Starting smoking was one of the stupidest things I ever did! Quitting, was one of the best and hardest! I quit cold turkey 30+ years ago. Mrs. Pirkaus,at the time, said "If you ever start smoking again, I will buy you cigarettes until you die. I'm not going through that again!" I never took her up on the offer.

Non-essential businesses in Delaware are closed until *May* 15th. Unclear what "non-essential" means - I am guessing that restaurants won't even have take-out. Probably mainly just grocery stores, pharmacies, health related things and I suppose gas stations.
I see that in New Jersey that liquor stores are considered essential.
He said he was taking these steps pro-actively as they don't want to attract tourists from NY/NJ where the restrictions are more severe.

You know, we're lucky that if this was going to happen, it happened now. Twenty years ago we had no rapid delivery, no streaming, no video chat, most people couldn't SMS, and even fewer could telecommute. For us here on BF we have an embarrassment of riches in smart trainers and apps. Even five or ten years ago the prospect of a few weeks or more of voluntary house arrest would have been far bleaker.

That image of three beautiful loaves makes my mouth water. Long ago I was baking my own whole wheat bread. The flour came from a nearby farm that grew the wheat and stone ground it in an old formerly water powered mill. I baked two loaves at a time and they smelled so good by the time they were done I would eat one right away. The local supermarket bakes an artisanal bread that, while quite good, is still not the same.

It's been harder on my wife, who's also been at home with child. You run out of things to do. You read too much internets and watch the news and soon the zombies are coming.
Principal of my kid's school sent out a cool graphic about focusing on what you can control. My wife is doing a high intensity workout on the Peloton.

Not a loaf to be had at Meijers today or thursday. No tp, no chicken again, nor pig. Plenty of beef though no hamburger though.

My lazy mechanic is making some progress. New brake and shifter cables/housing installed. Brakes and shifters adjusted perfectly.
All that’s left is bar tape and a new old hood cover for the rear shifter. Getting the hood cover on is always a struggle, any tips??

I found the actual list. A *lot* of things remain open, but retail sporting goods are not included. There is always Amazon for anything you need not on the list.

There was a truck driver on Bookface today explaining that a lot of the problem with our food/supply shortage has a lot to do with the distribution centers only working 8 hours. Truck drivers can only drive for, I believe its 12 hours a day. He showed many, many trucks parked waiting to be loaded that likely weren't going to get loaded untill the next day. So everything was bottlenecked at the distribution hubs and it just compounds. It was face palm worthy

A neighbor down the street has chickens , and if we walk down the alley, we can see them. It's a perplexing thing to Indy and Georgia-Mae, because they don't act like normal things. It makes for a good walk.

Governor Polis just asked us to only jog twice a week, and not four times a week.

The thing I cant understand is people are still picking up this habit. Even stupider are the vape idiots.
. We put a chemical in this so you wont be able to stop giving us your money. OMG where do I sign up?! Shut up and take my money. It tastes like bubble gum? Why not just buy bubble gum ? Friken idiots...
