Bullets, Bait, Booze & Burgers then any of the existing franchise burger sheds could easily convert. Add self serve gas & diesel out front. It's opportunity waiting for an entrepreneur. Set up a couple and start franchising the model. oh might make a TP dispenser like a pop machine for the gas customers.

One stop shopping

Bait, Booze & Burgers, your way... Never touched by human mucus

I've read that in S Korea it was common for people to walk around in public masked prior to this virus outbreak. They had sufficient masks for the population and their government did not lie to them about the benefit of wearing a mask as our Surgeon General and CDC did. As a general thing the Asian peoples have a greater tendency to follow instructions or comply with directives than western cultures as well. So, really it should be no surprise that they did better at containment of SARS-CoV-2 than we have in the USA where we are told not to mask by our leaders. And where every one who is not an expert telling others what do is a rebel who will not comply on principle.

I told y'all last week to wash yer hands before typing those posts. Expiration dates will just get extended, interpret them as being indefinite. There will be at least a year before any kind of prevention is available in the form of vaccine and until then the total lack of governmental preparedness will keep every agency in reactionary status. Daily or weekly or monthly reports are just BS to keep the pols in the spotlight and keep the voters aware of them. All of these restrictions are not for stopping or controlling the spread of the virus, they are aimed at limiting the numbers needing ventilators and intensive medical care til the medical supply system catches up. At some point the system will reach a point where they can manage more intensive care cases and the mortuaries can handle more deaths and that is when the shutdowns will ease up. We will all have SARS-CoV-2 eventually, if we don't die first of some some other reason. My hope is that the authorities will soon concentrate on a test that shows who has already survived it and turn those folks back to work, this random seclusion of people by job category just keeps many at home that have no chance of contracting it again or of carrying it, while letting other more vulnerable folks be exposed daily. We did a grocery pick up at Walmart (first time for us) yesterday and got Her medications at curbside too, they have temporarily reserved 4 parking spaces for Rx pickups and are training additional associates in outside sales, card only. My big observation of the day is that almost no one knows what 6' is and there needs be a general distribution of 6' sticks so these people can maintain a safe distance. 6' is two really long steps, perhaps 3 arm lengths. The average "social distance'' of people actually trying to maintain one was about 44" nose to nose, by guess.

A poor hunter needs to be a good long range shot. Or a lazy one, it takes effort to get close every time.

That would have been about 1983-85 more less based on the 'coon price. Fur market went bust in '87 and has never really recovered. Stink juice out of the skunk is worth more than the fur most years. I know where you can buy 800 'coon skins for $1 each right now.

Pretty common for "the English" to classify all bearded buggy users as "Amish" without knowing. That surprises me because of the conflicts it would have with their sense of close community. Well they won't be traditional Amish long, the kids will be absorbed into modern society and pick up modern mores.

Amish attend public schools? All that I have ever seen or heard of them they had their own schools and only to eighth grade. Walk to school in a one room. Some Mennonite kids go to public schools, a couple were in high school with me in the '60s.

they never have in my life time but I suppose you are right, they probably can but don't because the boot doesn't emit CO2 to attract them I should also note that ticks do get on above the boots if one brushes against weeds or bushes

I looked "factoid" up 'cause it didn't mean anything to me. I could believe that about the Amish community, all I know about Covid-19 is from the internet, places like OAF, we haven't had TV reception in many years. Some Amish don't have even internet, so I expect local gossip and inter congregational letters are about the sum of their news. I don't think they pay too much attention to the English other than in business.

factoid NOUN *an assumption or speculation that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact.

87F in my yard today- that is hot enough!!!

Servus is heavy enough for wood cutting, high topped, snake proof, comfortable fit, have good sturdy lug sole and wear a long time. Ticks can not climb up them. They do get sweaty in warm weather. Look for them at Orscheln or order from Amazon etc. Industrial not fashion though.

Doesn't specify, but I interpret that to mean the drivers are locked down or telecommuting and the fish will stay in the raceways. I also note that while the free fishing ends Apr 15 the no stocking doesn't end ...

Yes, Add in all those that don't have severe symptoms, all those who were sick and not tested got over it, all those misdiagnosed etc, the global percentages might be far less than any normal year. I think I came close to cashing in last winter after having the flu shot and getting the other variety of flu. Of course, it is novel; but then every virus is novel the first time they see it and those thing mutate so very easily.

After reading that timeline paste, I'd really like to see a graph or chart of it side by side with this years variety of seasonal flu. The more of that I read the more it seemed oversold.

I guess most regular anglers already have made that purchase in most states so the only ones benefiting are the folks put out of work by the panic and maybe fisheries managers hope to recruit some new blood that will purchase after the free ride is over. I know I always buy in advance just so i don't screw up and forget it that day. Obviously this is to protect the permit sales force from having to deal with thousands of "can't do anything else, let's try fishing" people up close, rather than any concerns about getting people outside. It's distancing the public from state employees, an abundance of caution, as they say. I feel very much cheated in that I paid $3 extra for the annual trout and now they won't stock the areas where it's good. Putting out the usual 23 trout per stream per month wouldn't hurt them much and there is just about zero chance crowds are going to make the effort to fish these white ribbon creeks.

Hare's Ear, Sawyer's Pheasant Tail- they will work anywhere there are trout and bugs. fwiw, the woolly bugger as originally tied by Russell Blessing is a hellgrammite or Dobsonfly nymph and buggers have been known to catch a trout here and there.

Will there be any trout left after three weeks free fishing? Apparently there weren't many left after the C&R season at RR and nobody was keeping limits in the winter either.

Curious who has that authority? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing, but I don't have a very good memory, maybe I have.

We skipped the senior time at the Jane store, figured it would be packed with old Arkies. She had been to Sam's just before the craziness started and bought the usual three month supply of stuff we get there, so we are fine on TP, for now, eventually we'll have to buy more veggies and meat though. I guess that just in time supply system isn't working if the shelves are still empty.
