I’ve been up to roaring plains and dolly sods for hiking trips in the summer. I’d like to rent a cabin up there within striking distance of hiking options.
I absolutely will, love the beer and atmosphere there. I started going up to Davis to ski at white grass in the winter of 09-10 and had been going almost every year since but the weather hasn’t cooperated recently. I can’t even remember the last time I was up there in good conditions, maybe 2016 or 2017. Last time I was up there in winter I did a couple runs at timberline cause the snow wasn’t good enough for cross country.
Not bad, not as many kids login as I’d like. DCPS changed the grading scale so there are no 0’s and half the work is extra credit, so the kids literally just have to do 1 assignment to get an A. Can’t really blame them for not doing more.
Trolls=people who dont agree with you lol?
Well there was @PhineasC, he makes some valid points but always throws in a hefty dash of the culture war stuff. “All the elite people enjoying the quarantine ordering door dash...” But then there was one guy who just posted worthless comparisons to the flu nonstop and another guy who posted some incoherent nonsense. At the end of the day the thread was fine. I say open it up!!!
The thing that this crisis has really laid bare is how deeply people mistrust institutions and government. People really think Larry Hogan’s motives are something other than public health.
It’s another excuse for people to exercise what they think of as “freedom” which really just means acting like a toddler and shirking their responsibilities as citizens.
Yeah I’m just in my ivory tower ordering takeout watching Netflix living in lockdown paradise, it’s awesome, I wish they’d extend it through September.
I’m pretty neutral on when to end the shutdowns. Doesn’t seem like there is a consensus on when to roll things back and whether or not people will even go back to normal activities quickly. Obviously a lot of variables and not a lot of certainty about these decisions. It seems more like a guessing game given this is our first time doing this in recent history. The one thing that tilts me towards keeping it shut down is watching how much it annoys you, highly entertaining if nothing else.
IMO it’s a money grab by the college board, they’re not going to have proctors or cameras, a student could easily have a parent, older brother, etc, help them. If they can’t ensure it’s a true secure test they should’ve cancelled it.
