The Drop in Centre
Kitt replied to Mikiesboy's topic in Mikiesboy's Drop in Centre's Mikieboy's Topics
Boss called me today to discuss how we should handle a large scale quarantine. I said simple, impliment plan b. I ordered enough grain and hay to keep us three weeks, recommended all lessons be cancelled, and to call boarders to inform them that we will exercise their horses if they are showing any signs of illness, they should stay home. He said he didn't know we had a plan b, he would start calling boarders immediately. -

I am going to smack todays show judge upside the head! For those who dont know, dressage is a series of tasks that are judged against a standard. In section 2 of one of the riders tests the judge made the remark " needs to be more active". Well in part 3 the mare decided to toss a hissy fit and started pitching and bucking, resulting in them being excused from the ring. Be careful what you ask for! -

Talk to the co workers you work with most. Make plans to be available for each other. -

I dont count it as a loss since I have put nothing in yet. I know they will call me again once the panic subsides. -

I was fully booked to transport horses to shows for the next month. That's 6 horses in 2 trailers both Saturday and sunday. Customers have been cancelling one horse at a time all week. This weekend I am down to 2 horses on sunday. I keep checking for the show management to cancel, but not yet. I think that is because if you scratch after registration close date you do not get a refund. That means if my two customers are the only ones to show up, the show still makes money. No incentive to cancel and with fewer that 100 entries no state mandate. -
Oh no, that was not HIS price. That is what the supplier tried to charge him!

The real Enemy here is panic. Corona is bad, flu, AIDS, Ebola, they're all bad. The humans are worse. I don't believe that no one has recovered. Death rates are reported. I have not heard of even ONE survival in the US. Why aren't they reporting the recovery rates? Because if they say people are surviving, they can't get the Panic they need. With probability to recover in a week to 10 days, tp doesn't fly off shelves. Hand sanitizer can actually be found. Price gouging doesn't work. $400 per gallon is what my physical therapist was quoted for hand sanitizer. Really? For 3 quarts of rubbing alcohol and a quart of aloe gel? Humans are horrid.

Does he have unlimited data on his phone? He can get internet access by opening a hot spot. -

I have Waze. It's not bad but occasionally tries to take the scenic route, but does relay delays and police reports recently provided someone reports an hazard. -

How could we NOT be interested? -
Stocking the pantry was the least of my issues. I positively HATE shopping so when I go, I have issues with where to store a months worth of groceries. The only stuff I will need for the foreseeable future are perishables.

Already spoke with them. But on the same token, i can understand why my having a sneezing fit might upset peeps, hence why i stayed home and did my exercises as best i could there.

Afternoon news says vacines are several months away at best.

We had ONE suspected case at the local hospital here that actually tested negative, but it started a panic like the prediction of a 4 foot snowstorm would. Bottled water was impossible to find for a few days (peeps, the water supply is NOT compromised) i could not find a dust mask in any store to sweep yhe floors in the barn with, and hand sanitizer, well dont expect yo see that any time soon. My pt's office had sanitizer on the front desk with a sign asking patients to use it BEFOR signing in due to the "current health crisis" and that was befor the suspected case turned up. I cancelled my apt on monday not because i was frightened, but because i was having an allergy attack. Figured if i had a sneezing fit it would start a riot!

Lack of support care is not the only indignity vets suffer. The older siblings of my group growing up were Vietnam vets. I remember spitting, stone throwing, and any number of 4 letter words cast at them. What I DONT remember is discount for vets at restaurants or even a show of minimal respect. We have come a long way, but have so much farther to go.

How's that for my first comment Carlos?

Hero's Haven is based on a real place in New Jersey. I strongly recomend people not only support such places, but help spread the word of their existance. If a similar place doesnt exist in your area, what are you waiting for?
