A while back, @Lowes stopped giving military discounts on major appliances. Now they have stopped giving military discounts on lumber. Time to start shopping exclusively at @thehomedepot.

the potential survival rate. The sooner we accept that most of us are eventually going to catch this thing, the sooner we can move past THAT fear and start working toward helping the most at-risk of us survive by putting off catching it ourselves for as long as possible. (5/5)

the inevitable (our own illness), we greatly reduce the number of times doctors have to decide who gets a ventilator and who dies without one because there aren’t enough to go around. So flattening the curve doesn’t reduce the number of infections, but it DOES increase (4/5)

the most dedicated germaphobe hermits to think they aren’t going to catch it. The reason we are flattening the curve is to keep from overwhelming the world’s healthcare system. The flatter curve means that there will be lots fewer sick people AT ANY ONE TIME. If we delay (3/5)

I think there’s some misunderstanding out there about what’s going to happen in the long term with this virus. Flattening the curve does not mean lots fewer people will catch this thing. The curve still has the same number of cases under it. (1/5)

OMG! Almost 80,000 people worldwide have died of Coronavirus! Oh, wait. That was just the United States. And that was just the flu. And it was just the winter of 2017-18. Coronavirus just now reached 2000 worldwide. Feel free to go back to your panicked quarantines.

Instead of driving out in the country to look at the Fall colors, Suzanne and I prefer to do it the @carefreeboater way. Except for half a dozen fisherman and two sailboats, we had the entire lake to ourselves. #lakelife #ownthefun #autumnonwatauga

New Year’s resolutions are nothing compared to the “I’ll do better this year” promises made by small business owners to their CPA the week before taxes are due.

Hey, @McDonalds! When I ask for large fries, I don’t want a medium order of fries in a large box. Bit of a ripoff when you do this.

#LivePD let me down when they didn’t change the title of the incident in Pasco County from Domestic Assault to Battery with Burrito.

After more than five years of snow shoveling, crawlspace crawling, roof climbing, yardwork, home improvement work, and other torture, my @Timberland shoes have finally given up the ghost. I know people buy “Tims” as a fashion item, but these have been some GREAT work shoes.

Do NOT drive thru Greene Co, MO with an expired or missing license plate. CPL Craigmile will absolutely spot you and you WILL get a citation! Every damn time! #LivePDNation

Poor officer Zendejas. Looks Hispanic, has an Hispanic name, works on the Mexican border in El Paso. Everyone tries to speak Spanish to her. She only speaks English. You can tell it annoys the crap out of her. #LivePD
