Doubt there’s much. Here’s a current picture of I-17 just south of Flagstaff.

I think the US “might” have turned the corner. If we ignore the headlines and just look at the numbers, it does show things moving in the right direction. Tomorrow is day 8 of Pres Trump’s “15 days”, maybe they’ll relax some restrictions and let people get back to work!

It’s nothing like a soft case. It weighs 8 pounds empty, if that matters.

It’s pretty stout with lots of padding. It comes with a lot of straps, so I cinch it up pretty good. I’ve had two rifles with Ammo and no issues. But I drive like a grandpa, so that might make a difference. Lol

I’ve been using this. It attaches to the back cross bars. However, if I ever get a rear window, I won’t be able to use it. Overall, I’m pretty happy. https://www.cabelas.com/product/auto-atv/atv-utv/atv-utv-cargo-management/atv-utv-gun-storage-mounts/pc/104796180/c/630506880/sc/153416880/i/104194980/cabelas-double-gun-case/1755643.uts?slotId=4

When even the liberal press at least mentions it, we’re heading in the right direction. In regards to China: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/03/809904660/why-the-death-rate-from-coronavirus-is-plunging-in-china And from the US perspective: https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/486231-health-experts-warn-coronavirus-mortality-rate-likely-to-drop

We actually want more people to test positive and recover, of course. This will give us much better data to deal with and quell the frantic with the skewed mortality rate.

What’s happening now is the mortality rate is now decreasing as data with people testing positive catches up. When this first broke, the death rate was like 4% and people were freaked. But it was skewed since the total people with the virus hadn’t been tested. This is exactly what a lot of the experts said would happen. It was just going to take several weeks of data. But the MSM didn’t want to report that. Doctors are now saying the mortality rate for the US will most likely be below 1%.

Another 6 feet or so and Roosevelt will be full!

I don’t buy the stuff, but I saw a couple packages at the DollarTree in Chandler yesterday.

Yup! For the record, I’m good with my current inventory, slowly adding since the last ammo run. When I like to go plinking I usually stop and pick up a box or two before heading out. Well that hit the crapper the past few weeks. Hence my online order. 😎

Lol, no kidding. I have 2 orders coming from 2 different online retailers. Both orders show in transit with tracking info. Whew!

About fell out of my chair laughing when I saw the Powerlines! You win the internet for 2020!

Out here in East Mesa we’ve got an interesting situation with full time residents competing with snowbirds. Normally it’s not an issue, but adding an extra 1,000 people into a neighborhood grocery store is causing a strain for sure. They’re leaving now, so it should help out a bit. No ill will towards them, they bring in lots of money into the local economy. It’s just an observation. With that said, I’m finding everything I need except TP. But I’m good to go with that.

Getting mentally drained from all CV19 talk, so been watching hunting vids on YouTube. Stumbled onto this video. At around the 3:30 mark the wind gets gusty and squirrelly, yet the bull doesn’t seem alerted. Then he casually turns to walk away. In my experience, every elk would have blown out of there quick. I’ve never hunted moose and I find it fascinating there was no reaction to the wind giving up the hunter’s scent.

He’s following what other states have done. Like natural disasters, I believe they’re being used as support. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/coronavirus/2020/03/13/national-guard-activated-to-combat-coronavirus-spread-in-six-states-more-to-follow/

A lot of great deals out there if you're hungry! https://www.azfamily.com/news/continuing_coverage/coronavirus_coverage/phoenix-area-restaurants-offer-deals-as-they-move-to-delivery/article_2a15502c-6890-11ea-be34-db41d326a21a.html

This might become the longest thread in CWT.com history.

I’m not a doctor or a scientist, so take this for what it’s worth. Using the word “projected” or “potential” without qualifying the statement is just making people panic. Many are taking that number as gospel. I could “potentially” win the Powerball tonight. Does it mean 100% I’m going to be the next millionaire? No. Could it happen? Maybe, maybe not. Thats why many of us have a more tempered opinion when the “potential” death toll is discussed. True story: I’m a first generation American. Both my mom and dad were young kids in Europe during WWII. They endured great hardship during and after the war. During the Nazi occupation of Greece, Axis powers plundered both Athens and the small villages my parents lived it. My father would tell me stories(hundreds) as a young boy how he captured song birds and sparrows every couple of days, just so they could have some protein. From 1941-1944(Great Famine) many starved or died of sickness. Estimates of 500,000+. Thankfully the Allied forces ended the blockade and supplies were sent in. Obviously my parents survived. I can’t imagine that the greatest country in the world in regards to doctors, health care, sanitary, unlimited medicines, education, food supply, transportation, innovation and resolve would allow 2-10 million of its citizens to die. Call me an ostrich with it’s head in the sand, but I don’t buy it. I guess I have a different perspective and a little more faith in the US. The United States today is in a much better situation. I’m gonna stay positive and feel confident we’ll get through this without the insane fatality numbers being thrown out. If I’m wrong and not dead, I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong.

oh yay! a liberal troll!.

Forecasting up to a foot of snow on the Rim. That oughta’ close out the winter and fill up Roosevelt!

All those “honey-do’s” will get done now, right? Lol 😎
