Bourbon and cigar is what you need to do a "smoke test" for vacuum leaks

And practice makes perfect, so you are NOT drinking and smoking, you are training to do "smoke tests"

Funny that y'all would mention medicine. I just stopped at the little distillery down the road and stocked up.

{Darn. Where's the "attach files button"?}

growing up, my neighbor always called the package liquor store "the west side pharmacy" as it was on the west side of the tracks and the real pharmacy was on the east side.

I just got back from the liquor store. One of the few business that seems to be operating as if nothing is going on.... shelfs are a little emptier than normal but people were coming and going like any other day.

Taught my grandson about "granny's medicine"

For some reason this song comes to mind... "Although she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill, and she goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper"

 

[RonD]

Yup that would be it

 

[Uncle Gump]

I think we have to many Coronavirus threads going... and they all seemed to be sidetracked at this point. This one is probably more on point then the others.

I have a mandatory cooperate webinar today at noon. I hope I can find out a little bit more of the cooperate direction as this situation unfolds.

I know as this worsens I'm finding that my employees are becoming more concerned... not about maintaining their job... but about their and their families safety while coming into direct contact with the general public. I am also concerned about that issue... very much so. I've implemented several safety procedures to help protect my employees and my customers but what is enough to ensure everyone's safety? I don't think there is anything in my power I can do to make this situation completely safe for everyone.

I plan to update with what I'm told... but cooperate America is known to be greedy and profits are sometimes put ahead of all else. I hope they don't came at us with stay open at all costs. This thing is far larger then I can handle. I also know a bunch of franchisees that are already upside down with this and they are about to go belly up.

The worse thing to happen will be to lose the supply chain.
Kroger execs have said there is plenty of food available.
If the banks close, or worse yet....fail, credit will be gone.
Farmers need credit to buy their fertilizer, seed, fuel, etc.
Truckers need credit to run their business.
If we lose credit everything will shut down.
There may be plenty of food but if the trucks don't deliver we will starve, and then it will turn into a Madd Maxx scenario.

That food needs to be processed too, nobody goes to the store and buys live chickens for supper or shelled corn to make tortilla chips. There is a whole network there that has to be in place.

And American farmers produce more than the US needs... so we need open ports to sell the excess and keep money coming in and keep the machine running.

Grain prices are already down, if we can't export anything they are going to really go down and it won't be worth doing anything.

And yay, this is my year for corn. $300/bag for seed kinda fun, takes about 4 bags for my little 6 acres.

Just read in the news. Its been a little over a week since Venice has been on quarantine lockdown and the canals have done something no ones ever seen before. The water became clear and dolphins and fish started swimming in them...

Yeah, the virus might be a good thing for the planet....temporarily at least.
