Wisconsin

[#UnleashSean]

Rural Wisconsin is certainly no Milwaukee or Madison.  In my county, the volunteer fire departments raise money by holding gun raffles.  A farmer a few miles from my house whose barn faces the state highway has about a dozen flags planted in front of it, evenly divided between Trump 2020 flags, American flags, and "Don't Tread on Me" flags.

My new neighbor (I moved in recently) was talking to me about a few things. I was having some fun, knew he was a fair bit more to the right then I was, but unlike some people, can deal with these things.

Into about beer number 5 he told me all about how Obama started COVID to take the country back over, and then him, hillary, and Joe would all be indited in the next week. Me being me, I let this conversation continue, and boooooooy did it get weird.

It's amazing the things people will say matter-of-factly.

Lefties have been called out for saying trump will try to cancel election or just not leave if he loses, but those are things trump said out loud.

The leaks about our plot leave much to be desired. I am going to have to speak to someone in security--we can't have every Wisconsin yokel know of our nefarious schemes.

Sounds like when Willie was convinced that martial law was going to be declared at a Walmart in Texas.

Not an AutoZone in Wisconsin?

Finally, a promise that trump kept!

Two weeks into the mask mandate, and crickets from opponents.

Two weeks into the mask mandate, and crickets from opponents.

A couple reasons.  First, I think most people are at least understanding why we are doing this and don't view it as an assault on freedoms.

Second, they aren't really enforcing it in a lot of places.  I was at a microbrewery over the weekend, and while the staff was masked, only about a third of the patrons were.  (We sat outside away from everyone.)

Honestly, I wish there was a contact line to report non compliant businesses.  This is as much of a health crisis as rats in the kitchen.

Honestly .. that really surprises me.    The legislature has an election to worry about .. but what about outside "liberty" groups?

Right.  Congress has admitted they don't have the votes to overturn it, but I am also surprised that the usual suspects aren't out filing court cases.

Talk to us in a month.  Cases are going up...which will be followed by hospitalizations...then deaths.

It's been over a month of really high daily positive Cases but hospitalizations and deaths have remained relatively low.

Kudos to Wisconsinites for protecting the most vulnerable and for our continued success in keeping the worst of this pandemic muffled for now 🤞

I always knew you had to pay for it.

[Galway Eagle]

If anyone manages to get laid M or F without kissing and still "warms up the oven before sticking in the turkey" (American pie 2), while they both have a mask on, then they deserve it because that's one hell of a talent

15 minutes in and out for the whole family to get tested at the Alliant in Madison.

Jockitch should swing by on its way to reedsburg, since no tests are available in Racine.

Off topic .. my son has a stuffy nose, zero other symptoms.  Google says that's not enough, but my wife thinks he should be tested.

Anyone stayed at a Holiday Inn Express break the tie for us?

How does the Holiday Inn Express play into the scenario?

I'd say no as well, UNLESS you have reason to believe he was exposed to someone that was COVID positive.

From the Google: Upper respiratory symptoms, like runny nose and sinus congestion, are very uncommon in COVID-19

Fever, cough, loss of smell...(especially the smell/taste thing from folks I've known)... Yes

so, if he doesn't pass the smell test...you must do best

Got our results back in 28 hours. 5 negatives to help make the positive rate look better, eh?
