b1-66er: "Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department dissolves mounted patrol unit"
Special K: That's a lot of acid. 🥁

You dirty bastinado
Special K: "Two groups of governors, one on the East Coast and one on the West
Coast, announced Monday that they were forming regional working groups to help plan when it would be safe to begin to ease coronavirus-related restrictions to reopen their economies."
b1-66er: Lord grant me the patience.
K: You are religious.

It's in the hole!
b1-66er: <April 10 21:15PT> How goes the battle?
D: So, one of the proudest moments of my life was when my daughter, E-1, joined the Notre Dame Ultimate team. 😁
DENT: <April 11 17:20 MT I am holed up pretty much like everyone else. Our elective surgery list has been cancelled/postponed. I am seeing 50% the number of patients in the clinic and half of those are telemedicine¹. Life is pretty slow right now. Easter without church. Very strange.
b1: That's actually the best news I could get from you.
Thanks for responding.
D: We just got off the golf course, actually. It is free. First come first served. We have golfed 4 times in the past 5 days.
b1: Gotta keep in the swing.
D: Right. I am glad I don't have to make a living playing golf. I would starve.
b1: Let's hope you don't find out.
I assume the Mayo didn't have a golf minor. They just assume you'll "pursue" it in your glorious wealth.
D: Golf is not my thing. Too time consuming and not much to show for it afterward.
b1: Except that burnished inner glow of not having to throw a frisbee in front of Baker Hall instead.
D: So, one of the proudest moments of my life was when my daughter, E-1, joined the Notre Dame Ultimate team. 😁
¹ Ooooh, I guess the fricken Mayo Clinic specialist has a slightly different opinion on telemedicine when it's done by someone lesser degreed and HE'S NOT DEPENDENT ON IT.
Better get the Tavor
Special K: Grocery pickup is done.
b1-66er: How crowded?
How many mask wearers.
K: I did curbside, didn't go in. I saw 3 or 4 people, mostly masked. Seemed uncrowded inside from what I could tell.
b1: Good.
K: Yes.
Similar percentage of masked on most of my recent curbside pickup visits.
b1: Good.
How much of your grocery order were you able to get filled?
K: 5/5 items (one was a brand substitution).
b1: Back line winner.
What was the sub?
K: We only had 5 items because a slot came open unexpectedly between our usual orders, so it was a supplemental order. We have another one coming up on Tue.
Spread (aka fake butter). We eat a lot during Passover.
b1: What was subbed for what?
Do you only eat pareve at passover?
K: We ordered our usual brand (Smart Balance spread with canola oil),
and we got a brand whose name I don't recall (One World or something?), I don't think it's the canola variant…
b1: Ah.
K: No, our Passover is essentially no bread, no risen grains, everything else is OK.
b1: I see.
K: "any food product made from wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt that has come into contact with water and been allowed to ferment and rise is not allowed to be consumed."
b1: It's not so much "passover" as it is "driveby."
K: HAHAHAHAHAHA. It is. Growing up, we did more.
Used different dishes and cupboards, put boards in the sinks to make them "different". Didn't use regular foods, bought special kosher for Passover versions of everyday stuff.

... and if you'd like something to drink, the bathroom's just down the aisle...
b1-66er: I think this is more right than it is wrong.
Special K: I can't believe our election comes down to those two guys.
b1: You and me, both pal.
Biden is not the guy I want to turn to in a crisis...
It was his personal crisis that kept him from running 4 years ago...
AND he implied Obama was going to be assassinated when he was VP.
He's only 2 things: unimaginable and crusty.
K: "I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. 'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks. 'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?'
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."
