Dogon: Thank you for that. A very reasoned and informative response to my query. It's a hard thing for me to balance the freedoms that I consider to be my birthright with the harsh realities of this current challenge. You also seem to be privy to more credible facts about this lock-down than most are. The endlessly shrill (and perhaps destructive?) response from most of the media outlets seem to be the worst part of it for me. It somehow makes me want defy those perfidious twits or...at-least act to defend those freedoms, even if only symbolically. I will re-think my plans.

this too will pass...
lots of good books to read and re read, like "gone with the wind"...
lots of great tv series and movies to watch and re watch, like "any human heart"...and "quest for fire"...

I live in Portland and am lamenting that I may not get to go turkey hunting in a couple weeks. Yes, I could head to the hills, but a turkey isn't worth possibly infecting someone, or getting pulled over and getting a ticket for non-essential travel. Sigh.

Mark, is turkey hunting not grocery shopping?
Do what you feel is right, but if the turkey woods is close and unlikely to cause you to encounter someone, seems like it should be doable. I am hoping to go in a couple or three weeks.

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike" - John Muir, Travels in Alaska.
Shamelessly stole the quote from a fellow on another website. Seemed appropriate here.

It somehow makes me want defy those perfidious twits or...at-least act to defend those freedoms, even if only symbolically. I will re-think my plans. You're more than welcome. I've spent quite a bit of time attempting to separation facts from fiction over this whole mess & sometime feel the need to share the insights I've learned about it. We've all probably had to change or modify lots of plans lately. In the past two weeks I've had an elective surgery cancelled, have been in the loop for cancelling a field trail that was scheduled in early April in South Dakota, but the biggie was making the heart wrenching decision to call off the planned big family blow-out party celebrating my mothers 90th birthday yesterday. We had a hall rented and there were several family members scheduled to fly into town for the party. It was a tough decision, but the correct one. We did mange to pull off a small family gathering out in the front yard while making sure to keep plenty of distance from each other. It was enough to bring tears to Mom's eyes!

Somebody mentioned a cognitive dissonance (another physician, on another site) about the refusal to take this matter more seriously. I explained to him that because of our badly corrupted media (which has shamelessly abandoned any pretense of disinterest in political outcomes in this country) many folks just don't find a
lot of what is reported to be credible. I guess I'm suffering a bit from that problem as well.

Suffer from it? I dont think so. Theres a poster geezer for the condition, and probably near half the country will have contracted it come November. They try to quarantine him, but it t doesnt work, he sneaks out for five to seven minute embarrassments every chance he gets.

Lloyd & Dogon: We're also on "stay at home" order up here in Summit County. Even before this order it fell like we were living in a bit of a ghost town. When the governor shut the ski areas almost two weeks ago all the weekenders and spring breakers left. (Shortages disappeared with them).
Since the "lockdown" it doesn't seem much different, other than some odd retail issues. My wife and I went to a local store (to remain nameless) yesterday to buy a sewing machine and materials to churn out masks for a senior rehab center. The aisles for this stuff were roped off. We got permission to get what we needed, but ran into a "you can't buy this" at checkout. Then we were cleared. A second visit (had miscalculated on some things) took an act of Congress to complete, but we did. The funny thing is that other stores don't seem to have the same level of restrictions.
Anyway... we walk the dogs a lot, I fished a bit yesterday, and today was mask production. We'll have 70 made by tomorrow. Stay healthy, gentlemen!
