      Hard truths spoken here against your tribe are hard to hear. I understand Mik. I'm not as smooth as Jon and John at making my point, I agree.

        I don't have a tribe, you blithering jackass. And I sure as hell don't have a master. But an intelligent conversation was taking place and you just came in and shit all over it for no particular reason. Larry's not here. he can't hurt you anymore. So stop pretending. Or hallucinating, whatever it is.

          Might as well drag Aqua into it...

          So, what does that say about mask/no mask?

          😁

          Assuming masks are used properly, I don't see how you can explain around the simple physics of how masks work.

                Restaurant, bar, gym owners are hopping mad here in San Diego. We are still in the "red" tier preventing full reopening. It's appalling how many small businesses will go under because of these non-scientific edicts. All the pols are drunk on their power. The Newsom recall will happen, probably in August. Rumor says it will be by "mail-in" ballots. Gee, I bet Gavin will gladly welcome that. He'll likely survive.

                  How many of them have tried to adapt?

                  Very few have gone under around here.

                    @aqua-letifer Well, many have tried to adapt with outdoor facilities. I go to a gym that has a nice outdoor setup. I actually now prefer working out outdoors. But, the problem is that many restaurants can't get by with only outdoor and takeout business. One owner was on the news saying he was losing $5000 a week even with limited outdoor and takeout. In my area of San Diego when I drive around I now see a fair number of shuttered businesses. Most are small Mom-and-Pop type. The big chains are going to survive, although a big tech store I used to visit called Fry's Electronics has apparently closed for good. I also heard that Best Buy is closing some stores, but none so far in California. Complete re-opening has got to happen soon.

                      The only reason there has not been an absolute small business apocalypse is federal bailouts keeping many afloat. But we have to reopen. And right soon. I was in Florida this week - no distance between tables, few masks. There rates do not seem to be going up.

                        I honestly don't mind at all.

                        I try, admittedly not always successfully, not to take this stuff too seriously.

                        'tis a silly place.

                        I was only joking

                          Headlines from 1918:

                          "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
