I wouldn't say that I am antivaccine. There are vaccines that I support. But I don't get flu shots. Especially don't believe that getting a flu shot makes you immune to the flu. Too many strains. The issue with COVID mutating at a high rate is a big concern for me whether a vaccine would be effective.

Mitch have you listened to any Strunz and Farah? I like these guys.

I saw that Costco was going to limit meat purchases in their stores nationwide. It's not the production folks having the issues. It's the processing plants. Losing lots of workers to COVID. The biggest outbreak near us has been the counties with the chicken processing centers. About 10 times the number of cases than in our county.

Lay lady lay.. Lay across my big brass bed. Stay lady stay.. stay with you man awhile.

Saw them in concert. It was a great show.

I'm glad to have experienced the Wilburys. A great bunch of talent and ..Well It's alright, we're going to the end of the line."

I also heard that the state amphibian is the bullfrog. Also a supposed invasive in Missouri. Certainly is a problem in places like Texas and Arizona since they eat most things that are smaller than they are. My personal #1 hit listed invasive has to be FIRE ANTS!

I think that these guys are pretty cool. The leaf/leaves are up for most of the year then it dies off. Then the flowers emerge before the leaves come back out again. Would see lots of plants through most of the year, but I have always missed seeing them in bloom.

MTV had enough rock videos in the early days to keep my attention. As well as Martha Quinn☺!

This was the very first video to ever air on MTV. I was never much of a 80s pop fan.

What about Pop up videos for the younger folks on this forum? Didn't like the music so much, but the pop ups were entertaining .

Pretty much like making a chicken pot pie.

My wife made a great chicken ala king dish last night. Got me thinking. Poll Question: When eating chicken ala king do you put it on Toast Rice

Looks great Seth!

It may not be the nicotine. Look at the folks that vape or take a nicotine patch to compare against those that smoke to see if it is nicotine. I believe that it's very likely that the tar inside of a smokers lungs makes it difficult for the virus to come in contact with actual cells. Just a thought.

Congrats to the boys on their birds! Good looking pizza as well😁.

The father of one of my employees died in a nursing home from COVID last Thurs. Only case that I know of that has affected someone that I know..

Developers loved them probably because the bradford pears have that lollypop shape and grow like weeds. As everyone here recognizes they tend to split at the rosette of branches that make up that lollypop shape. As they hit the undeveloped areas, they are a nasty invasive species. The commercially available ones must be a hybrid, because many of the younger trees seem to revert to a parental version that has large thorns. Oh and as @Terrierman stated they might look nice when flowering, but they stink! Tear them all out would be my recommendation. However, they are still being planted in new developments.

Forgot about mulberries. We do have some trees that we could harvest mulberries without too much consternation. We've never tried mulberry jelly. I do agree that having birds above your vehicles and a tree full of ripe mulberries is a purple mess everyday through the season.

Having the virus does not mean that you end up in the hospital or die from it. The idea of getting it small is to minimize the amount of virus that you are exposed to initially. A smaller amount of virus will take a longer time to build in your system to the point where you are having full blown effects, like the fevers, flu-like systems, lung congestion, etc. The longer it takes for the virus to build to those levels the better able your body is able to develop the antibodies and other immune defense response to the virus. If you get a large amount of the virus, for example an infected person sneezes in your face, then your immune system may not be able to effectively respond in time to the virus before you get really sick. Go back to @snagged in outlet 3 example of exponential growth with the pennies in this thread or one of the others dealing with COVID discussions. Getting it small would be the equivalent of having 100 or 1000 pennies to start with instead of 10 or 100 million pennies. The reason that there are people that are infected but are asymptomatic is probably due to them getting a small exposure to the virus and their immune system was able to fight the infection. The idea behind the insistence of wearing cloth or masks that are not N-95 rated is to minimize the amount of virus that they are exposed to initially. They are not really being used to prevent people from getting the virus.

I remember the great lies in life included the following: The check is in the mail. I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Here's a couple Contact tracing is imperative to stop the outbreaks of the virus and must be implemented before we can open up the country. It's not not a means to create a Big Brother society with the government legally tracking all of our movement and interactions by our phones and computers. We need compulsory testing of all Americans before we can open up the country instead of common sense guidelines like distancing, hand washing, masks, etc. to minimize the spread of the virus. A vaccine will is absolutely necessary to combat the virus and it will be 100% effective like the flu shots. Herd immunity won't be able to stop the virus because it is too virulent.

I have the best of Dr Hook CD. Listen to it on long road trips😁. And I got more money than a horse has hair. Cause my rich old uncle died and answered all my prayers.

looks good Mitch! Happy Bday!

I know that MD has raspberries and blackberries. Probably huckleberry in the mountains. Not sure about gooseberries.
