Covid-19 lockdown check-in

I want to hug my parents. See people in the flesh...

Yes, also that. A lot.

As soon as some restrictions are lifted, I'm biking all the way to the beach.

Besides all the hugging and the like, of course.

I gave my youngest a "radio" - a once popular but now obscure device designed to receive broadcasted "radio" signals over the air.

Kept him occupied for the last couple days.

Funniest part was explaining why there is so much hissing noise.  He assumed it was broken.

As a kid I tried finding channels from farther away on the lower bands. With the right weather I might occasionally pick up Dutch or Danish stations, with much static.

It was easier to get AFN from Bremerhaven, and (at least in the 80s) BFBS.

Mid-90s, dating a girl who lived on Winnipeg's north side - I lived on the south side, so it was a long-ish drive back and forth.

Late at night, after dropping her off at her parents place, I'd love to surf the AM channels to see what I could pick up.  I could reliably pick up a Chicago all-news station, but sometimes you could get even further away.  I think the furthest I found was a Kentucky or Tennesse station.

Get a grip people, except for Sheilbh it's been two weeks at most. For crying out loud.

And I want less human interaction, but I have to keep working here...

This is the beginning of Week 6 for me. I was home with a "flu" March 2, at work for a few days after that, then this is my fourth week at home.

Welcome, fellow shut-in

I had the date wrong. March 2, so not as long as you. But still not "two weeks".

All of you people talking about how hard it is to isolate and remain safe.

I am in charge of 4 people dealing with the mail who have to show up, sort mail (admittedly that has been waiting 24 hours), have multiple people come to the warehouse to pick it up each day, and basically run increased risk in all facets of what we do.  So I come in each day, I can't not and let the guys do it, knowing that I am increasing the likelihood that I will get this with a compromised system from too many bouts of bronchitis in the past.

Shut the hell up.

We're entering the forth week here.
