Anyone know if we do have a 2 week National shut down. I assume we could still do habitat work, drive to the farms and set up stands, make trails etc...Be great way to catch up on work.
Fresh air, isolation.
Any thoughts on this?

I would think as long as they don't restrict vehicle traffic.

Just closed our school until 4/13. I have big habitat plans the next two weekends. They better not restrict travel, that would fix nothing so they probably will.

If they stop commerce it would cause problems. Seems like drastic steps, companies ship thousands if not millions of dollars of goods and services a day.

There will be a time when retirement homes will be affordable again but not likely with interest rates this low.

I don't have have enough beer to make it through an extended shutdown. I may finally win the buckthorn battle though if I'm forced to stay home for weeks.
I probably should buy some seed now so I don't end up with acres of thistles.

Talk about bad timing. Had I held out a week, I could have doubled or tripled my money.

The internet wieners over on Wrestletalk are whining that Vince McMahon should cancel Wrestlemania. They have no understanding of the importance of pro wrestling in America. Vince was the one that had the balls to hold Smackdown Live 60 hours after the first plane hit the building. The country was hunkered down worried about sleeper cells and follow up attacks. He himself stood in the center of the ring to kick off the show as a giant fuck-you to terrorists around the world. The first event held since the attacks, a pioneeer in returning the country to something normal.

This is a media issue more than an actual crisis

There will be a time when retirement homes will be affordable again but not likely with interest rates this low. Interest rates will not go up much compared to historical rates in our lifetime. one of the big issues with low rates is that it makes it risky for seniors (everyone) to obtain a decent rate of return (yield) without going out on the risk curve. Historically seniors had money in CDs, utilities and bonds and was able to comfortably live off the interest. If you think we have it bad think about those people who are 75+ who have to be in stocks to make money and are now seeing their nest egg disappear. Scary stuff. its a good lesson to make certain your debt and living costs are in line when you retire.
