Still doing good in WNC,we have a stay at home-Stay safe order,no panic buying,stores are well stocked except TP and sanitizing stuff,although it could be had time to time.Only 22 cases in my county,maybe we are flattening the curve.I am retired,so emplyment not a problem,we are homebodies so not doing terribly not going out much just groceries,restaurant take out,and walking.In another 28 days,well who knows.Had a vacation planned mid May,probably not gonna happen.

You obviously have never seen Seattlites and their coffee consumption. Blood drives don't group blood by types but by caffeine levels. You got Americano, macchiato, cappuccino and the rarest blood type of all, triple shot caramel grande latte half soy half oatmilk with just a pinch of cocoa.



But... but... what do tea-drinkers like me do for transfusions in Seattle? We're DOOMED!!!!

Asking for a cup of tea with a British accent would probably get you carried out of town on a rail wearing a fancy costume made of tar and feathers ...

Personally I'm fine. My main concern is my elderly dad but other than that I'm enjoying the time off work. Actually its made very little difference in my daily routine, which I suppose is a bit sad (note to self; when this is all over get out more).

As far as modelling it would be great but I can't do any airbrushing because I don't have a mask. I threw out my old one because I lost all confidence in it. I had two projects near completion and just did as much as I could. Now I'm kinda stuck. I can't even do some busy work on the Sherman that's on the top of my stash and I'd barely started because I don't have any extra thin cement.

So modelling just ground to a halt, which is frustrating.

Hope you fellas are safe.

California checking in here. We are on our 21st day of 'shelter in place' In Santa Cruz County (just south of the bay Area) we have 69 cases and one death. The death was a man who worked in San Jose where the virus is rampant. We had shortages on toilet paper and chicken but things are evening out and you can find those items if you shop early. Stores are only allowing 10-15 people in at a time and of course we have 'social distancing' As of last Friday it is now mandatory to wear a mask when out in public. Oh, and you can only be out for specific reasons ie; necessity shopping, Dr. appointments, etc. Here, all the state and county parks have been closed and parking areas roped off -you can get a citation or in worst case arrested if you go hiking or biking in a park. Most everything is closed except take out restaurants, grocery stores, marijuana dispensaries (yes-in cali I guess marijuana is considered essential) and auto repair shops (?) Schools have been shut down since March 6 and will remain closed for the rest of the school year.
My wife and I have gone through all the shelves and cupboards and cleaned/reorganized/dumped. It's amazing what you can accumulate over 35 years in the same house.
I am hoping this ends soon but not holding my breath. I am very thankful that I don't live in a large metropolitan area as we have less crazies here in the mountains.
Well, wishing you all the best.........
Cheers
C.

If you are looking for a good cup of tea in the U.S. you are on the wrong continent dude. I discovered brit tea while stationed in Berlin and working with the Brits on T-berg. Every day, except Sunday, the NAFFI gut truck would arrive loaded with all kinds of goodness. Brotchens stuffed with all kinds of stuffings, eggs, cheese (so gooey and cheesy and slightly oniony), liverwurst, ham, fresh pastries and several urns of british tea. Creamy, sweet and strong. Haven't found its equal since I came back in 89.
