Heard about 8 million times by someone that has been married 9 times.

First pick from the Garden this year

With this news, 2 million new gun owners in first half of 2020 I thought this thread relevant... I had guns as a teen and young adult (CVA 50 cal mountain rifle, Remington single shot .410) but never a handgun. Had to qualify every year in the military (.45 and M-16) but with kids in the house, I wouldn't have one... Went out yesterday and bought a Glock 48 9mm. Scheduled a gun course for me and my wife (she has shot one before but it's been 35 years), and an LTC class after that. Looking for a biometric safe now...

In one of those decisions that make you go WTF? The State of Kentucky is allowing the Louisville FC (soccer) stadium to open at 50% capacity on July 11th. The stadium seats approximately 15.300 people, so you are looking at about 7,600 fans. Meanwhile, on July 12th, NASCAR comes to Kentucky Speedway. The grandstands there hold about 86,000 people. The State is allowing, get this, ZERO attendance at the race. So, the state is effectively saying it's okay to cram 7,600 people into a space designed for 15,300, but, one day later, it's NOT okay for 1 person to be in a space designed to hold 86,000. Kentucky math at it's finest.

I would give it a few days. It seems like it happens to me every year. I just went through it with my tomatoes thinking I was in trouble. I think the first few blossoms are the tax the state takes out before you can start collecting your tomatoes.

I think i got most plants in by the 3rd week of May..I live south of Bloomington and the weather has been good except for one cold spell and i covered all the plants with buckets due too a couple nights of frost.

Awesome work! When did you get things in and where at? I've got early signs of peppers in my pots....tomato plants just yellow blossoms but nothing else yet.

I'm in group 3. Very rare I see someone without a mask in a store so at least 95% by me. In MI, OTOH, I walked into a small store and was the only one with a mask out of at least a dozen.

Not a chance it is 80 times higher for that time period. The way testing has finally gotten to, pretty much anybody showing symptoms now can get tested. We're currently at roughly 600 deaths per day. Most of these deaths come from people who got it 1-2 weeks ago when we were having about 22,000 positive cases per day. At the peak, we had about 4 times as many deaths as we currently have, so you could say we might have had 4 times as many positives before those deaths. If there were 2.8 million who were showing symptoms, there would have been hundreds of thousands of deaths over that time period. Just the simple fact that more people who had mild flu-like symptoms went to doctors this year out of fear of having the coronavirus already throws the numbers off. There are a lot of false results on flu tests as well, and other things that have similar symptoms. How many people have food poisoning thinking it is the flu? I have no doubt the early numbers were higher than reported, but not even close to 80 times higher.

If I remember correctly, they live in Washington Heights? It is getting to be a bit of a pressure cooker, and I feel a bit nervous about the summer. Between COVID, almost non-stop protests, riots in Manhattan, stores and restaurants closing left and right, and now nightly professional- level fireworks from 8-3am, people have definitely been more on edge. I love fireworks, but they have been VERY intense. They've closed a lot of streets down to allow people a bit more room to get out of their cramped houses, but motorists just move the barricades and barrel down the street anyway. Lovely for the kids trying to play in the street. We've been walking a lot to alleviate some of that, but even that can put you on edge. Some blocks are great and others you are forced to walk by people on the sidewalk not wearing masks. The NYPD, pretty much useless even in normal times, are pouting maskless outside of their precincts (and behind barricades) and letting the fireworks fly. The mayor has finally turned his attention to it, but he's inept and hated as well. Thankfully, people are mostly being kind to each other and supportive of their neighbors. I feel like that's the big silver lining. It's weird, b/c so many people had started returning and now they are leaving again. I don't blame them. Glad your cousin was able to get some downtime. A walk on the Monon can do wonders!

Each time my wife and I venture out for an extended stroll here, she always turns to me at one point or other and says, "We are doomed." We are a combo of 1 and 2. Definitely no visitors seeing others, but we are venturing out for small errands (or picking up to go cocktails), but always masked.

I had to run some errands the last couple days and I would put the percentage of people wearing masks by me at 15-20% tops. It is scary.

I might be wrong, but I don’t think so. If I remember correctly, he won’t even be 19 by next year’s draft. I think you have to be 19 AND one year removed from HS.

I forgot where we heard it, but recall that Archie commented that things looked good with the ‘21 class.

I also am wondering if we are going to see even more transfers after this season. If kids are going to pick schools without seeing the schools we might see kids making more mistakes.

Not sure I agree on the last part. Maybe packed stadiums/gyms are risky......but coaches visiting players and player families in a controlled environment? Keep extending the dates for some of these things is getting a bit easy. Might just have to assume this virus is part of our lives and we take precautions in dealing with it.

Ha. I was concerned about temperature regulation also...and my wife will tell you I am lazy as well. So, crazy story with this purchase. I was unpacking it to assemble and the last piece I pulled out of the box was the top section...only to find out it had been smashed in, probably by a forklift. The lid was smashed in about 4 inches with paint scrapped off... and upon careful examination some of the other sections didn't look quite perfectly circular. I contacted Home Depot and it was the last one they had in stock and the manager checked and none of the other stores in district had any showing up in inventory. I took a shot and called Weber...and I will give them major props. The lady I spoke with was super friendly and went above and beyond to send me the 3 sections via FedEx 2 day shipping. All they required is providing them the serial numbers and a few pics of the damage and the damage on the box. This just makes me that much more happy that I chose a Weber product over some other brands...their customer service was outstanding. Provided I receive the parts as promised...I will continue to recommend Weber to anyone.

Additional info is what this forum is all about. Not that it matters. But, when I was in high school in Gary. There were 8 public high schools. Then reduced to just two. And Gary Roosevelt is being torn down. Leaving Gary West Side as the only public high school left in Gary. And though Jalen lost the entire season to an ACL... he remains in the top 20 of 247's rankings for his class.

I gotta hand it to you...you play the straight so well...

I hate to ask. But, Eastern, Central, or other time zone?

i t will happen before Romeo plays at Vandy, I guarantee
