Dear Pilgrim, Cool your jets. I'm sure that sheltering in place has clouded your reasoning and judgement when reading and responding to posts in this topic. It's a difficult time for all of us. Time for you to take a chill pill, a solitary walk outdoors, and a long nap. Your stress level is showing and lashing out at me after misunderstanding the intent of my post serves no good purpose. Since you missed the point of my post. Allow me to elucidate. I was not referring to only domestic household pets and farm animals. Feral squirrels, rabbits, foxes, deer, cats, ducks, rats, raccoons and more will not be dropping by their neighborhood vet clinic for a dose of vaccine. If animals can be virus carriers, global virus eradication will not be easily accomplished. Now, relax, watch a good movie like Contagion, I am Legend, 28 Days Later, or 12 Monkeys. Please respond to me off forum if you want to continue this discussion. Your Friend, Dennis

The cause for concern is that if Coronavirus is cross-species, containing it just became fairly impossible. Dennis

Mask up! Effective today, Riverside County California made mask use mandatory for everyone outside their home - no exceptions. Not sure how it will be enforced, but I'm sure a lot of people are cutting up towels, t-shirts, and pillow cases to make masks like those shown above. I made mine last week with new, clean, shop rags and a hot glue gun. Not enjoying the New Normal. Dennis

How to be first in line when you hear that the price of a gallon of gas just dropped below $1.00. Dennis VID-20190618-WA00291.mp4

He probably could have gone about it differently - like having crew members notify their congress representatives or the IG. That might have been covered and protected under the "Military Whistleblower Act. I'm sure he felt he was doing it for the greater good. As a retired Air Force officer, I saw a few similar instances during my active duty years. His superiors view what he did as making a bad decision and you can't have someone who makes bad decisions in charge of an aircraft carrier. To his credit, he can say, "Mission accomplished". Dennis

Will the price be the same for all plate finish choices? I'd suggest limiting finish choice to one or two to better manage inventory costs. Shipping cost (postage + package material + your time to stand in line at post office) built into price or extra? Have you checked domestic & foreign shipping fees? Knowing the production cost per piece would make it easier to price the finished product.

Good story, but the actors seem a little stilted. ? Dennis

Raymond Loewy designed 1955 Jaguar XK 140. Body by Boano. I have another of his classics parked in my garage, a 1963 Studebaker Avanti R2. You can see some aspects of this car (rear fenders and glass) in the Avanti design. Loewy did some interesting car designs over the years. Check this link for more on this car and others: https://tinyurl.com/rcpmq3b Loewy and I exchanged letters back in the days before email when people actually wrote letters on paper to each other. Loewy's letters were handwritten, not typed. I treasure them. Dennis

Locally, 59 identified Coronavirus cases, seven deaths, National Guard set up a Field Hospital in the nearby County Fairground. I'm sheltered in place, rationing toilet paper, and binge watching Tiger King on Netflix. I'm looking forward to waking up from this bad dream. Dennis

A good "Fact Check" site is Snopes.com. Here's what they have to say about the quote. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-quote-about-jesus/ Dennis

Let's try this one........ The next time you're in Osaka, after a day of looking for rare Z parts, stop by here:

My bad, inappropriate post deleted.

Sounds like the opening line in a Stephen King book. Dennis

Unfortunately, when this thing blows over, the virus will still be around. In my local community, 16 cases and four deaths - that's more than all of Los Angeles County in just the small area where I live. The dead were all over 70 years old with pre-existing health conditions. I started sheltering in place a week ago. Let's hope there's a vaccine before the NEXT Coronavirus season. Dennis

The entire state of California is now on "Shelter in Place" status by order of the governor. He says that it's unlikely that schools will be reopened this school year. Stores are closed, streets are almost empty, and hoarding mentality abounds. Life imitates art and this is becoming every bad alien virus, zombie apocalypse, government experiment gone bad movie from the last 50 years. Can't wait to see how it ends. Dennis

The city's mandated "Shelter in Place" directive was feeling a little restrictive this afternoon, so I went for a drive to see what was happening around town. I live in a tourist town that doubles in population this time of year. All bars were closed, a few restaurants had signs offering take-out food, street parking downtown was virtually empty because all the stores are closed, the casino was closed, and a few Urban Bedouins were hunkered down with their shopping carts on downtown sidewalks. Marijuana shops, grocery stores and gas stations appeared to be the only essential stores allowed to remain open . Welcome to the New Normal. Shelter in Place lasts until April 3rd. Dennis

How can you tell if a government spokesperson is lying to you? You see his/her lips moving. Dennis

No sense in wasting hard to get test kits unless there are known symptoms. Triage.

Note to self: A quote you'll never see on an STD poster. Dennis

Coronavirus update from the SoCal Desert......... Locally, 13 identified cases, Three Coronavirus deaths as a result. Schools closed until April 30th. Palm Springs begins "Shelter in Place" tomorrow morning until April 3rd. Only essential services open. If anyone needs me, I'll be behind locked doors for the next couple weeks. Send toilet paper. Dennis

At a reasonable $100 an hour......only $4,000 per washer. Any price break if I buy a pack of six? ?

Man-hours per piece? Dennis

Time to start cutting newspaper pages into strips the width of a toilet paper roll. Sorry, just trying to lighten this discussion up a bit. Dennis
