I figure the jury is out for the next couple of weeks in determining which way we are heading. A good increased out break of more sickness will get more grounds for voting by mail, of which Illinois is already pushing for. I just hope maybe sunlight will somehow affect the spread in the parties outside but you know the old saying"if I wish in one hand and crap in the other which one will get full first". Hope we are not about to get new lesson in hydraulics or that our actions affect our destiny.

Seems Brazil is ratcheting up, wonder if that will affect coffee. Farming areas are least populated but may also be the unprepared. Might see some of those old recipes for chicory or postum coffee resurface. Was on the news this morning that Mexico is blaming their increase on the U.S. I didn't think we was still going in there? Maybe Mexico will want a wall, lol. I doubt it.

Just heard a new rule to me. In a pandemic there is 10-80-10. No its not fertilizer. When bad things happen 10% will act in a responsible way, 80% won't act until someone tells the what to do, and 10% will choose to do the wrong thing.

So seems to me we are in a waiting period and I know how people hate the word wait.

Well if we can get past a sharp uptick in the next 7-10 days then maybe it won't be enough for a full court press for the voting by mail. I don't know how long it takes a state to get that thru, and whether there would still be enough time for them to get it thru after the 4th of July crowds, should they have a significant spike. Any body can vote in Illinois by mail now but they want all them ballots mailed out. The libs will make an all out effort cause they not only hate Trumps guts but they can't afford to lose any more judge seats.

I just hope all those crowds in close quarters in those pool party's washed their hands when they got out, lol.

The plus that I am taking out of all of this is that I now know who the sheep are around me. I was surprised by some of them. I will say that some of them are starting to wake up.

We have to wear a mask at work. Not sure how that will last since we are getting into the summer heat.

Watch out for jury tampering.

I'm thinking masks may be deemed ineffective after all.

If the state of KS wants me to wear a mask the legislature will need to pass a law. I am not a subject or chattel belonging to the governor.

Numbers are up here in AR since reopening. The media loves it and plays it up. However, they don't seem to concerned in reporting that testing is up.
Foxpaw rest assured we'll have a spike in cases, that's for certain. It's set up that way.

Foxpaw you know in Illinois it won't make difference if they mail out ballots or not. Chicago will still out vote the rest of the state. They need a federal prosecutor to clean house and fill our prisons back up. And I could get behind that kind of tax increase to pay the bill.

You are exactly right there. It seems we are a trend setter for corruption, if they can't get their schemes to work in Illinois then its probably not doable. I have thought instead of putting all that money in prisons we should just export them, but then we exported Hilary and Obama and look what that did to the rest of the country. Maybe we could just fence in Chicago cheaper and take back Springfield, lol. Good fences make good neighbors!

I've thought a lot about the 6' thing. I think what direction the air is going can nullify that quickly. As far as distancing being conditioning, if it works I'm for it, It may be inconvenient for a time but it not as distancing as death and going across the great divide from which there is no return. Not that that will be a bad thing, if it is Gods' Will. But if I'm of sound mind and can avoid death and don't then to me that would that would be nearing suicide of which that trip across that divide would possibly be a bad one. So when I hear the beating of the wings of the Angle of Death I try to stay on the other side of the hedge. I have two eyes one of which to mind my business here and one to watch the heavens. Should God lift that hedge here then I'm headed across that Great River and will be met where there is no social distancing.

I've been paying attention to a nursing home I think in Ohio in which the providers moved in and kept isolated and sanitized everything brought in and have been able to avoid any cases so far. So I think we can distance ourselves from it. Of course some may say they are just old people and gonna die anyway and what's the use? That's a lengthy debate probably longer than the covid19 one and certainly alot older.
