My neighbor, who is a scientist at the university, is standing in the street at the back of his SUV disinfecting 5 bags of groceries. He's been out there for a half hour.

He’s got the right idea...leave in the garage for 3 days if you can.

I just encountered this gentleman, down in the town square, sitting on a bench.  Someone was looking out for him.  (I practiced social distance when I took his photo)

The local news is reporting that our governor is going to close the schools for the rest of the year.

The rest of 2020?  Or the rest of the school year?

The school year.

Nobody's deciding things about August except for stuff like the Olympics.

Our governor said the earliest they're going to revisit the issue of schools reopening is April 17th, but I feel that schools will remain closed for the rest of the school year. They're talking about mid-May for the peak of the virus around here, so we'll still be seeing cases into July.

This is the beginning of this. Right now people are handling this lockdown stuff pretty well, but it's only been a couple of weeks. I'm worried about when people are going to start acting squirrelly. Domestic abuse cases are already on the rise.

Seems like you gotta be half-dead before they'll test you...

Or rich. James Dolan, owner of the Knicks tested positive. This snip from the story concerned me...

The latest big name to register a positive test was New York Knicks owner James Dolan, who is currently not experiencing symptoms according to an announcement from the team

So if he has no symptoms, how/why did he get a test?

Really? I haven't heard that on the news but it makes sense, pinned up all day with someone I'm sure it's bound to happen.

This is why I’m still going to work even though the boss offered to let me work from home. My wife says that she is working in the flower garden, but it looks like she is digging a shallow grave. 😳

This appears to be an interesting site. It shows some fairly optimistic things, it looks like. I'd be surprised if they were true, but… fingers crossed.

Umm, he’s rich? Or maybe NYC wanted to make sure he wasn’t Typhoid Mary after being exposed to others.

Thanks for the share.   This is very informative.    It makes us realize we aren't out of the woods yet.

After the daily White House press briefing, it seems like the experts are predicting at least 100K will die from this even with the protective measures in place. I hope not, that is a grim outlook for sure.

    • Day 15 - 2024-10-15 Mirror work. Watched one of my D1 players play today (67, plus -1 on the two holes he played to finish up a second-round 72). Well, you know what to work on… 😄 
    • Day 166 (15 Oct 24) - Worked with the 6i into the net today.  Focused on the legs - slight knee bend, keeping pressure on lead foot, getting rotation thru contact.  
    • No. The Steelers aren't paying either of them very much. They're not gonna get rid of a SB winning QB in case Justin is injured or something.
    • It could be to exhibit for trade bait.   Some teams may be looking for another QB (Miami) and if Wilson plays well, the compensation could be large.
    • Ball strike is king. You hit with a glancing blow (hook or slice), your smash factor just decreases a ton. Having a face to path angle of like 20 degrees versus something like 3 degrees is huge.  Yea, getting in shape is a good idea all around. Power is moving something heavy really fast. So, increasing how much you can lift, then improving on how fast you can move it will improve your power. In general, I think the two biggest tests for distance is like a chest press and standing vertical high jump. Some people are gifted with fast hands, but having good lower body can amplify what you have. Using the ground the correct way really ramps up the rotation speed, and then that can get the clubhead moving faster. Still, the hands do get down from the top of the backswing really fast.  If you start gaining strength and power gains. Knowing how to use the ground properly is important. You can have all the leg strength, but if you are not activating it correctly it is a waste. That is where good mechanics come into play.
