Going Backwards - 143,000 Dead

Covid 19 stats as of 7-20-2020

We're going backwards.  FL, NY, WA, TX have gone back into a "lock down" state.  NO eating INSIDE restaurants or bars.   The crazy NY & CA governors have made the wearing of face masks mandatory whenever you step out side.  Fuckin nuts.

I've put on 10 pounds since March and am a super fat ass now.  On the positive side, I HAVE managed to quit smoking for the last 4 weeks.  The smoking was literally taking my breath away from me so it was time, after 50 years of smoking, to quit.

Justin Howe and family bought and closed on a new home in Powell, TN.   Unfortunately 4 DAYS after they closed, Ashley got laid off from her "new" job and a place in Knoxville.  It's bee almost 3 weeks now and we still haven't heard any news if Ashley is employed.  I'm a little worried for them.  Kathy and I cannot afford to help them with any house payments now because our income has been drastically reduced over the last 2 years and we'd hate to see them loose their home in the 1st couple of months of living there.  

Anyway - everything is till fucked up.  We're still in a shelter-in-place in our cabin.  We've been to ONE restaurant in the last YEAR.   Cooking at home is getting boring now too.   

Now we wait.  Im my opinion, we haven't seen the worst of the effects of this pandemic.
