I know nothing about Urbana University.  I have had dinner with a very well respected individual who makes his living consulting to colleges and universities.  He told me two years ago that there were a great many colleges that were on the edge of not making it and would shut down.  With an event like Covid-19, I expect that we will see many more of these.

Urbana University has announced it will close.

 

Sad, but I expect there will be quite a different look to every aspect of the country.   Neiman Marcus filed for bankruptcy.    The concept of ordering groceries online will continue to be "a thing".  I guess it has for a while but .... I'm old, maybe....

The University of Michigan is reporting that it may lose close to $1B dollars.

This is an interesting article. It's in the opinion section, but it is written by a Physician. You need to provide an email address to access, but you don't need to subscribe. To summarize, by the time most people feel the effects of COVID Pneumonia, they are already critical. By monitoring heart rate and O2 levels, treatment can begin early and possibly prevent the need for ventilators, etc. Also, patient position on side / stomach can open airways.

Mid March, I was out of work sick. Running a 100+ fever.  17th the wife checked my BP and it was 75/46 - so I got to go visit the ER.  I remember her dropping me off at the door saying she was going to park the car.  Next thing I know, I was waking up in ICU after 2.5 days on a ventilator in an induced coma.  Bacterial infection and Pneumonia kicked my butt.  I'd almost rather go through heart bypass again.  5 more days in the hosp and released home.  Was checked for Covid and flu.  Fortunately, no.  Not my preferred way to lode 20 lbs...  LOL  Back to normal now, well, normal for me anyway.

If I remember correctly, Kern county is a rural county not a large city like NY, LA, SF or Seattle.  Of course you will not see such a high incident of COVID in Kern county.  

I agree rural areas probably do not need as a strict social distancing as they are de facto already socially distanced.

My wife cuts my hair at home. Simple enough to do. Just clippers with the little different # spacer things.

My father-in-law cuts my hair at our house. It's good to have a hair dude in the family, but I'm considering shaving it all off. I don't have much left on top anyway.

I've been cutting my own hair long before all this happened. Clippers, mirror, practice. Lots of YT videos on how to do it. It's not rocket science.

Something like that. They keep you from scalping yourself.

It's even easier if you simply shave your head. I used to do it all the time when I was a teenager, good old #0. I started doing it again before all the COVID-19 shutdowns started happening. I use a #1 now. Needs to be cut fairly often or it looks terrible because the hair grows at different rates and it's very obvious when it's short like that. I've been putting it off for a few days, now. I think I'll go back to #0.

I start with #4, then #3, then #0, I guess that's no attachment, to even things out. I started doing it more often when I realized it took less time than going to the barber shop and I could do it anytime. It also helps that I'm saving $25 - $50 a pop.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.

      Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot.

      I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I am going to try to try to have more intent with my shot routines. I saw this process in a YouTube video I watched last night.  Decide what you want to happen - Yardage, shot shape, start line Visualize what you want to happen - Straight forward, but one tip he suggested was while focusing the shot take in a slow deep breath (like 4 seconds in duration), hold for 1 second, then exhale slowly (like 4 seconds again). There is some evidence to show that this rhythmic style of breathing can help in calming heart rate and improving focus.  Feel what you want to happen. - Your 1-2 practice swings. Like if you need to hit your PW at 90%, feeling that.  Commit to what you want to happen on the ball.  Post-shot routine, where you either gain confidence from a good shot or learn from a mistake to foster a growth mentality. - If it was a good shot then give yourself some good vibes/feedback. If the shot didn't turn out, then access why to learn from it. I am going to add, don't get negative.

      I mean, if you like GZ, and would drink it more often during a round than water, then keep drinking that. If you walk 18 holes, on a hot summer day, and drink 2 20-oz waters or 4 20-oz GZ. You will benefit more from the 4 20-oz GZ because it's like 99.99% water, lol. Yea, if flavored water makes you drink more water, then that works better.  I would just monitor the salt intake relative to your own health. I am sure some people might have to be careful. GZ is 280 mg salt. So, 4 of those is over 1000 mg. It is over 4 hours. That is like half the daily recommended intake of salt. You are probably losing some of your salt reserves playing golf. Long winded way of saying, it depends on the person.
