From a couple years ago. A little older and follicle challenged. Me, mom, sisters and a niece. Just for scale my mom is 5'10"

Oct. 1 1961 Roger Maris hit his 61st homer to surpass The Babe.

Last one. Top left is my uncle David and my dad on the right. Newspaper article is my dad in action as IHSAA referee.

The first pic is my grandpa in Korea, the second is him in Vietnam with some "yards" as they called them back then.

My wifes uncle David Lynn Judy I encourage you to click on the link.

I have more but this is my favorite. Both my maternal and paternal grandpas died before I was born. My mom married my stepdad when I was 5. And the man I call my grandpa treated me like I was his own. I wouldn't be who I am today without him.

Like this one of my grandpa. Pretty sure it was taken in Bien Hoa,Vietnam. 1963 or 64, cant remember which year exactly.

This is the only one I have on my phone right now.

Josh Turner deserves some love too.

My all time favorite Merle Haggard

Sorry for being a pita. I'll check out of this now.

Covid-19: the problems with case counting This is from the British Medical Journal but but applicable to the US too. Article from Forbes Three Misleading, Dangerous Coronavirus Statistics

I've not been against precautions. By all means let's take them. But I remember them saying if we took those precautions then we could live relatively normally. I just want people making decisions to be consistent. It's been 2 more weeks for 6 months now.

This is what irritates me so much. Using case numbers as the metric for policy decisions. What age group do most of these cases fall in is what I want to know. The median age went from 54 in Feb-April to 39 June - Aug according to a CDC report. Cases really dont tell us anything. Heck a case could be 2-3 months old and no longer at risk of spreading. Where did all the talk about hospitalizations and deaths go? I guess those numbers aren't high enough now. Luckily for me I'm a cold weather guy so in winters I'm outside. And yes, we need some games to talk about.

Thought you had them all but....

I guess it depends on where you are. Its over where I live but it never began. China virus shut my wife's business for 3 months but we did ok. Dont know anyone that has been sick. People should live life like normal and go on. Quit being scared. What are people afraid of, getting sick? Whatever.

If you read the 2 links in the last paragraph, the first gives some detail on how the Chinese feel about their position in the global order. The second gives GDP projections into 2021. Find it interesting that they are projected for 8% growth in 2021 and the European and African nations they are invested in look good but the rest lagging behind. I am well read in communist ideology and tactics(know your enemies right?) and have read Sun Tzu's Art of War. Have read alot on SE Asia and the far east. The US is in various degrees of lockdown, but China is business as usual. Makes you wonder. One of Indiana's candidates is proposing stricter lockdowns as part of his campaign. UMM...NO.

I'll never hate another job again after seeing that.
