Friday's perfect. I'm heading south tomorrow to shop. Keep a mask on hand to comply.

I think we have it where we want it now. It is in front of the Governor and coming from multiple places.
If I had anything to say to these leagues it is do not cancel yet. I do not know if Abbott will change anything, but it will not be because he was not aware of the consequences of his decision on delaying competitive games until June 15th.

I will tell you it may have been doomed anyway. The problem was multifold...it wasn't just delaying the start, I know we had multiple parents telling the league they felt it was too soon and that they weren't going to let their kids play anyway.
Thats the problem a lot of these real small associations were having. We have enough players in Belton to overcome that. In fact it is helping us. We know we are going to lose a few teams and have to combine some teams together which helps scheduling a ton. We have 14 coach pitch and I think 16 t ball. We will probably have 10 and 12 when we kick off.BohunkAg said:

It's nice though thinking that the parents are allowed to make that decision instead of the state making it for them. I have zero problem with those parents and respect their decisions. I have all kinds of problems with us not being allowed to decide.

The chamber canceled the 4th of July parade.
Facebook posts have indicated that BLM/Antifa Austin are in downtown Temple. I'm heading to Point 4 and will be there after they close.
Oh hell! Protect your property!
When'd you get on the Facebook?

Abbott was involved in this decision! And I apologize, not canceled, a virtual parade.
I'm not, a friend of mine sent me a screenshot. I'm home now, no issues downtown and a heavy police presence was around.mazzag said:

Ha. I'm reading this thread from a bar patio in Trinidad Colorado. Im trusting my neighbors to defend til the end.
And they had protests here today.

I'm reading this from El Paso and my wife is in Houston. And we live close to downtown.
I'm hoping my neighbors have my back.

The police found 2 pallets of bricks staged in an alley earlier today, but thankfully there were no issues tonight. Downtown was packed though.
Humble brag! What will you say when asked "have you traveled outside the region lately "?
Not a humble brag.
No worries, it was packed downtown but everyone was cordial and respectful. Heavy police presence and "Open Carry Texas" was working with the police. I don't think Antifa showed up, or if they did, they didn't have the numbers to cause mayhem. Nothing broken and no fights.c-jags said:

Yea that's been on my mind. Its really not an issue in Texas, but they had the 'authority' in NM until last week to force out of state travelers to self quarantine for 14 days. Not sure they ever actually enforced it on a thru state traveler. But you never know. That part of the trip was pretty busy today with a lot of out of state plates. And we saw several cops. We did not and are not going to stop anywhere in NM.

Side note, did y'all see the temp projection for next Tuesday? 103-110 is the forecast, not heat index. It's gonna be a hot summabich.

And the AC went out on my Pathfinder on the way here just north of Amarillo. Tje outside temperature was 100. Fortunately there were storms in New Mexico that cooled everything off.
Nobody here can fix it anytime soon. We are probably going to drive back at night early next week.

Beautiful scenery. Cheap. Drivable. Partially open unlike NM. And, uh, relaxing.

NM is a sheethole. Not all of it. But good grief! Fix the roads! Increase the speed limits! This side of Albuquerque to the Texas border looks like a meth trailer park.

Speaking of.... I got into El Paso late last night and couldn't get the AC working in the rental car. Drove out to Horizon City for my worksite... still couldn't get the AC working And it was hot at 9 AM. finished up around 4. It was 108 out here and no AC in a 2020 Ford Fusion. I had to drive down I10 to change the car out with window down just to survive.
I'm from San Angelo so I know dry and hot but this was a scorcher like I've never seen. I may burn my work clothes from today due to the permanent sweat stains.

Hell to the no!Quote:
Big cities all across Texas are asking Governor Abbott to consider making wearing masks in public to limit the spread of COVID-19 a "mandatory" action, and some cities like Waco have already issued proclamations ordering it their jurisdictions.
Which brings us to Killeen and Mayor Jose Segarra who, according to a report from the Killeen Daily Herald's Artie Phillips, says that he is in favor of requiring people to wear masks in public, adding that he was planning to propose the requirements be county-wide.
Segarra made the comments on Monday during a video meeting with county officials who are also considering the matter in light of the growing spike in cases over the last few days.
The problem, of course, is enforcing any "mask" order. While they are considering fines for businesses and individuals, in reality, getting the general public to follow along is going to be much tougher.
It's coming. He's already pressuring the Bell co judge to make businesses enforce masks.
And FWIW, I see a lot of Amazon purchases in my future.
Does "in public" include "outdoors"

In a fun turn of news for us, my wife went with some friends to the beach and she briefly saw her friend's daughter during that who was returning from Pine Cove camps. Her daughter's counselor had a positive test, then the daughter tested positive.
One hug to a 14 year old and we're quarantined for 2 weeks.

Almost sent my kid to Pine Cove. Ha.
I tried to go in the EZ Pawn on WS Young and 190 the other day and was turned away because of no mask. Only Bell Co business I know of that is enforcing any company policies.
I could care less what the county says. I am not wearing a mask. And I promise not to get within six feet of anyone.
