I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's not that hard to grasp.

Apparently it's impossible to grasp.

Right? It looks like, overall, Ohio is doing well on flattening the curve, but then it was in the 60s for the past few days here and there were people playing baseball on the fields around the corner. So, y'know, any gains we make as a whole (country/state/city) are going to be in spite of the jackwagons who think the rules don't apply to them.

Thrive to spite them

So McMasters isn't using a shelter in place but he has closed all pulic beaches and boat ramps, restaurants are take out only and now he is closing all mom essential businesses. So basically doing pretty much everything a shelter in place order would do except telling people to shelter in place.

Good old Texas state government. Sigh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and now he is closing all mom essential businesses

Great typo. It makes me worried for the white wine industry.

The thing about living in Texas is that your expectations of state government are so low that you're pleasantly surprised when the governor does something even vaguely helpful.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

And my sewing machine is refusing to actually sew -- the needle is moving, the cloth goes forward, but the stitch isn't locking through the fabric, something is not happening with the bobbin part of the equation. Aaargh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

And I thought, "I want to see Ayn Rand in a Leper Colony fighting off contagion with her personal responsibility."

Leprosy is hard to catch and can be readily cured. Do they still have sanitoria for tuberculosis?
