Corona Virus #8

"...no direct evidence that cats would be able to infect people." from link.

I doubt there is "evidence" that it doesn't either.

BoJo moved to the ICU as his condition worsens ...

For me this is of much more interest than tractor discussions. But if buying green vs orange is important, it only demonstrates that the average person is rather stupid. After all, any intelligent person buys blue. Lol.

Now, now there is one better color red . . .

Yeah... New Holland. :laughing:

In the early 70's my best friend and I would get gunny sacks and walk the dirt road behind our neighborhood looking for bottles to cash in for 10 cents apiece. Man, I tell you what! :laughing: Two 9-10 year old kids with 30-40 bottles could get mighty sick on 3-4 dollars worth of candy at the dairy store! :ashamed:

:laughing:

I've tried to explain to my kids what penny candy was.....

"It was candy that cost a penny"

They still don't understand that! :laughing:

"You hand the clerk 1 penny and she hands you back 1 piece of candy"

"You hand the clerk 100 pennies, and she hands you back 50 pieces of candy, a bottle of pop, an ice cream bar, and a bag of chips!"

They stare at me like I'm nuts. :laughing:

Pixi-Stix used to be a penny...

Another innovation, this at the veterinarian. Nobody goes into the reception area. The handoff of your pet takes place in the parking lot. You park and open the rear door for access to the animal carrier, then get back in the vehicle. Then call the receptionist, who comes outside and removes the animal carrier from your vehicle. Same thing when picking up in reverse.

Seems dimentia is setting in with a few of you... this is the Corona thread, not the you know your old thread. :confused2: Or is this a symptom?

American Graffiti era. $3 was plenty to go cruising all evening.

(That movie was quite literally the chronicle of my youth, location and all.)

Petaluma mostly, correct?

One of my dogs blew out his knee last week. I took him to the Vet. I carried him inside and placed him on the examining table. Doc checked him out and prescribed medication for now. I carried the dog back to my truck then went inside and had a good visit with Doc who is my friend. When done we shook hands. He cleaned his hands with Purell. When I got in my truck I cleaned mine.

They work hand in hand. Some of us like to reminisce because by tomorrow you might be in ICU on a vent. Look at Boris Johnson. One minute he is "in the hospital for some test", then "in good spirits", and the next thing you know he is in ICU with a tube shoved in him. It all can happen so fast.
