Scenes Near Our Florida Cottage...

Vintage gas station and car.

As it should be...for now!

This was taken before the epidemic. Just not that many folks around here.

The snowbirds are itchin' to come back but with "Stay Home - Stay Safe" orders here
we are not supposed to work. That means the that we are not opening up their homes.
Even if they do come back, they're to stay in their homes and self quarantine for two
weeks. That means no shopping.....
I had one longtime customer try to convince me to open their house earlier. Normally
I don't open it until after BRPR in late May. I stood firm that I wasn't working until the
order was off and my doctor gave me the okay to work, which would be May 15th.

We have neighbors that are in Florida right now. I'd bet good money they aren't going to come back and stay in for two weeks. Wish they would, but I doubt it.

The rest of the story:
He texted that he was going to come up and open it himself.....
I replied, "Fine, better learn how to close it next fall too."
He just texted that they will wait for me to open it when it's safe.

Changing the subject a bit here Jean, OK changing it a lot; did you get a moose this year?

[wildbears]

Not really.

Can moose get Covid?

[wildbears]

With the reopening, it may be important to differentiate areas with little or no Wuhan (is that a question??? ) Covid from those with an epidemic.

Also, representative population sampling is sufficient to determine if an area is "hot".

We don't have to test every single person.

There is more knowledge now than earlier on.

[Oilhead]

Yip, I did. 4 moose in the last 4 seasons, and the most satisfying one as I walked to about 50 feet of the 2 beasts, then aimed and fired on the buck, who fell 20 meters further. My better half and I just finished the Osso Bucco I cooked yesterday. Hopefully, that covid shit will be over this fall. Cheers!

When I was in college we used to load my car with firewood, beer, and a radio [a '65 Opel Kadett purchased new for $1,430 new (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gFyhGzLni0) + (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFgPXPBKGWo), a striped down model] and partied all night in the dunes with this beach just beyond. The dunes are an easy walk from the cottage.

The Kadett was unstoppable in soft sand despite the rear wheel drive and 42 hp. Maybe because it was so light (one of my high school friends could pic up the back end by the bumper; cost was about $1 / pound).

We wouldn't see another soul the entire night.
