Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

    Didn’t realize that was here when I saw it yesterday.

    So with the Dow down nearly 3K today, we can expect it up about 1.4K tomorrow?  Has the market moved in units less than thousands in the past 5 days?  Am I the only one that finds that simply mindblowing?

    Is respite thread a good place for dark humor? My GF got this off some social media: Wash your hands like you’re cooking for Ruth Bader Ginsburg

    Maybe it’s already old, but I did laugh a bit.

    I almost never go into a bar and get a drink. It just isn’t my thing. So it surprises me how much I want to do exactly that that now that it’s forbidden here in Chicago.

    @WaterGirl: Seems like payback. The humans are stuck in cages, the zoo animals roaming free.

    Our little city is getting fiber optic installed. As much as I want stupid-fast internet, the drilling and grinding in front of my house today is driving me crazy. They won’t be finished (although I think they’re about to pack up and leave our cul-de-sac) and turn it on until the fall. I’m not a gamer, so I’ll get no utility from the extra speed, but I want it anyway.

    I need advice please. I’m scheduled to fly to Tampa this Friday and return Monday. It’s my grandson’s 24th birthday and he wants me down there so much  he paid for my ticket. I’m very torn about going. Over and above the concern about exposure I’m afraid I could get stranded down there if someone decides to ground flights. Thank in advance.

    @Kathleen

    Entirely one person’s opinion. The extreme case of all domestic flights being grounded is quite low on the probability scale. I would not dismiss it entirely but neither would consider it such an immediate concern to fret over.

    If it helps, explore what the alternatives (bus, train, car rental, transport to alternative airports should one be temporarily put out of service) are in advance.

    @planetjanet: I’ll just chat someone up at the bar, gym, gardening club, French class, library, doctor’s waiting room. Hmmm, maybe I’ll stick with the dating apps.
