  1. It seems like people in Austin are sensing the end of the quarantine is near.  I ran the Town Lake trail yesterday morning and there were groups of runners gathered close together with no masks, in front of an APD car no less, and nobody was giving a fuck. On my neighborhood walks I’m seeing more people gathered for happy hour on front porches who clearly aren’t roommates quarantining together. And I’m noticing a general uptick in traffic on MoPac and across Austin I’m general.

  2. I've been getting a few things from Made In Cookware.  I have a medium sauce pan and a stock pot that are stainless all-clad, a large non-stick frying pan, and a carbon steel roasting pan.  The carbon steel shows discoloration with use, but there's a cleaning solution that gets it looking close to new.  They're pricier than some of the other brands recommended on this thread, but as someone else said, I don't like to go cheap on cookware as I use it all the time and want it to last.

    Jesus, South Austin brags about his fucking more than his mom. 

    She doesn't have to brag.  This message board does it for her.

    We have so much to learn from them. They really did a great job in managing this crisis. Fantastic leadership by them to flatten the curve and bring deaths/infections to zero so quickly.

    They are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. They forge their spirits in the tradition of their ancestors. They have our gratitude.

    Possibly my final update, things are looking bad here in the basement.

    The warmer weather has not been setting well with my strain of corona.  My beanbag has been sticking to my leg quite a bit due to the heat and poor ventilation.  So it sticks to my leg, usually the right, and then when I sit and prop my leg up, it will come crashing down and they clank together.  I assume this means my condition isn’t getting any better, I’ve read somewhere that it’s an early sign of pneumonia.  I’ve called the pedo a few times and recently the local law enforcement has shown up and asked me to leave him alone.  I guess he must be shutdown for being non-essential.  Any ways, I’m trying to get approved for the antibody testing, but I keep getting rejected for what they’ve only vaguely described as “gross and vulgar misconduct.”  I need to restock on some basic goods so I bought some PPE online, but apparently that has more than one meaning.  I will post pictures when I figure out how to put it on or in, however it works

    Quite honestly I think that praying for you will actually send me to hell, or at least warrant a couple decades in purgatory, so I'll just say good luck with that and all.

    To tie it back to travel it means Americans are rapidly becoming perceived globally as ground zero for pandemic death and futility. That's going to impact how soon countries worth traveling to are going to accept Americans on their shores again. The worse this is handled and the worse this gets perceived the longer we're looking at being mostly unable to travel outside the US. 

    We're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!  Gentlemen!

  7. I get it, Penelope.  And I'm always a fan of your travel pics.  I really hope you can go abroad later this year. 

    With kid considerations I need to take my vacation(s) this summer, and since I'm more risk-averse than most, I'm having to be a bit more conservative in my forecasts.  But I'm also giving it a few more weeks.  Fingers crossed.
