Hmm, somebody in Germany is viewing every single page of my blog. 300+ pg. views so far. Either they’re really bored or they are scraping it to steal the content. I’m pretty sure it’s the later. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Walmart online has canned rattlesnake meat. Please form an orderly line, limit one per customer. :-)

I should start a daily journal/blog during this coronavirus thing. The problem is I know it will devolve down to “Ate burrittos for supper,” and “Eggs for breakfast”. Now in 90 days, when we are all starving and hunting rats with dandelion stickers, THAT will be interesting.

Food for thought here on how Big Tech platforms can help out in this time of crisis. Extraordinary Times Call For Extraordinary Measures by Rand Fishkin. It’s part of doing the right thing.

Apparently, Roller Derby is still a Thing. Videos on Youtube I thought it died in the 1970’s. Who knew?

So if you get bored watching your cat sleep while on lockdown you can watch this highpoint of Western culture.

I was rather proud of my neighborhood POA (HOA) at the meeting tonight. Unprompted the board announced they were organizing volunteers to grocery shop for neighbors who have to self-isolate due to the coronavirus. They are planning ahead. POA’s get a lot of guff on social networks, but mine has always come through for neighbors in a time of crisis.

Indiana Gov. announces steps to protect public from Covid-19. It looks like the States are not waiting around for the Federal Gov’t.

I take it that besides the travel ban from Europe and talk about aid to Wall Street types, Trump didn’t say much about concrete health and medical measures for the people of the US? Am I right?

These were the people with years of experience planning for a pandemic. No wonder the Federal response is so pathetic.

This is weird from just reading the news: in the US the private sector seems to be doing more to try to contain the spread of coronavirus by cancelling events, flights, travel, warnings and work from home restrictions, than the government. It’s very fragmented but it’s there.

Pantry full. Freezer full. I just got done sorting excess canned goods into boxes and I’m having trouble finding room for the boxes. I think I’ll stop buying food for awhile. Especially canned goods.
