try and mitigate my blood pressure before my eyeballs pop out of my head. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ I am seeing a lot of that. Coaxing them into seeing their family doctor might help. As I have stated earlier it has caused a mental health crisis for many in this country. The consequence is that many senior citizens are too afraid to go for their checkups and miss taking their meds. Worth a try. | |||

It was in an open top Kydex (type?) holster and the P250 has a very distinctive hammer that I’m familiar with because I have one. It only took a glance to identify it. Plus when I complimented the woman on her choice, she didn’t contradict me.  “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill. It is only a drill.

Polymer frame, looks like a 320, but is DAO so there's an obvious hammer cut out at the rear of the slide instead of the slide cap that holds the striker unit in.  Much easier to distinguish those two models at a glance than the 22x series guns. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

I had to go to one of our plants last Thursday, after working from home since mid March. Just a day trip about 1.5 hours drive away. So this was my first chance to see how things are now: Restricted to one entrance. Doors have been converted to automatic opening after waving near a sensor. Front door security guard is in a plexiglas box. There is a table with surgical type masks in paper bags, so I grabbed one and put it on. He sent me on a cordoned off path to go see a safety guy in another plexiglass box. Safety guy asks several questions: have I had the virus, have I been in contact with anyone who has the virus, have a felt fever, loss of smell, headaches (yeah but not because of a virus), etc. Then there was a temperature scan from a fixed camera. Then I had to follow the path back the the guard, watch the normal plant safety video, and wait for the person I was there to see. So then we walked the entire plant looking for places to put "collaborative robots" that our senior management thinks are the greatest invention ever and somehow are immune to the normal rules of automation. Yeah, they don't need guarding and are safe around people (if implemented correctly. I lost the removable side shields for my Rx safety glasses a while ago so I had to wear the safeties that go over your street glasses. That's fun with the mask and the fogging. And then in the office area every other cube is blocked off. Lunch was pre-prepared box lunches, everyone sitting at separate tables. We were able to discuss our findings in a conference room at opposite sides of a conference table. Company rules, have to follow them, but really after that one day I'm OK with working from home until this is done. | |||

^^^^^^^^ You need to show senior managment some 1950s horror flicks where the robots take over. Senior managment is probably drooling over the potential savings. Robots make mistakes that people would never make. | |||

You will get news reports. Nothing really special though. It's illness affecting the entire globe, so you will get results in the search. So any random number will show results, think about how many cities, towns, counties, areas, states there are in the US, then think about the fact that there are 190 countries with all their various divisions. I guess the point of the exercise is to test your critical thinking skills? If you think it is interesting the combination of number of places and Google's algorithm gives these results you pass. If you run around like a chicken with his head cut off you fail. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||
