Sorry... my internet just burped. I really expected (as of March/April last year) that schools would more or less be open as usual in the fall of 2020... I'm glad we got some of our students back in late fall, and then again later this winter. My wife's school has kids back in erson for the most part since early October. The has a couple of weeks of full remote during the January peak, but mostly all of her kids are there.

I never thought it would be a two week situation. Didn't think a year either, but here we are. Almost everyone wants to return to normal. Some are definately profiting off of this, but it sure as hell isn't me. We are almost there, despite many obstacles that have been placed in our way (both natural and man made). If people had ignored this whole thing the cost in lives would have been greater that the 570,000 Americans we have already lost. If you can argue against that I don't know what to say.

I really don't think it will happen other than for cruise lines...and then only for a little while. I could be wrong

Lol. I did personally thank many grocery and other retail workers, as well as delivery drivers (gave them gift cards) and tipped bigly at take out places. I gave extra to my barber and the lady that helps with our dog. I have not hired a plumber, electrician, or other tradesman since this began but I thank you for working during this. We are better together than arguing. Stay safe!

And for those refusing to get the vax (which is fine. I get it) I hope you realize that those of us who are getting vaccinated are helping to end this. You’re welcome.

It’s a wonder how some even get out of bed each day. So many out to get them.

Everyone has a vaccination record going into kindergarten. It keeps going for years. And I would not be shocked if your phone knew

Was 2012 this dry?

There was a mandate to be masked in the stadium unless eating or drinking. But Texas...

I thought MLB was being cancelled. Lol

Winds gusting to near 40 here. Pretty consistent

The wind here is kinda wrecking it

Definitely a weird winter. Skunked in Jan and March. Good Feb and Dec (and Oct)

Shocking...another windy day

Yeah... looks like they have grown a bit since we bought ours 23 years ago... I think back then many were 8 x 8 so 2 sheets of 4 x 8 plywood could act as the floor...

That 64 sf would apply to a lot of Hone Depot type shed kits. 8’ x 8’

Good night to view the ISS from a lot of SNE around 8:10PM tonight

I figured 72-75 but you may be right

I think in my town we have that limit. You still need to keep it within the setbacks though.

This team is historically bad

We get groups of 2-3 cargo planes over here pretty routinely from Westover. They just rumble. This was a boom/thud that was very quick and isolated. I seriously thought one of my kids tipped over some furniture upstairs Not a sonic boom like I’ve heard before (not here). Weird.

If they are over this town they are lost

Nope. This seemed much more local. We all felt it here and our dog went bonkers. People in town on FB were posting about it but no one seems to know what it was. The other stuff was over a much wider area.

On another topic, there was a big boom felt and heard across our town about a half an hour ago. Shook the house.

If it saves some lives why not?
