Hello young Albert

You will be pleased to know that I am working from home. I have a teleconference later today  

No commute unless you count walking from my bedroom to the computer 👨‍💻 

Did you dress?

It’s a bit too cool for total exposure... oh you meant... never mind 

I suppose that answers my earlier query.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME 

So Isaac Newton was sent home during the Plague and he invented calculus and discovered gravity. This guy not so much...

All I can say it's a good thing this astrophysicist doesn't work with black holes ... who knows where his magnets would end up.

Greetings Albert. Sadly I'm not. The weather is shifting and it's causing me difficulties. I do thank you though for asking.

[Albert1434]

I think we need to put you in a weather proof case

The governor has closed SC's beaches and all public access to the states waterways. Last week Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach and Horry and Georgetown Counties closed all hotels, motels and rental properties plus local attractions. That in essence has closed down the area as it's primary industry is tourism and there are now no tourists. I don't count as a tourist  but rather as a "snowbird", someone from the North who winter's here.

[Albert1434]

Your one cute snow bird then

The military installations in SC will no longer be releasing the results of Covid-19 testing to the public. SC is home to Shaw Air Force Base, the Army's Fort Jackson (the country's largest Basic Training facility) Parris Island Recruit Depot and Marine Air Station Beaufort.

Gee, don't know how I forgot the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command since my son was stationed there.

At four o'clock today the governor is expected to order all non-essential businesses in SC to close.

I'm also partial to liver and bacon (strips of liver wrapped in bacon).

Me too... with onions and gravy.   Hey, Marty! Finished strimming and clearing the brush from the garden yet?

Wow!  That was incredible!  Thanks for sharing.  That's one of my all-time favorite songs  

Mine too. It was great to see John Densmore and the surviving Neville brothers. Just a wonderful example of music as a universal language. Hey, sis.

  Hey, dugh and Mum.

Wow, 1500 pages of chat, that's a lot.  

By now the Corona virus spread has slowed down enough here, that the authorities are considering a very careful relaxation of measures after Easter. But it will probably be months before we're back to normal, as the epidemic will stll be ongoing, and they'll be monitoring developments to be sure the infection rate doesn't increase again.

Off to bed, see y'all tomorrow.

Smart move, after reading about how many are testing positive from Spring Break in Florida.

It was in the 70s here Sunday and dropped into the 40s yesterday.  It's about 50 now, not too bad, although overcast and dreary.

Almost there, Gary. Almost there!

Although once I get finished and everything raked up, I shall go over the main part again using the cord in the strimmer instead of the blade. That should result in a much neater finish.

And, yes. I will share some before/after photos eventually.

I hadn't spotted the 1500 pages, till you mentioned it.

Although they haven't announced a relaxation yet here in Ireland, we have been warned that if and when one does take place it may only be temporary.

Sleep well, Master Tim.

Ok back to Morningstar

Ruel Van Dijk is supposed to hold a concert at Detroit's Majestic Theater on August 7th. I know that's still five months away, but you never know what could happen. I've held off buying any tickets just yet.
