    I’ve been very surprised how much I miss being able to just go into town (only a couple of miles) to buy a widgit for my next project. The other day, the toilet seat hinge failed. I’m not going to go buy a replacement until it doesn’t feel like taking my life in my hands… so we’re using it very carefully!

    To be wielded effectively, I estimate the pole would need to be between 14 to 15 feet long, assuming uniform weight throughout its length.

    [ ps — My comment should make it obvious that I don’t need to socially distance myself; others do it for me. ]

    It won’t be long until " they " introduce a colour coded star to wear. GREEN means you’ve had and are immune and can socialize and go to work. YELLOW means you haven’t had it and haven’t been tested. RED means you’re infected now

    Well, with the blistering incompetence coming from our “leadership” (HA!) in Washington, we have to take matters into our own hands, and yes, this also includes having the ability to laugh, however ironically at the mess we are in. BUT, yes, we will get through it in time, not because of “The Administration”, but rather IN SPITE of it!

    I went out once, after 8 days. I was going to shower 1st but then thought it would make more sense to shower AFTER.and besidesit contributes to social distancing. Even the blithe won’t get too close if I smell, um, natural. Think of all the mouthwash I can save, too!

    Social stinkage!

    I have an industrial N95 mask that I bought 5 or 6 years ago because I was sanding joint compound. It’s been very effective at making people social distance me at the supermarket.

    Living in the country on the Kentucky/ Tennessee State line, over 20 miles from a town of less then 6000 makes it really easy for me to practice social distancing. I’ve been doing it for years!

    As I mentioned elsewhere, yesterday…

    I swear to God, if I see one more notice or hear one more talking head tell me to “Wash Your Hands”, I shall personally hunt that person down and throttle them with my over-sanitized, super scrubbed hands!

    I will, of course, after the satisfactory strangulation, make sure I properly wash my hands…
