    Hope so, but doubt it.

    I do not like the unintended consequences of taking adrenaline enjoying college football players and locking them down. Drugs, booze, fast driving, not understanding when girls day no, and violence.

     

    Car accidents, assaults and other malfeasance is highly likely.

     

    Cool the Green got another BB recruit today!

    I beg to differ.

     

    I rather enjoyed being judged on the quality of my snark back in the day. For example my lack of enthusiasm for Eico integrated amps.

     

    Of course the Russian judge scores were ridiculous.

    I did but changed it, wanted to see what the natives would say. I will erase the comments at some point.

     

    Tired of the BS, you know how that goes.

     

    .

    I left BS for a long time before its demise. Missed it when it departed just a bit. 

     

    My preference if for us all to learn minus inherently inflammatory muck.

     

    If you are old, grey, drunk and make a mistake, do you get a warning?

    And now, a reading from the book of the holy hand grenade....

     

    It is hard being an engineer in a pandemic when problem solving strategies and critical thinking are lacking in some. Like the MP.

     

    My wife is a 25 year educator, wife of 38 years with a long list of math and science degrees a few classes short of her doctorate.3.94 GPA

     

    Her greatest concerns are in a few bullets:

     

    -increased risk of suicide

    -increased difficulty with sociopathic students

    -in home parental abuse

            My wife's' father was very physically abusive, she is certain his behavior would have been severely worse in these conditions

    - Severe at risk kids (fetal alcohol syndrome, prenatal drug abuse, autism, downs syndrome, and others) never will recover 

              Our two adult sons are severely dyslexic / dysgraphic.

     

    Two dysfunctional years back to back is a huge concern  on many levels for educators, including their own health. Multiple contingent action plans.

     

    Her district is very rural mid michigan with a poverty rate of 63% in recent years. Hard telling what it is now.

     

    Every family in every county needs to be patient and make good local choices dependent on the very diverse variables as they keep changing day to day and week to week.

    Been waiting all day for someone to mention 85 infants in just one county in Texas has the virus, and one has already died. 

    Been studying this before it got a name in early January. Gain of function is incredible in this virus. Amazingly communicable and now it is confirmed to work well in hot weather. What little I know about Corpus Christi it is a top Texas beach party town. Too be avoided.

     

    Social distance is not too hard. Apathetic and irresponsible citizens are free to choose. I keep my family and my 84 year old mom away from them.

    Can't replace key years of brain development and learning in kids under 10 or 11 yrs old.  It doesn't come back. 

    Exactly.

    My wife has a PhD in curriculum development. 

    At risk students and teachers should be very cautious or constrain from school. Everyone else needs to get back to school. Suicides are on the rise, this is my greatest concern.

    Yep, and their writings and teachings are avoided in schools. We keep doing the same thing and we keep getting the same results, only now it's getting worse. I have Dismantling America, by Thomas Sowell, on order, and will be getting Intellectuals and Society when I can. I haven't read any of Walter Williams books, but I will when I have time. 

    Sad commentary when moral economists are marginalized.

    I just picked up the second Of Baldacci's Atlee Pine series.  My favorites are the Will Robie series.

    Halfway through book one of Atlee Pine.

     

    King and Maxwell now is my favorite series of his currently.

    I'm thankful everyday that I've always lived in the country, avoid major cities and rarely have any reason or need to venture into dense, urban areas.  When I was a teenager living in N.E. Pa., we would occasionally make some night trips into NYC and Philly just to cruise with the bikes or our cars that were way too loud, but that was a different world. 

    After the last crash brought gangs to my suburban Detroit school system I moved to the county 40 miles NE of Grand Rapids MI. Prepped for the next crash by engineering a sustainable farm in 32 acres. Blind squirrel makes a good decision every now and then. I knew the riots were coming since early 2019. Gut feel from the TDS observations.

     

    Hopefully the Marxists can be contained in the cities.

    The debacle has exceeded my expectations.

    I had to lay off 50+ employees exactly one month ago - our business went to ZERO in matter of 3 days. Very few of my people will qualify for ANY Stimulus because they are highly paid - most make between 90 and 115 K per year - some without working spouses might get something. CA unemployment is $450/week so they are getting that - and there is supposed to be a supplemental amount above that as well.

     

    I applied for a SBA loan because bills don’t stop even if revenue does.

     

    We are shuttered and I don’t really expect we can resume until late summer or early fall.  It’s a bloody nightmare. Our industry really can’t operate under any sort of “social distancing” in many ways.

     

     

     

     

    I did not see this when posted but was thinking of Alan's business when everything went wonky.

     

    NUTS!

  11. Ooh welding could cause a warp or distortion. Just brainstorming.

     

    My nemisis is a steel bolt into aluminum. V6 Ford T Bird accessory drive bolt into aluminum cylinder head about 12 years ago.

     

    MAPP gas for heat if possible. Propane just does not get hot enough sometimes.

     

    Good luck.

    Al Cayola

    Lindsey Buckingham

    Kenny Loggins

     

     

    Have to give this some thought

    Kenny Loggins is a very underappreciated guitar player.

     

    I saw Elvis Costello at the Heat Wave outdoor festival north of Toronto in 1981 I think. Not a great guitar player at that time but songs and stage presence were off the charts.
