I'm too cheap to eat at the lodge, just put PB&J sandwich in my pocket. But I do have to use the restroom...

We were supposed to go to Breck in 2 weeks... not any longer. Of course, the closing down of resorts and the mandated evacuation of all non-residents from Summit County, CO aren't covered by the trip insurance I bought for our Epic Passes. We'll see what Vail/Epic does for pass holders. Condo people have already offered day-for-day credit for next season... very nice of them. And the airlines have waived change fees, but not cancellation fees, so I'm now planning ANOTHER ski trip for next year. Bummed, but it is what it is.

If you want to freak out a bit, take a screenshot of the statistics on the Johns Hopkins site. I’ve noticed a 10% rise in deaths the previous day and with 6 hours to go for my daily snapshot it’s up 10% already. Also it’s not just an old person thing, there’s a publicized one in ffx hospital of a 44 year old in rough shape.

At the front end of something in a country large as ours you will see "exponential" growth in the early stages.



Every time I see someone on the news in their mid-40's I'm like "dammn that guy looks rough...." then I look in the mirror myself.

Sadly the early stages were weeks ago. This is the predictable phase.

Netflix Party lets you have movie night while social distancing. Plus NASCAR is planning an on line series!
