Have you considered having some cards printed to save time?

I dreamt the covid was the beginning of our end. Not a good dream. Optimism or pessimism is much more than picking one or the other or that balanced nuance of what's possible, what's likely and what effects seem most likely. Speaking of the pandemic and the ripples here. Personally, I'm optimistic for me and mine. Globally, less so.

Nice. Good to hear you are a friend of ravens.

I do not want to watch USA as I've known and love it to go down the tubes. But honestly.. I fear it may be too late, in a lot of ways we are already there.

And yet the markets are nowhere near the March lows.

Springfield looks almost back to normal in a lot of places.

Griz Wilson and I launched one day at Rim Shoals. There was us waiting to launch and one other truck and trailer parked in the lot. A guy with a brand new Topwater and trailer was launching when we got there. When he pulled up in the parking lot, he ran his trailer right over the tire and fender of the only trailer that was in the lot. Got out of his Suburban and gave himself a flat spot on his forehead.

Stop picking on me.😭

I saw goat hay at the MFA the other day. It looked a lot like the regular hay sitting right next to it. Piqued my curiosity.

I've got two home made fabric masks and a buff. We bought a 50 pack of paper masks yesterday for $30. Also a couple containers with 75 wipes each and a bottle of hand sanitizer. Use all of them and only go where necessary, always with a mask on.

I'm ground source and it's great. Thinking about solar but haven't made that jump yet either.

Yeah, I noticed they're getting a little muddy. They've had a trim now.

This an heirloom big beef. About twice the size of when it went in the ground. When it warms up we'll see some growth! The Cherokee purples are about the same size and are also wearing blooms. Which I will not be pinching off! Crooked neck squash in the background. There's a hill of zucchini at about the same stage too.

I've tried it and do not care for the texture.

Wifey says same thing. I doubt it but who knows for sure? Unless you've been tested. Not for us regular folks though, at least not around here.

I would not say alas. Shoot for not getting it!

I notice how the places I go to buy things handle their interactions with customers. Cannot tell until you are there, but... the places that are taking reasonable steps - masks for staff, cleaning carts, putting up those plexiglass barriers etc. are the ones I'll go back to. The ones that basically say you're on your own? No thanks for next week. Very noticeable differences in that down here.

Exactly. It was a dream. There was no happy ending.

Ha Ha. Hilarious.

I've read on multiple sites from multiple sources that in the end, it's expected that 60% to 70% of the population will get the covid. I'm doing my best to be part of the 30% to 40% that doesn't. I'm a contender. On a slightly related note, I had a horrible dream last night. In the dream, we (humankind) learned that one currently unknown effect of the disease is sterility. I woke with the sense that this is our asteroid moment and in a few million years the evidence of our mysterious disappearance will be argued at length.

Same here.

Yes to all. Do check with the bait store. They'll be able to fix you up.

If you're up for a little traveling, the Osage up around Taberville is my old springtime area, especially with the kind of water we are seeing lately. We always tried to fish the third rise. Cut shad, shad guts or a big old gob of worms. Anchor the boat, put on enough weight to get bottom and give it a whirl. If no bites in 15 minutes, move. It's mostly blues and a few channels. Occasional flathead but they're more night time with live bait - a bluegill, goldfish or if you can find them carp. There's a bait and tackle place in Taberville and they could probably steer you in the right direction.

Philistine that I am, I get along OK with 7' Browning Airstream. But I'm far from an expert.

Wow, very nice!
