    Interesting.  Less planes taking off and landing, less road traffic, etc.  Wouldn't have thought we had that much of an affect on the mother ship.  I would assume that the animals' senses would be more keen also.

    Who knows, without the COVID 19 slow down, it may have only registered 4.8.

    It’s been awhile...Easter 2010 almost 10 years ago we had pretty good one.  I was in a Bookstore and just missed a couple top shelf hardbacks.

    They initially Said exercise and going outside is fine so everyone congregated to the parks!!!  They closed those Monday- finally.  Loads of people complaining about the lack of testing but they aren’t even taking social distancing seriously.  Stay away from people it is pretty simple.

    NYC has seen same and so is trying an approach of blocking off streets and turning them into pedestrian ways to give folks the room to spread out. Traffic has been light to non-existent so worth a shot.

    Also saw yesterday where some grocery stores have taped stripes on their floors that are 6' apart to remind customers and show what spacing looks like.

    How curious. In Spain and other countries we are using taped stripes that are 2 meters apart (6' 9''). 

    If the crisis ends up being worse in the US, we can call out your measuring system. 

    Checkmate, Imperial System! Metric will always be better. ?

    PS: Spain is a mess (mostly Madrid) but I have no ill relatives and we're fine. Take care ya"ll 😉

    Yes it has been since March 15th. Some people like me started the quarantine 4-5 days earlier. 

    Spain may end up being the most damaged country in the world if we don't stop the trend, thanks to a very old population and stupid politicians. 

    Health masks and ventilators coming to our country (and already paid) have been confiscated in Turkey and USA, which doesn't help the matter either.

    The metric system was invented by the French Revolutionaries,  who would cut off your head if you didn't adhere.  Fuck that.

    And besides....the metric system gives European  McDonald's the opportunity to cheat on the size/weight of their "Royale"  burger.  Here it has to be a Quarter Pounder...and the Bureau of weights and measures holds them to that.  so fuck the metric system for that reason as well.    😛

    Well, you should do what we should have been doing.....making your own.  Instead of relying on imports.

    Stub footed kicker once held longest FG record. 

  • This story sounds like today's local 6 or 11 pm news but it has hit former NFL players at various ages.

    .....Only four days ago came word that Tom Dempsey had recovered from COVID-19. The good news was short lived.

    The former NFL kicker died late Saturday of complications from the coronavirus, the Times-Picayne reports. Dempsey was 73.

    Dempsey had battled Alzheimer’s disease and dementia since 2012. He was one of several residents of a senior living facility in New Orleans to contract COVID-19, testing positive March 25.

    At least 15 residents at the Lambeth House retirement home in Uptown New Orleans have died from the coronavirus, according to the Times-Picayune.

    Dempsey becomes at least the second former NFL player to die after contracting COVID-19. Orlando McDaniel, who played three games for the Broncos in 1982, died last week. McDaniel was 59........

  • He held that longest FG record for like 43 years until it was beat by...I think  "Elam"  from the Broncos....in the Denver rarified air.

    Yea, mid-70's, other serious health issues, in a nursing home and in Louisiana area. Bad combination. Sounds like he was probably suffering and not really living a quality life to begin with. I am not being callous or poo pooing a passing from C19, but these are the demographics of the majority of casualties. That record kick stood 43 years. Wow. God bless.
