dudacek Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Beautiful early spring day here. Just got back from a 90 minute hike with the family unit out on some old logging roads. Crossed paths (at social distance) with two singles, one couple, and a young family of four. Edited March 29, 2020 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, before the cold front showed up, the sidewalks were the busiest I've seen them in the 17yrs we've been here. You can tell everyone is itching to get out of the house.

Doohicksie Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Still working (from home). We went to a 4x10 schedule with the first of the year so I have a three day weekend every week. I've been getting some rides in. 20 miles on my fixed gear this afternoon. The city is just really quiet. This is Main Street in downtown Fort Worth. Usually it's busy with traffic, even on a Sunday, but I went through a couple of turns of the light setting up and taking these pictures without a car to be seen.

shrader Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I was just hitting the point of needing a hair cut when the craziness started. Today I finally caved and ordered some hair clippers on amazon. I figure that if I’m going to badly botch an attempted hair cut, I should do it early and leave time to recover.

I booked a haircut as soon as the NYS ban was announced. I'm happy that I did, even though I have no one to look good for. Still, I FELT better. I worry that these shutdowns don't consider our psychological needs. And I don't meant haircuts. I mean, talking with people. Seeing people. When my most important social contact is the woman at the prescription counter at Rite-Aid, that's not good for anyone. It's the same as seeing the haircut person.

I mean, if she's attractive to me and I run into her somewhere else, maybe? But not while she is doing her job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My usual hair cut is always #3 on the sides and then they cut the top. So I'm just going to start with the 3 and see how that works out. I've only ever had a scissor cut on the top of my head, so this is uncharted territory. I'm hoping it works out well though, because it will eliminate my hair cutting budget. The wife can take that money instead for her $85,000 hair cuts. I tell you what though. As someone who has never bought one of these things, reading through the comments while trying to find a decent one? Not fun. It reminded me of that bit in one of the Austin Powers movie where they describe the appearance of Dr. Evil's rocket ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) So there's this one book I read many years ago, and I am re-reading it again on Kindle. Very profound, to say the least. The problem is that it was translated from 16th century French into English in 1689. While I'd like to say that I've read enough English from that epoch to know what it's saying, most people these days probably wouldn't know what was being said. Having said that, I'm trying to take a crack at modernizing the language without sacrificing the context so that people today may understand it better.
