There will always be the rogue community that buck the overwhelming majority. Most don't want to bring back mandates as it only huts them from a tax revenue standpoint. I see maybe a handful who would go to that level on their own and my bet is those are the touristy locations. Sucks you had to wear a mask for that long. I only had to wear one grocery shopping or when I went to clients homes for work. Our Office is small enough that we never bothered with masks and we can keep apart.

Little chance. Cities and Towns here don't want to go to that level. It will be a last resort if the trend continues the way they have. The data is pretty clear that the overwhelming majority of the case/hospitalization spikes are from those that are unvaccinated. Breakthrough cases are happening but are generally mild in nature and don't require hospitalization. I think this latest spike has been pushed up a few months with the shitty weather, so I'm thinking if we can have a nicer stretch of drier/warmer weather, we'll see things level off or drop some. The "news panic" is over-reaching and nauseating at this point but I get it, they need to find something to keep the watcher tuned in. There should be a continued push to get people vaccinated and I'm 100% positive we'll be seeing a roll-out of booster shots this Fall. The sky isn't falling and people need to step away from the TV and Social Media and step outside. Life is back to a new normal for most.

The current thinking is this outbreak has been tied to the shitty July weather forcing more and more people indoors . I'd rather see mitigation done at the local level than at a State level.

could not have asked for a better day to give my FIL his final send off. Emotional day.

Yup. Gorgeous dry AM. 54F here.

Rafi!

My pool felt like a hot tub to the air temp a little while ago. 82F pool vs 68F air temp.

Thanks. Pretty sure I told the story over last year. Diagnosed with glioblastoma last March just as Covid took hold. Was on chemo/radiation for sometime to extend his life some. Made it through the holidays but after the new year it was apparent those were no longer working and he passed on February 24th with my wife her sister and their mother by his side. I’m not really aware of the whole arrangement but I’m sure it’ll be nice. Weather looks to cooperate. it’s morbid to think/accept our own mortality and to take ownership of it. It’s nice that you’ve set up how you want to be memorialized. While I’ve had a decade to settle into my mortality, I haven’t set up the details of how/where I want my ashes laid.

Yeah. Pretty sure it’s out of Mystic. It’s in early afternoon.

Lucky they made up for it. Cole gassed and they made him pay for it.

Devers! we watch in HD on Comcast

Nice sacrifice

Damn. More runs cost by Fenway layout. Ball bounces into stands in deep center.

Kike misses HR by inches to tie it. HR in most ballparks but Fenway wall nope.

.08”.

Water table and groundwater is fine but the surface can dry out pretty quickly.

Emotional day upcoming tomorrow as I head to Mystic with my wife and her family to spread her dads ashes out in Block Island Sound. It’s been a few months since he passed and we’ve been waiting till the summer to do this, it’s going to a small ceremony but family is coming from all over the northeast.

I could see Steve watering gardens. It’s been dry for a week here.

Sorry to hear Jay. Was there a reason for him to not be vaccinated or was it his choice?

Fall River? Borden Flats LH?

Surgical precision in missing me

That's misleading. We're in a Casedemic.

How have I never heard of this site? It's a gem for products. https://www.domyown.com/

I yearn for those days again

But that lard is "all natural", so it's a healthy choice.
