Going to Menards

-
So I didn't post anything last Friday because I had to be an adult. I have a bedroom I need to reinsulate amd sheetrock. I am a semi responsible adult that knows that the rona is a real thing so I looked into ways to get what I needed without unnecessary exposure to myself or others. Menards online order seemed like just the thing. You can go to the website, order, pay, and pick it up. It was a new feature they started to help with the rona. So, Thursday night the lovely better half and myself went online and placed our order. Since I'm apparently an idiot, I thought this meant I could make the 45 minute drive to Menards, grab my stuff, and drive in about two hours. I am dumb. It didn't work like that. The first inkling I was in trouble happened Friday morning. I received an email to let me know that one of my items was out of stock. Not a huge deal, I could get it locally. Next, we drive to Menards. Parking lot is a shit show. I am kinda surprised but at least I dont have to into the store and walk around all these people. Wrong. We go to customer service to get the order and find out the online order pick up is as physically far away from the front door as it can be and still be in the store. You have to walk through the entire store to get your order. It completely defeated the whole reason to order online in the first place. Not only that but everyone else was trying to be smart and doing the online order. So instead of a quick in and out we stand in line for half an hour with thirty of our new friends while employees in masks pull down their masks to talk anytime they within 6 feet of you. My brain exploded a little bit watching that happen. Full disclosure, I was one of the idiots without a mask because I wasn't planning on walking around the store. I got taken in by the coronavirus safe online pick up option. I got fooled. This whole pandemic has been one giant clusterfuck of oxymoronic behavior. I quit. Someone hit the reset button on 2020 and let's take a mulligan. In closing I have a joke submitted by the aforementioned lovely better half.

How long does it take to get from Louisiana to Alabama?

$1200 for 10 weeks

I think the entire package provides economic relief overall for about 10 weeks," Mnuchin told CBS's "Face the Nation." "Hopefully we will kill this virus quicker and we won't need it, but we have liquidity to put into the American economy to support American workers and American business." So, ol' Steve is getting murdered online for this quote. Secretary Mnuchin say $1200 dollars will last 10 weeks. This is popping up all over twitter, facebook, and my news feed. Wake the fuck up people. He isn't referring to the stimulus check. He is referring to the 2.2 trillion (best guess because the people who wrote it don't know the price tag) package. The whole fucking thing. The one where you are a guaranteed to qualify for unemployment if you lost your job due to coronavirus. The one that gives small business loans. The one that gives any waitress making $300 a week roughly $800 a week in unemployment benefits. This is why the news sucks. CNN, MSNB

The 61 year old potato farmer that stunned the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and hear the story of  Cliff Young . He has seemed to enter the realm of half myth, half truth that surrounds all greats but his story is remarkable. Full disclosure: I got this story from a guest pastor at church Sunday. Here we go.  In 1983, people were gathered for the Australia ultra marathon. A 543 mile race from Sydney to Melbourne. Most competitors were in their twenties or thirties and had extensive training and corporate sponserships. Into this group walked a 61 year old man wearing faded overalls and rubber work boots. His name was Cliff Young. He was a sheep and potato farmer from just outside Melbourne. Most considered him a joke at best, delusional at worst. Several journalists questioned if he would survive. This is where the myth/truth comes into play. Some accounts have him running in overalls. Others say he wore windbreakers with holes cut by hand for ventilation. One account claims he wore 10 pairs of running shoes throughout the race. W

B1G has cancelled football.

 The B1G and PAC 12 have cancelled fall sports.  Here  is the B1G official statement. I have been thinking about this and getting steadily more upset ever since 1:45 PM. This is horrible. I have avoided really shitting on the COVID-19 media coverage too much because I didn't want to deal with the trolling and "yOu THinK cOroNavIruS iS faKe IF yOu qUEstioN anYthIng!" crowd. I am done. Bring on the trolls. This decision has nothing to do with the coronavirus. The B1G, as a whole, is not concerned about player safety per coronavirus. Nothing has changed in the overall COVID-19 numbers between when they announced the season schedule and when they cancelled. The schedule was announced August 5. Per the  CDC report release July 31  hospitalization rate was 130.1 per 100,000 and mortality rate was 8.4% if you include pneumonia, influenza, and COVID-19 deaths. The  report released August 7   has hospitalization at 137.6 per 100,000 and mortality rate at 7.8% if you include pneumo
