To each their own, but . . .
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.

It’s more a concern if having someone to help if we do get sick.
Thanks, hope so.

A Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle lives in PHX apparently. And he just got a new bike!

Recently learned that a high school classmate of mine lost both his parents to the virus in a very short time.

To store your knives?
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

True, we aren’t exactly in the risk pool either (she’s 43), but we also spent a number of years as smokers when we were younger and I know of a couple people my age who have been put on ventilators that had no underlying conditions.
It’s more a concern if having someone to help if we do get sick.

I brought the bar upstairs (the epoxy is set, though not cured) and slapped some knives on it and a couple of knives are sliding - not down and off, but the handle weight is just swinging them away from vertical. It wasn't doing this before and I'm assuming that it's because it's a lot smoother now that it's been hand planed. Also, it's really only happening when a blade is straddling two magnets (I think that they're working against each other to a small extent). But yeah, I don't want that to happen so I don't want anything too slickery.

Yeah, I was thinking just Danish Oil, but I might need to adjust - I might need some more tack/friction.

This will work on the knife holder, and you can also use it to glue numbers on your jersey.

So my Dad had a bad bleed in his digestive tract yesterday. Admitted to the hospital. They did tests, checked his blood and enzymes. Gave him the old rotorooter camera today. Found nothing. Told him to start using a stool softener. And sent him home. He was home for an hour or two. Pain in both arms and shoulder radiating to his chest. Back to E.R. re admitted. High irregular heart rate. Testing for covid. & Blood enzymes again .
This sucks. Hard on my mom. They won't let her in because of covid. Her and my sister had to wait in the car for them to call and tell her they were going to admit him.
so now we wait...

That would be good for climbing the highest peak in Florida. Or Britton Hilling, as some call it.

Like I said, I will probably cancel the order when the time comes.
