    That kind of news would shut CNN down. You surely don’t want that?

    Gonna celebrate the cold front with a big batch of enchiladas & nachos later. Fortunately others will be cooking and I'll be eating. :knifefork:

    The rest stops for truckers are apparently shutting down. More very bad news.

    It is apparently much worse now. Many of the places where truckers could park, use bathrooms, eat and sleep are closing.
    Truckers are no longer allowed to just keep driving until they find a refuge, and the loaders aka "loafers" can eat up hours of the time they have to get from point to point before a mandatory rest period.

    I've seen reports of individuals and families who are providing meals & snacks to truckers at rest areas now that truck stops are closing. Wouldn't it be awesome if we learn to take care of each other? :sun:

    Yes it would be. Truckers especially need a safe place to park and sleep.

    Gee I don't know.It depends on who the " we " are.
    I don't cotton the notion of just any " we ".
    Not all " we " are cut from the same cloth.

    I would like to keep the social distancing thing. 3 feet has always been my rule. Long before this virus, I would never get within 3 feet of a stranger in public as that is how far my personal bubble extends around me. Wouldn’t it be nice if everybody did that?

    Yeah. I've been wondering how "those" people are coping. You know who I mean. They're the ones who engage you in conversation, then keep walking towards you while you keep stepping back.

    You mean acting normal while forgetting what the New Normal
    is supposed to be.Which can change faster than a speeding bullet.
    More powerfully than a Locomotive.

    My horoscope didn’t say a damn thing about this hangover. I think it’s a farce.

    I am not good with strangers nor some people, the 3 feet rule is a good one and the 6 feet even better with some people.

    I have started sewing again and since this quarantine, it seems like my jobs around here have also increased.

    As far as watching news it has come to halt...no news, maybe a peek..it is like looking at a car wreck.

    I am too busy for either, I don’t remember working this much before. I am ready for a vacation.

    I'm busier, too. Work has been pretty steady and it's a full-time job to keep groceries on hand. I'm cooking more since I'm home all the time. Gonna make steakhouse soup tomorrow. Has to cook in crockpot for 8-10 hrs, so it oughta be good. :)
