Mr. Albrethsen, how's it goin? Florida did seem a little relaxed, even Uber drivers were hit and miss about masks.
That misinformation thing, I know what you mean. It seems like anymore if there isn't two sides to the story, it doesn't exist.
We've been parked now going on five months and that's about 2 too many. I think there's enough flitting left in us to get back to doing what we were doing before we were doing this. Not sure how much longer they're gonna prevent that though Glen.
Does it sound like I'm jealous?
Maybe just a tiny bit. Can hardly tell
Our governor is inclined to prevent anything and everything, with the legislature and the state supreme court basically backing her up, so Oregon probably wouldn't be the best place to flit to for the time being. Are you in Tennessee? Seems like a read that a while back. But you say you've overstayed?
Yes'ir Tennessee. I've always loved this state. So when we were abruptly stopped in the middle of travel we said "Tennessee." But the thing is sir..
We saw a lot while we were out there. As Pura says "our minds have been unlocked." We've spent some time weighing out pros and cons and let's just say we're anxious for the gates to reopen.. the pro's one.
All I hear about Oregon is a mess, it's as bad as they say it is huh? How are you and yours? Only 'essential' stores open there like Best Buy and Target?
So, we're currently under a two week freeze that ends tomorrow. Then we'll go a low, medium, high and extreme risk assessment every two weeks to determine where each county is.
Here's what that looks like. Currently 21 counties are pre-assessed as extreme, including the county I live in, and every county I work in.
So, yeah. I don't think that the amount of COVID cases merit the response, but this at least gets away from a one size fits all punishment of businesses regardless of where they're located and what might be going on there.
My wife and I are doing good (though I think I finally got my yearly cold. :) My oldest son and his family, who still live in the area, are good, too, as well as the youngest son and his family, who moved to South Carolina. The approach there has been more measured, relatively speaking, and they seem to be getting through things okay.
re: minds unlocked
Now I'm curious. In what way? It seems to me that by being on the road so long and not staying in one place you already had some idea that hanging around one spot the rest of your life didn't seem to be for you, at least not at present.
And when you say weighing pros and cons, do you mind expanding on that?
Don't have to if you don't want to or have the time. I just find this kind of wandering fascinating. :)
