    The death toll from an outbreak of coronavirus in Italy has surged in the last 24 hours by 475 to 2,978, an increase of 19%, the biggest jump in numerical terms since the contagion came to light last month. The total number of cases in Italy, the European country hardest hit by the virus, rose to 35,713 from a previous 31,506, up 13.35%, the Civil Protection Agency said.

    I have been social distancing since April 4, 2019. I had a bone marrow transplant that day. Thank you for everyone who is following the advice of those in charge of this. I am one of the highest risk groups. Be thankful this social distancing is short term. This has become my new normal, I accept it. I am finally strong enough to start egging again. Life is great, I am actually happier than I have ever been. Just wanted to say thanks.
    Things get better chappy, had mine in 2004 been a religious hand washer ever since.

    I have started counting my farts throughout the day. A long multi burst counts as one here. Its OK for me as i am consistent with this statistical summery.

    Here is hoping that your farts don't stink, your beer remains cold and everyone stays safe out thar.

    they are opening an outdoor farmers market spread out at one of the school grounds sunday, going to like that over the supermarket. they say they are going to enforce the 6 foot rule, not sure how but it just sounds better than what we have now. everything will be bagged ahead of time to reduce everyone from touching the goods. farmers markets dont usually open til june

    Funny you mention that.  I saw a friend (Oklahoma grad) leaving the Winn Dixie the other day carrying nothing but a bag of Tide Pods.  I asked her if her kids sent her out for snacks.  It took her a while to figure it out, and she wasn't amused.

    I’m not social distancing because for some d@mn reason my company is making us still come in every day. They did move us farther apart. So I guess that counts. That and the traffic is non existent.

    Must be nice to be able to take the kids outside during this.  It's been raining here all week.  Today is the first day we've had above 60 this year and it's raining cats and dogs.

    Social distancing means keeping a floor between my kids and myself right?

    It’s been raining a lot here too. I took the whole storage bin of remote controlled things out last weekend and was charging one while the next was getting used. It’s 80 and sunny right now though.

    I was getting a little stir crazy sitting inside. I had to move to the garage. High 30's outside. Not terrible.

    Blackstone said they're sending me a new base. I haven't fired up my 36" Blackstone since making my initial warranty claim around 8 months ago. I didn't want them to claim that it had been abused so I simply didn't use it until my warranty issue was resolved. It has been stored in the garage but the griddle top had developed some light rust. So I cleaned it up with the angle grinder and sanded it to 220 grit. I just finished up reseasoning it.

    At least I was only eating mushrooms and going to Allman Brothers concerts. 
    Yeah...I did a lot of one of those things and none of the other.

    Installed a gas fireplace.  Setting the mantel, ledge stone and TV this weekend.   Next up after that is a tile backsplash.   I’m doing my part to stimulate Home Depot....
