Excellent work, joeactor!

well, i have a dilemma, one that lots of people have, unfortunately.

the number two son is 17 years old, last night he had a fever of 100.5 F and joint pains. today the fever is gone, but he has a headache. no sore throat, no difficulty breathing.

i took today off, with no symptoms. i have two more days off before i am scheduled to back to work. my job requires me to be within a meter of someone else's perhaps four or five times in a workday. a total of five people i hand a piece of paper to, or take one from.

i'm trying to decide whether to stay in the house and self-quarantine for the next two weeks or go to work.

no way to get the boy tested in the united states. i am leaning towards staying home.

Well the UK is now in lockdown with all non-essential shops to close, all people are to stay at home except for work, food shopping and medical works, no meetings of more that 2 people (excepting from the same household), and one exercise excursion per day.

Can you put the paper down and have the other pick it up and visa versa?

its the paper itself that is transferred. some of the places i go right now won't sign my bills anymore, which is fine. i just mark them "customer did not sign," and we're good.

if i do go back to work, i'm not going to any frac sites or drilling rigs, they're full of people who can't wash, and the environment is loud, so everybody leans in close and says, "whhat?"

i'll be doing nothing but loading water at the well, which is 100 percent solitary, and delivering to an injection well, which requires me to just hand the paper out the window of the truck for a signature and take it back.

It sounds relatively safe to me.

I loveit!

My county is now under a shelter-in-place order.  Wanna hear something funny?  All gatherings of over 50 are prohibited, so churches can't meet,  but liquor stores are considered an "essential business"! Some fundamentalist somewhere is going crazy.

They all drink the cooking sherry when no one is looking, anyway.

It's just different spirits.
In the name of the brandy
the whiskey
and the gin or rum.
~Amen.

Do liquor stores just sell booze or are they general stores that are licenced to sell booze as well?

Only liquor stores sell liquor, but you can buy beer and wine in other stores.

Actually, the order prohibits gatherings of 10 or more.  Austin is issuing one today, so basically our society is shut down from Dallas to Austin, a 200 mile swath down the center of Texas.  All larger cities are moving in this direction.

Walmart is opening at 6 this morning for seniors, so we can get toilet paper, etc., before others get it.  So I'm here at 4:50, and there are 2 people in line.  I figure I can out run them or run over them to get to the paper goods.🤣

Wisdom for the day: the reason we have a toilet paper shortage is because of assholes.

when i lived in midland county, andrews to the north was completely dry. if you wanted beer there you had to drive to where i lived.

really you just had to get to the county line, because there was always a liquor store just over.
