Insanity continues
« on: March 17, 2020, 11:59:37 AM »
The mayor of Reno issued orders yesterday for all non-essential businesses to close until April 5th including casinos. Mayor Hillary quickly found out she doesn't have as much power as she thought. She has now said the casinos should follow the directions of the Nevada Gaming Board. That cracks me up and the Washoe County Health Dept. also said they have nothing to do with her orders and it is for the city of Reno only. Women named Hillary are scary when they think they have the power to control your life.

Meanwhile the major grocery chains in the area are advertising to hire more employees. They need more people to stock shelves and pull orders for pickup and delivery.

I sure hope some of the folks who are out of work because of the virus take the grocery stores up on the jobs.  It may help tide them over till things get back to normal.

Our Governor ordered our casinos, restaurants, theaters and bars closed and anywhere where 50 people would gather.. We are headed for an interesting time for everyone.  Business is going to drop off and cash flow will get tough for a lot of people.

Yep, AZ is closing the universities, schools, public events, and a host of other things.....but leaving the Mexico/US border open.  :017:

The political and Deep State sources of this crisis are becoming more apparent by the hour.

Since the wife and i are "elderly", we are staying home mostly. She doesn't get out much except to taxi grandchildren and since school has closed temporarily, she hardly goes out at all.
I am involved in our local museum and it is closed for a while.
We have a Classic Car and Truck show on the third Friday of each month, but that is also postponed.
Lots of internet, Facebook, Xfinity, and Netflix.

I’m screwed, I have between 25 to to 35 people a day on site. And most have to ask some stupid questions or look at my drawings hourly. I bet I will be the first on here to get it.  :91:

I sent notice yesterday to my new house builder that I was putting the stop to that deal. Our plan was to build new and then sell ours after completion of the new one. I don’t want to lock in a high build price now and then sell low in seven months. I would rather wait and see what happens to property values over the next couple months.

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it must be electrical.

I would of loved to be in San Diego getting that Big Eye Tuna and Opah for $10 per pound right off the boat. What a shame they have to sell it for 1/3 market price to get rid of it.

Well, with the NCAA tournament cancelled, and ALOT of local places are gonna get screwed out of alot of fan money. Many places have laid off employees and things could get ugly if this shut-down drags on as we are a heavy tourist town. Fortunately the Gem and Mineral Show just ended in February before the lock down hit, so those vendors got paid.

The Mrs and I have cancelled a trip, another trip could be affected. Luckily we hadn't already booked accommodations yet.

Pelosi and Schumer believe that pork is what's needed to stimulate the economy and get us on a road to recovery. I am going to have to do my part and am making a pork loin for dinner. :great:

Had a family relative with a trip to New Zealand planned soon. I'm figuring that's a bust. Breathing recirculated air for 17 hours. No thanks!

I'm thinking Staycations are gonna be a big hit this year.  :D

I flew last week. All 9 of us on the plane got the option to sit in first class and got first class service, I enjoyed it greatly. TSA lines are short and smooth, very little panic because the only people left flying are the professional travelers.

I guess the train engineer let his conspiracy theories cloud his judgement when he derailed his locomotive trying to ram the hospital ship in L.A. harbor.
According to the reporter he steered his train at the ship. Conductor, how big a steering wheel does a locomotive have? :021:
