No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

I formerly spent a couple of hours a day on cell phones out on wellsite, holding it next to the left side of my head. After the nickel-sized basal cell carcinoma was removed from the left side of my face, I have been using the speakerphone and sitting back...

weird

I have a landline. With an answering feature. And caller ID. The only reason I have it is that my wife says our kids need to be able to call 911. Facebook is faster than 911. It is a new phone. The last one we had got thrown out the backdoor and was killed by fire.

We had landlines on the rigs for a while.. Two miles, sometimes more, sometimes less, of cable laid out to the nearest phone  pedestal, on the ground, cross country. That was okay until the cows got in the pasture and chewed the phone line up. Something about the insulation they could not resist...  I spent many hours out with a company hand walking the line looking for breaks.

Cell phones were mo better, and with a Yagi, you could hit towers 20+miles away with an old bag phone. When everything went digital, you had to get a booster/repeater and set that up. Last setup I had cost me about a grand...plus the phone. Now, the towers are everywhere.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

uh huh

The digital age changed me. 

NOT one effing byte.

Yeah, I get to tell you this, straight to your face, digitdigit.

But I never have had the need to say anything to you that meant anything because you already knew.

I will give the tech this. I live in North Dakota. And you live in Idaho.

Great message from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.

This is NOT like anything else our medical community has faced.

THESE are the people we need to listen to.  THESE are the people who actually know what they're talking about and what is going on.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Nothing so drastic. The police even let them keep them on their vehicles, so long as they put them on upside down (So the cops wouldn't get a crick in their neck trying to read them when they found the pickup in the ditch).

Personally, the only people I listen to is one of me. I mean one of you.

Yes. It did.  And I thought how cool is that? North Dakota adopted race/gender/income inequality in one word.

SAME PEOPLE. SAMPLE

And proudly displays it in every bulk junk mailing they can.

Thanx @DB  for letting us know, and letting us help.  Honestly, it was one of the few things I did last week that I thought was worth doing, in and of itself.  Without getting in trouble for expounding the generally accepted restorative powers of prayer, as I'm sure you know, it restores me too.  I'm very happy your niece is well.

REGIONRecov:Death     Cases:Recov
Global (excluding China & US)  3.856 ↓  3.344 ↓
United States  1.750 ↑ 10.822 ↓
China 16.630 ↓  1.074 ↑

US 14-day Recovery Deficit - 179,009
Recovery Rate after 14 days - 22.3 %  ↑
Recovery Rate after 21 days - 67.4 %  ↑

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/


Zero new deaths reported in China.  However, reported recoveries in China fell by over 900.  Their propaganda statisticians are doing a poor job.

Situation looking better in the US today.  New cases down.  Deaths down.  Recoveries up.

Oddly enough.


What did it take for us to become  "energy" efficient? @Smokin Joe  @thackney  @IsailedawayfromFR  @catfish1957  @Hoodat

High energy prices.

Fracking technology, and seed money to develop electric cars.  Plus loosened restrictions on clean coal.  A plausible argument could be made on threats of oil tariffs but I'm not factually equipped to make that argument.

It's easier to be "energy independent when nobody can drive anywhere.  So, it's an ill wind that blows no good.

Oddly vague for you my friend.  Are you disagreeing with my comment @Cyber Liberty ?  Feel free, I'm no energy expert.
