waiting out the storm (virus)

Domestic violence is up 300 per cent locally. I imagine it is the same all over.

Interesting enough one of the reasons is women who had ALREADY left an abusive relationship decide to RETURN out of new anxiety and fear brought on by Covid19 concerns.

Interesting in that county ambulance is furloughing ambulance crews because so few calls now

DNR same as a damned game warden,
as long as you will be digging a hole i'd say you are getting ready for a nosy sob, then ask if he's the one.

That could be considered a threat and most of them have no sense of humor. I'd be careful.

To they carry guns?

In almost 60 years here, we have only had one jerky State Trooper and one miserable Fish Cop. It took some time, but we got rid of them. The Fed cops (National Park Service) get stupid and try to bully us once in awhile but they never last long either.

For the most part, law enforcement has been friendly, civil and approachable and will listen to reason.

I just came home from a Canada Border Services office to clear a parcel. Canada Customs). Most of them have no sense of haha either. Plus they’re armed.

Game wardens here are very professional and helpful. Sounds like you have had a personal problem, and it's not the Game Warden...

Definitely, and usually in BDUs or camos, like guerillas.

I agree with that we have swung too far in the other extreme. A friend of mine is an essential worker in Rhode Island. When talking with him about the elk viewing spot, he said that is essential for your healthy sanity. But I agree with you shooter about wanting to help a neighbor with tractor work. 6 ft distance can easily be followed on outdoor projects. One question asked of our governor during her press confrences was can landscapers go to work. her answer was a big NO. But I can hear the blowers working in the nearby golf course clearing the leaf debris from the courses. Not essential in in the ordinance, but safely doable. Oh well. Enjoy, and stay healthy. Jon

Hey civilian,

Looks like we are almost neighbors. I am 25 miles NE of Gaylord.

Do you know Jerry K? He is Vanderbilt as well.
