    Have a hiking trip booked for the Teton Crest Trail (GTNP) at the end of August. We’re still all planning on going but I don’t have anything else between now and then.

    Awesome.  Tetons are phenomenal and that trail is definitely on my list.

    I believe I’ve done that hike. We took a detour around “The Wall” and camped out at Kit Lake. The spot provided amazing views down Avalanche Canton.

    We just canceled Jackson Hole for middle of June.

    Any particular reason over another as to why? Not wanting to fly, parks possible still closed, restaurants, etc?

    I am about 98% for sure going in June. Even if I do nothing it will be worthwhile to be out of the humidity.

    Additional cliffs:  the lab was working on bat corona viruses and how they infect humans.

    The video did mention the labs lead researcher Shi Zhengli "bat woman" has been doing gain of function experiments with corona viruses and the s protein.  They probably should have mentioned that the bat woman has published papers on a virus she found in 2013 that was highly pathogenic and couldn't be controlled by SARS treatments   So what to do with all this?  Let's take the parts of this one virus that is highly infectious and combine it with this other one that is deadly.   

    Using the SARS-CoV reverse genetics system2, we generated and characterized a chimeric virus expressing the spike of bat coronavirus SHC014 in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone.

    They were studying bat corona viruses, and they were recombining bat corona viruses to make new bat corona viruses that specifically infect humans.  At ground zero for the outbreak.

    but there is no way this thing came from the lab, and we know this because scientists who were involved with these experiments and similar types of grant funded work told us it can't have happened.    Thats like Phillip Morris and Reynolds determining that it is air pollution and not their cigarettes that cause smokers to get lung cancer.

  4. @tx 3 putt I agree with the first part. I left my office bare. Coworkers always made comments but it made things a lot easier once I was given the boot. 
     

    Second part for me didn’t hold. I left and never looked back. Every year I feel better about the decision. I won’t lie; I do miss it somehow. 
     

    I hate to see that at Halliburton office. Family friend was furloughed. He had been with company 25 something years. Worked in global supply chain I think so he managed to stay essential for a long time.

    kills thousands of people every year and destroys millions of lives.  but sure, laugh it up, guy. 

    tell the guy whose FB feed it came from. It’s a dumb post that gets a chuckle and a head shake. No one likes seeing lives destroyed.

    Son was just cited for walking his dog in a san marcos park that was closed. He lives on the park so it is an extenision of his back yard. River access, etc. no booze, weed or GF in a bikini. He calls me and I ask to speak to the officer. Told him good on you. Cite the little dude and let me know how I can buy you a beer. 

    Recon last night. Very few places were open. Recon today. Only the farmers market. 

    Looks like the businesses we are locking down.

     

    Seems like it would be safer for everyone if the officer kept his distance and did not cite anyone.

    NASA astronauts Bob Behknen (left) and Doug Hurley will be the first to fly on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft during the Demo-2 mission. It could launch in Spring 2020. Here, they walk through the access arm in a dress rehearsal for launch during SpaceX in-flight abort preparations.

    Those space suits....

    Not going to lie, we have been cooped up for almost two months, have plenty of camping gear, the temptation to head out to Florida and watch this in person is mighty tempting. My 7 year-old would remember this.  Don’t have to be near anybody since we could bring all of our food with us, etc.

    It’s not a bad idea. I am currently planning to be flying around the peninsula during launch.
