“ Yep, the guns are in our hands. And we know how to use them. Whitmer might want to consider that when she decides to send in the National Guard. Unlike Kent State, we'll probably be shooting back.”
Armed insurrection eh? Cool.
Pete, after that doesn’t turn out so well for you, can I have your ES 335?

WASHINGTON—In a very serious and damning new report published Wednesday, a government watchdog group has found that, as early as January, White House officials failed to heed repeated warnings of impending doom that arrived via four skeletal horsemen galloping through the sky. “On Jan. 3, the Trump administration received its first notification that a quartet of ghostly riders had barreled out of the endless night—auguring death, despair, and a great cataclysm upon the earth—but the president did not begin to take the threat seriously until mid-March,”

People, let’s try to be nice—at least to each other.
Also, while I’ve got everyone on the line, check out the new presser; we are evidently starting to open back up; some states meet the criteria and are ready to get back to business.
Birx is discussing millions of tests a week coming online, as well.

And wait for the new round of Trump trashing to fire up.

I've noticed something interesting about myself and several people close to me. We're stressed and stuffing a lot of that right now and even though things look OK on the surface it comes out unexpectedly and out of proportion over stupid stuff. This has been a brutal few months ya'all.

Everybody's feeling stress and fear. It's inevitable. We need to try not to take it out on each other.

The local drive-in theater announced it's opening May 1st as usual, with some rules about how many folks can go to the bathroom at one time, etc. The FB post was met with the small town equivalent of thunderous applause.
A really good sign.

Our next-door neighbors took their kids to a drive-in move last weekend. I hadn't even realized there were still any open. Seems like a great place to go right now.

And, all the charging stations would be in the best spots up front, to socially engineer engineer Peter when he goes to see "iron man6: the green suit" in his bigass truck.

I'm all for tricking out drive-ins to make them 21st-century, ovid 19-ready. It was at a drive-in in Mannassas, Va., that I first saw the Foggy Mountain Boys. They were performing live on the roof of the concession stand during intermission. At least I think it was them.

I don't remember ever really watching a movie at a drive-in. Might be a novel experience.

It's gratifying to see governors discussing how to start reopening the economy. Those decisions will probably prompt more acrimony than anything has to date. The governors I've read about all seem to be saying that there are a number of factors that will have to be taken into account. Weighing those factors and making decisions will involve judgment calls. Whatever the governors decide, a bunch of people will probably think that they're being too cautious. Others will think they're being too rash. I don't see any way to avoid that.

There has been a team from the CDC poking around North Dakota the last couple days. Apparently we are the Covid-19 abatement Super Star. 9 deaths to date opposed to the projection as recently as ten days ago of well over 70. In the statistical universe, it is true that the smaller the surveyed population, the greater the opportunity for anomalies to occur, but regardless, a CDC team was here and they are interested in what is going on in ND (and no, we aren't hiding bodies in grain bins, the state is smack in the middle of average monthly death rates).
Yet, ND was scolded by the Star Tribune editorial board and Gov. Walz for being virus-careless and not up to their snuff. Hmmpf!

I saw that, Bill. I thought it was wise. I was glad to see that it's bipartisan.
