Just heard some establishments are dumping beer down the drain,health departments are saying this could harm the environment.Hell I'll take one for the team and collect it,

I have multiple growlers and I'm doing my part

I have also entered by local small town bar through the back door to save a few pints from the drain

I found out about their booze laws the hard way, when I went to State College for a football game. Gator and I ended up having to "mooch" all day long from my friends who were also there. It sucked.

could have been worse - at least you had friends that were moochable~

Had a similar experience my senior year. Oof, that sucked.

The ATL now is open container legal as restaurants sell beer in cups and folks walk around with them.

Sounds like the WLOCP in Jax.

I assumed every car registered in Chicago has four bottles of Malort hidden in the trunk for emergencies.

I have to admit I’m going a little stir crazy. Too much change in too short a window. I am used to being out and about interacting with people. I typically drive 4000-5000 miles per month. I went from that to being home 23-24 hours per day for a month now, with almost every waking moment of that time being spent with my kids. And don’t get me wrong, part of that has been great but it has had it’s challenges too. And now I’m unemployed for the first time in almost 20 years.

Add no sports to enjoy, no gym to go to, no date nights with the wife, and it’s all been a bit much.

I don't say this gleefully, but I've never been busier professionally in my life this past month. Yes, we just went through the sale of our company, planned since November. Combine that with the wild times in the market, keeping kids on task, this in some ways has been much more stressful than summer 2008 to spring 2009.

Meanwhile many of my neighbors can't find a thing to do for an hour, I would love an hour to myself.

I'm at about as busy teaching high schoolers via "distance learning" as I was driving in to work and teaching in the classroom. What I could do orally in the classroom, I now have to type into a computer. For example, a 35-question online quiz requires me to make 210 separate data entries, one for each question stem plus five separate answer choices for each question. In class, I'd print the quizzes, then pass them out, and when time was up the students would exchange papers and we'd grade them. Easy!

We've oversold our forecast by 400% or so. When tens of thousands of businesses all switch their employees to WFH over a 3-week stretch, our sales skyrocketed. However, we're predicting a very soft second half to the year. So I've been very busy at work, as well.

Working with the kids home was tough, and now that my wife is laid off and home all the time as well, I thought it would be easier and she'd manage the kids, but so far they all just bother me more...

Things will settle down though. The kids are getting used to their school-from-home and my wife is working on her new business plan. Of course, she doesn't know how to do one, so I'm basically writing it with her input, and putting together all of the pro forma numbers, and searching for potential commercial properties, but... yeah, I'm sure things will settle down soon.

As we are retired, this has had a lot less impact on us that for many/most. I imagine we are saving money because of dining out less (and then it's only take out) and dropping the trip to Turkey (Hilton reimbursed me for the two rooms). We still have that Baltic cruise on the books for September but I'm 90% sure that will be delayed.

The wife is wanting me to book Hawaii over Christmas but I'm in no hurry, airline rates have no dropped for that. It's another perfect day here and I'm sure we'll do our walk in the park etc. I'm going to try the new burger place for lunch, folks have told me he burgers are incredibly good, Sam's San Francisco Burgers.

Imagine this happened in 1980, or even 1990, and how little access we would have had to much beyond TV and landlines. I wish the library would reopen soon.

We had lentils last night with our neighbor flavored with leftover lamb. We all really enjoyed that, simple dish.

He's talking about a trip to South Africa once this lifts.

I'm very busy at work as well and working from the office

I have a small understanding of Kris60. The traveling salesmen that usually stop by my office or meet me on the golf course or take me to dinner after work are having trouble. They are used to being on the road and using their skills to meet and greet and schmooze.

Since that isn't happening, many of them have been calling me sometimes twice a day just to talk. Many of these types can talk for well over 30 minutes at at a time.

Most of them are doing very well in generating sales, they just really miss the interaction

The Texas kid tells me he is incredibly busy, even working long hours when he was sick.
