In THe NEWS... Corona

I am learning if I watch national news from any broadcasters it's the same repetitive spin...……@Farmall I think what we tell folks on forums like this what's happening in USA real people talking about their areas you get more true info than media on tv. If we all hear say what's happening let each other know about local happenings. Current events
 
Illinois is in lockdown as of yesterday, and I am SO glad I'm in the middle of a grow. The irony here is that this is my first legal grow and it's a big 'ol who cares. I'd like to send Pritzker a kiss, some pics, and a thank-you note for approving indoor medical grows, but the pot issue is a bit of dryer lint at this point. Maybe I'll do like oldjarhead100 and throw some plants out in the backyard in May, thus preserving my outlaw status for one more season! At this point, I can't see the neighbors bitching much.
 
I try and find news online go to forums like this as well as tv to get a more rounded perspective. The usual tv news suspects regurgitate the same pile and i find my brain going numb. No wait that's the 2 teaspoons of tincture I accidentally on purpose ingested.
But seriously unbiased news is difficult to find.
 
ChefSheri I tend to agree but just know there are neighbors who ...under any circumstance, believe they are guardians of moral decency and law and go out of their way to just get into your affairs and make things miserable. I had a neighbor like that once. They moved THANK GOODNESS . Me, I could care less. Live and let live
 
How would that friendly greeting go if they each reached for the last roll of toilet paper.... ‘ oh sorry, you take it, no...you take it “. Hmmm
 
Thanks Farmall -- funny thing is, we had THOSE neighbors too, and they too moved away. Their house is sitting empty next to mine (3 yrs now), and I'd love to plant a crop in that backyard; it's much more private than mine! It helps that we're near the end of a dead-end street, and most of our neighbors are 55+ and all pretty cool. Their teenaged grandkids stealing my plants? THAT I'd worry about.
 
I have good neighbors, and I have methhead neighbors, neither of those would touch my plants, its the fucking thieves that I would have to deal with. Most of those know I am a long hair with a big gun and sharp shovel. Further I know where the soft soil is. My other home is off gird, solar power, rain water feed, I may just have to toss out some autos over there.
 
yesterday i ordered some groceries to be home delivered as i usually do from the supermarket, the delivery guy came 4 hours later with the stuff, so i asked if orders are going up because of the situation, he responded "ohh yeah... people that ordered yesterday are still not getting their things today, but im prioritizing the regular costumers over the new ones" so i felt very privileged and fortunate that they want to remain loyal to their loyal costumers, but i also feel kinda bad because i know there are people that may need the delivery service more than me, like someone sick or lonely seniors. anyway just wanted to share and i hope everyone is doing fine
 
The auto repair shop that just got bought and turned into a smog only station. The one down below. You know the one.
One of the owners is... on the border corralling a surge of people getting over since they can't get through the border crossing. ICE is not arresting nor detaining any of them. They get put on a bus. When the bus is full, it heads for a place the people go back.
Repair shop owner says it's quite an activity.
 
Welp I got some family coming for dinner this afternoon. She's a Physician Assistant he's a trucker they are quite the fun family she'll be telling me all sorts of shit from the Dr. she works under and what's happening in her MD practice. OK well gotta go peel taters, mixup my gravy fixins, cut my beans up and put the big ass chicken in the oven. They're bringing the wine ;) yep staying in !
 
"It's not completely possible nor probable I heard or am making up" I'm going to have to steal this, perfect for the times.
 
We are coming to the end of another day. I went to the city to Whole Foods this morning for the first time in weeks, got there around 8:45, it was pretty empty, and me and the other shoppers gave each other wide berth, though I tried to smile at people. It's funny how people avoid eye contact, like it's gonna give you covid-19 to smile at someone and say howdy.

I'm really hoping that these numbers reflect the positive effects of most people sheltering in place, staying home. It would be nice to think that the slowed-down climb from Mar 23 to today means that we did do the right thing in pretty good time. However, I could be totally wrong, with the numbers climbing for the next few weeks. But I'm trying to be realistic and hope for the best: that people keep doing the right thing and shelter in place. Gimme shelter.
