The WheelPro truing stand is finally complete. I hope to give it a whirl this afternoon. Also, please note, I am particularly proud of my backdrop.

My dad, DM, graduated from the 44th pilot class, in 1944. And he also went to war in 1944. DM 44 was his license plate for his entire driving career, once he returned to civilian life. The Chevrolet folk were distant relatives. Our car has one of their license plate frames still.

Two separate accidents a few minutes apart on my route this morning, I had to turn back because the police shut the road. Boy Racers driving too fast in a winding canyon. They’ve been zooming past me all week. Three total cars over the side.
The ambulance driving down the hill was not making haste.

The last website you posted had a peak around April 20. This one, with the least restrictive (limited action) scenario, says it won't peak until May 11. With (in TN) 72000 deaths. wut

I spent so much time planning my 45 mile ride that I didn't have time for it. Got out for a nice 32 miler instead.
And Velo Vol says that I don't look Asian enough. Sheesh.

I heard that a couple times this morning, too. Did you here the expert explaining why people hoard TP? He said people are trying to control at least one aspect of their worried lives.
Fact, the TP industry knows pretty well how much TP to make in a year and most of our paper is made here in the USA. It's a simple population and poop formula which doesn't change with the CV unless people start using it for things for which it's not intended which is fairly unlikely. As a result, the TP shortage is of our own making and not rational. The TP makers won't make more because there is no need. The current problem comes in delivery as hoarders have stripped the shelves.
Now, paper towels is a whole other problem because we've become cleaners like never before.
