That's pretty shitty about Ruth's Chris jumping on this program, I for one think it's an extremely overrated place. I think this is to be expected though, leave an opportunity and a business is going to go after it. I'm sure when it was written the idea was to keep the staff at TGI Friday's or whatever paid. I'm sure there are plenty of chain restaurant employees who are out of work now.

I"m letting my hair grow. It's going to be very interesting what it looks like by the end of this.

I'm guessing most will wind up paying bills and getting ahead on savings

Most large ships use a heavier fuel than diesel. This stuff is incredibly dirty burning but also much cheaper. It's shocking that there isn't more protest about the pollution from the cruise industry considering the literal million of gallons of dirty fuel they burn
-
Airlines maybe just a tad. Hotels, no.

A cruise company getting a single penny would really annoy me.

The only chance you might have would be the state ranges, but I doubt they are open either.

The top of that storm drain is complete gloom and doom scenario. If water goes in there then there won't be any lines left in the yard and the toast will be either extremely soggy or evacuated. The important thing with an inlet like that is actually below grade. It likely has holes drilled into it on the sides of the structure and a nice layer of porous and loosely packed clean stone around it to let water in from the surrounding ground which will then hit the storm sewer system and wind up in the detention (possibly retention) pond somewhere in the development. And that's your Stormwater Management 101 lesson for today. Tune in next week when we discuss safe flow rates and 1000 year storm calculations.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Giant makes a pretty good bagel, especially their asiago one

Not sure how much additional content there will be for a while. Just saw last night that the project is paused

I would have been flying out. This is not helping. Also why is it cold again?
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it this way. Give me some of my own money back and then whack me for taxes again next Friday.

How is it that the world keeps it pretty consistent with Santa Claus, but can't get their shit together on an Easter Bunny?

That bunny suit is probably crawling with all sorts of pathogens, Coronavirus is just one of many in that matted carpet of a costume.
-
So I think the thing that is getting completely glossed over and I would love to see more research and thought on it is the fact that population density is a tremendous factor in this and will obviously continue to be an issue with future pathogens. I don't think there is any question that NYC is the hardest hit because it is the most dense part of the country. There isn't any animal on earth, people included, that have any business living literally stacked on top of each other like we do in our biggest cities. At least in my opinion through totally anecdotal reasoning, there must be a critical mass tipping point on a city where we just say "enough is enough" and find a way to curb the growth. Pandemic or not it is a logistical nightmare to keep that many people healthy and fed in such a small area.

Can Mont Bleu survive an entire season being closed? I'm going to imagine that by next Thanksgiving we will be once again sliding down the laziest of miles.
-
I have serious concerns for my hair by the end of this. But it will definitely be interesting. I'm kind of at the tipping point now where it either gets crazy or I cut it. I can't remember the last time my hair was as rowdy as this. I'll have long flowing locks and need a bigger helmet by next ski season if this keeps up
-
Rain and wind here. Pretty nasty but still somewhat warm out. Good to fill up the fishing ponds I guess
-
I for one am going to be extremely curious to see the data when it's all said and done, both for the US and globally.
-
At least not above ground......

If any of them exist they would be in my parents' attic in a box or something but I don't really recall any photo taking when we went up there. It was one of those things that I think you take for granted. Nice day, summertime, let's go ride the alpine slide. At least as a kid I never thought of it as a photo worthy opportunity and I'm not sure my parents did either.

Montage used to have an Alpine Slide too. I used to go there as a kid. That thing was taken out many years before Camelback pulled the plug on theirs.
