Definitely don't wanna bring that **** home!!!
I wonder if we're going to get a Open AZ spike in cases. Still way to early to tell, so I'd be tempted to put in for LOA regardless of mask policy.
It might not be bad, like if customers only slowly start to trickle back in. Or they might line up outside opening day.

My store has been selling online with curbside pickup since mid March, so you wouldn't expect a huge rush, but that wasn't what happened May 1st. 20-30 people lined up(without masks or social distancing) just because the original state shutdown had ended. Arizona is full of Covidiots.

It’s too soon everywhere IMO.
We had to make a tough tangentially Covid related decision recently. My wife has been in a couple of Chief Analytics Officer roles over the past 10ish years. Last year, the toll it took on her was just too much so she decided to leave her career and begin to study for law school with an eye toward specializing in elder law. She studied for, took her LSATs, did well and was looking at the prospect of getting significant scholarships from the schools she was applying to.
Because of the uncertainty in what is happening right now, we decided to put going to school off a year. She doesn’t want to do this type of education online and doesn’t want to face the prospect of getting sick while away with nobody nearby to take care of her. The inverse is also true.
She’s devastated, me too because it’s something she worked so hard for and took a huge risk to pursue.
Now she’s going to back to work for a year- probably doing some consulting with a friend of hours.
It’s a bummer.

In her situation I would probably start school online, and go to the campus classes when the return.
If I was fresh out of high school, there's no way I'd start with online classes. Living on campus is a life experience that shouldn't be missed..

while the uncertainty of what's happening at the law school strikes me as a legitimate concern for enrolling this fall, not doing so over worry you might get sick is much more shaky. We're seeing that many people with the virus never have symptoms.

Every once in a while, YouTube's algorithm spits out something cool for me. As a non-musician, I'm very impressed, but it makes me wonder if musicians would be even more impressed or if they'd be "yeah, whatever."

Nice finger in the photos huh? Both of those were accidental. I was trying to get video without being able to see the screen due to sunlight.

A friend of mine recently messaged me about some kind of Everesting challenge on Strava with the suggestion we train for it.
Hell no.
I think my response disappointed her.
I sometimes do hill repeats for practical reasons- the hill is perfect for some interval workout I want to do. Or I like the road and want to get a bunch of climbing in without being sure how much when I get started, or maybe I don't want to get too far from SAG support if I'm riding solo. I think seeing my Strava feed containing rides with hill repeats recently gave her the wrong impression that I'd be into an Everesting attempt.

Woo hoo - my walnut magnetic knife bar is getting close! I got the keyholes cut (for hanging without visible hardware), surfaces are planed and ready for finish and I got the epoxy poured over the magnets. When the epoxy is fully set tomorrow, I'll be able to get some layers of finish on it.
I recently got this magnetic knife "block" and we both really love it. It seemed overpriced, we weren't sure it made sense. But its one of those things that is worth the cost, all* the knives at hand all the time. Plus twirling.

*well, most of them
