We made it through fall sports. My boys CC team won League, the girls got 12th in the State. Basketball is still practicing but things are moving quickly. Our number of remote learners was 50 yesterday, I think it was 71 this morning. By the end of the day 13 more kids were sent home with another 23 considered at risk of close contact. We may be down to 20 kids in the building by Monday. KSHSAA is having a vote on Tuesday do decide the fate of winter sports. Lots of options being considered from reduced seasons, no spectators, to just postponing everything until January. I don't like government being this prevalent in my life.

$4 dollar pitchers last night, tonight, and tomorrow night until the kegs are gone at the Legion. Most places in the area have tap beers going for $1-$2 until the kegs are dry. Similar in big lake. What a scary situation

I wear my mask at Walmart because I'm not looking for conflict. Other than there, I don't wear a mask. Since mask wearing was mandated, Covid cases have skyrocketed. Non N95 masks do what many of us have said all along...nothing edited to add...even the CDC and most medical "experts" told us that non N95 masks did nothing against viruses before they were politically forced to change their opinions.

Non N95 masks do what many of us have said all along...nothing I do the same, except when I visit with you at Walmart. I don’t want to make it difficult for Walmart employees who are just trying to make a living. I see no need for a mask with 99 per cent of the things I do. Ice fish, deer hunting, walk down a country road, ride alone or with my wife in the pickup. I somewhat have the feeling, that if you feel the risk is high enough that an individual needs to wear a mask, maybe that individual should look closely at if that exposure is truly a necessary experience. In some cases, such as medical work, yes.

Our high school has gone remote learning for the last two weeks. They had masks and barriers between the kids. Lots of students are positive and so many teachers are they can’t get enough subs.
The JR high is still open. All of the elementary schools are open with the exception of 3&4 grade in 1 of the 5 schools.
So the school that has mandated masks is the one with the most cases. Is that a sign that masks spread COVID? Or are little kids who don’t wear masks mostly immune?
Our governor is cracking down again. No restaurant or bar can be open after 10:00. They basically announced a curfew. Family gatherings are limited.
My mom is having thanksgiving dinner just like she has for decades. Our governor can suck it.

This is a fascinating economic time. Lots of moving parts, much like 9/11, the housing bust, etc. Here we're at the crossroads of the blue states committing economic suicide to get back at OMB. The problem is, if their gamble fails, and they don't take the senate and the white house, their hopes of uploading all their debts and deficits to the federal government are shot to shit. There are signs of panic showing up in real numbers now. NY state is looking at a 10% deficit going into next year, but they've also got Enyce needing an enormous bailout that ain't part of that number. Check out these numbers on college enrollment for the fall. campusreform.org/?id=16149

^^^I am thankful both step kids are done with college. I could not (would not) pay for the type of college experience these young people got last spring or so far this year. I would have told the kids to go work until things return to normal.

I am in that now Stu. Paying full price My wife's niece got a full academic scholarship to Carleton in Northfield. I believe tuition runs about $70K a year there. She is sitting in her dorm room doing "distance learning". While she is at least getting her "education" for free, it's crazy what she is being robbed of. She busted her ass all through high school for this opportunity. Now, she's being told to not go home for Thanksgiving. Sure, just sit in your dorm room and eat Ramen instead

Killing these small bars. The supposed Biden win, makes the dumb liberals think everyone is on board with shutdowns. Terrible times for these people. A good friend owns a fitness center, they are just livid.

Yes she will. That's not the point. The point is that college kids generally do just fine with the virus. Let them get the education they have worked hard to earn.
