Had a similar problem once in college. Got up hung over and mistook the brill cream for the colgate. Only did it once.

Our governor in Wisconsin a couple of days ago closed all the K-12 schools, and this morning the Minnesota governor did the same thing. These are big decisions, affecting lots of young working families, but I really think it is the right thing to do fight this new enemy.



Its going to be an interesting 2020 for sure!
You see what you started.? We went from Coronavirus to butt cream. What’s going on here? Stay safe.

Everyone Please consider this. I"m not a member of boondocking but I'm just trying to help. I'm home and the camper is parked next to the garage. No plans to travel in the near future. But those who are on the road or full timing and need to get somewhere.

Our campground here in AZ was open to new arrivals up to today but at 4 PM they have been closed to all new arrivals whether you have previously made reservations or not. Those of us that are here already can extend our stay BUT NO NEW ARRIVALS WILL BE ACCEPTED, PERIOD! They have closed everything except the laundry facility, and mailroom. If we need to talk to the office we need to call them prior to coming down to it. This is just a little advise to those that are planning on heading out. National, State and COE parks are closed and many of the private parks are also closed to new arrivals!

Nice benefit about "Boondockerswelcome" is you can easily a 41 ft fifth wheel in/out, many have water and power and you can stay 1 - 2 weeks. We joined Harvesthosts but after checking most of the sites in California there are very few sites where we can pull a 41 ft fifth wheel in/out of, no water and electricity and limited 1 night (some say 2).

Central coastal CA campgrounds that were closed are opening up May 1. We'll be there. They are booking up quickly so glad we had a reservation already in place. We may decide to start early and go to a currently open site. The local news highlights businesses that have remained open while maintaining standards for personal protection. Del's pizza, here we come.

Some replies about the current attempts at restricting some of our "unalienable rights" makes me smile. Our government whether it be donkeys or elephants has been chipping away at our rights for decades. They've just hit on the very basic ones here lately that have rattled our attention. I'd retell the story about how putting up one side of a fence, then another, then another, then another until a certain group of animals over time got used to being fenced in with little protest at all, but I don't want another stern letter from the moderators.

I don't think you will get a letter from the moderators because i have no idea what you are talking about?

Years back before the MOC became absorbed by RVLife ... the MOC administrators nipped a whole lot more in the bud than now. Fond recollections will always linger for me ... Ha!

Yeah, they banned me on IRV2 for exercising constitutional rights in a respectful but direct way.

I haven't changed a single plan of mine due to COVID 19. Still bought my RV. Moved in full time. Still traveling for work. Right now I am in between jobs and on a long term spot near a lake. Definitely not going to let COVID 19 cramp my style as much as that is possible. Just not very social right now.

What I am doing is wearing a mask when I am in contact with the public and following CDC recommendations. Just got back from working a hot zone and saw it every day. None of the folks I worked with got sick. We were all careful to mask, gown and face shield with every encounter.

The CDC recommendations work. It isn't 100 percent. Something could happen however, WE have control over our own choices and that includes avoiding the public in general if you are high risk. It certainly was a high risk situation in my last job and we were able to mitigate that. I do believe most of the public could do the same with a few minor behavioral change. Seems to be difficult for some folks though.

This is a serious public health threat. Not at all trying to suggest it is not. It is just not the fearsome monster the news media reports daily. We have identified 1.4% of the population as having COVID. Yet the media keeps trying to scream out 5 MILLION. Those raw numbers mean very little and the data collected by the states at times has been questionable. When you really dig into available public data it looks like we are "statistically" having roughly the same problems that the rest of the densely populated countries are. That just doesn't create clickbait headlines so we probably won't hear that reported.

This is anectdotal however, the infections that I saw seemed to cluster in families or some other close encounters. That tells me there needs to be some time of exposure and a fairly robust viral load in order to get an infection going. I saw very few random cases where the person didn't have close contact with an infected invidivdual.

I have to say, go out, have fun, keep your plans if you're able to modify them in the context of this pandemic. No sense in stopping life in its tracks if you are able to safely enjoy and entertain yourself.
