What I did see was people using disposable gloves to handle the pump and then disposing of them before going back inside the car. I should have thought of that, but I did have my disinfectant wipes and only used one hand to touch the pump. And yes, I wiped TWICE the hand before getting back in. It looked like a pre-op scene from the old ER TV show.

So, the message is: Let’s keep it civil if you please. But do not lower your guard.

Reader Therefore sent me this email to share with all of you.

We have a friend who is a trucker.  I explicitly asked him to send us some images/pictures of loaded trucks.  I was going to push them out to help slow down the panic.

The answer I got back wasn’t very pleasant.  Seems that the truckers are “essential” workers and allowed to keep on trucking.  Warehouse workers are not.  Our friend arrived at the warehouse in CA and there were no workers to load the trucks.  Warehouse has lots in it, I won’t say it was full, but nothing like the empty shelves of retailers.  So there is a bunch of truckers waiting in their trucks for the warehouse people to show up to unload and then load.

He’s expecting the government to release warehouse workers tomorrow.  Still, this puts deliveries in CA at least a day behind.

You get the feeling that some decisions are being made by people who have no idea how a supply chain works. It is easy to issue orders. It is hard to issue orders with common sense and forethought.

It will take time to smooth the kinks.

What appears to be a California compliant Tommy Gun replica.

Blame goes to the Blogson…

There is a photo circulation in the webs that claims to be of a very passed out and very naked Andrew Gillum with a side of puke. I am not going to post it here, but you can click here and see it.

The Daily Mail got its hands on pictures of the hotel room after the fact but with a lot of evidence left behind. The tiles on the floor of those pictures match the tiles in Gillum’s photo.

And that is all I am going to say.

Los Angeles, California.

Under Prop 47, people can fill bags with supplies and walk out the door and the police can hardly do anything.

Add in a little Wuhan panic and police in LA have been told to significantly curtail arrest and are actively releasing criminals from jail.

But the law-abiding people of Los Angeles do not want to be stuck indoors for weeks on end.  They want to go outside and breathe the fresh air.

The mayor of LA does not want that to happen.  The streets belong to the criminals now and the citizens of LA dare not tread on their turf.

So what to do?  If you are a fan of the Soviet system or have read 1984 as a how-to manual, you encourage neighbors to turn in other neighbors.

It’s about to go down in LA.

LA Mayor says he will ‘deputize’ city officials to ‘drive around’ & enforce the “stay at home” order, and citizens must comply

Fredo- “what if they don’t stay home, how is it enforced?”

Garcetti- “Yeah, we’ll visit them…”https://t.co/OeHvQ7WiVr

You know that HOA nazi bitch that walks around the community with a ruler making sure your grass is just the right height or else you are breaking covenant and destroying her property value?

The mayor of LA has just given her the authority to patrol the community in her mask and rat out everyone else taking their dog for a walk.

There is no one more officious than someone with no real authority but thinks they have it.

She is going to get right up in your face with her mask on and tell you how you are killing people because you took your dog for a walk.  Don’t you dare talk back to her because the next time you take your dog for a walk, she will call the cops on you.

They will come, by the way.  Because busing your ass for not staying inside is far less dangerous for them than dealing with a convicted felon on early release who just robbed a CVS of Tylenol to sell on the black market for heroin.

Welcome to hell.

I finally got my replacement revolver from Taurus today and that is another story for next week.  So I went over Rick’s of 305Guns (see sidebar) with my 4473 already filled and thinking about all the stuff I had to do after.

He went online to do background check in the FDLE website and got welcomed   with a notice that the BGs were running about 3 to 3.5 hours late. He scoffed, I scoffed and we both agreed they were exaggerating.

An hour and ten minutes later I left Rick to do his regular job and I went to do my opther chores sans gun. Yup, nothing returned.  So I guess I could do all other stuff in the other two hours and wait for Rick to call me when it was all done but the screaming.

HA!

It took five hours and forty five frigging minutes for the Background Check to complete. Rick said the FDLE site is now giving you a 5 hour wait warning.

I need a drink.
