From what I understand, there are very few dispensaries within reasonable driving distance for most upstate rural and low density populations. Also...It's boggled my mind that the FDA can approve pharmaceutical companies to develop trials, but the DEA still lists it as Schedule 1 narcotic ("no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse"). Which is yet another reason why I think so many federal bureaucracies are counter-productive and need to be scaled back (or eliminated). The un-elected "expert authorities" in one alphabet agency determines what is or isn't acceptable medical use....while the un-elected authorities some other alphabet agency make a completely opposite determination. Can't win, and we're funding both circus acts.

All Time

Are we there yet?

In New York state, they are performing over 100, 000 tests every day. As far as I've seen.....their results say that "SARS-CoV-2 RNA" was either present in the specimen or not detected in the specimen. I'm curious why and how this guy's sample was tested for specific strain.

Sounds like the Marxist Sandinistas that Mayor deBlasio (born Warren Wilhelm Jr) spent time in Nicaragua following back in the 1980s. I guess he still doesn't see a problem with that concept.

I won't be surprised if he unveils some compromise (opening indoor dining with some new guideline attached like 25% capacity, max 1 per table, logbook with required ID etc) during one of his Emmy performances. And that he revises history by pretending the new revelations were entirely voluntary and based on "his" esteemed research and dedication to New Yorkers.

I don't know how to get people to isolate any more than they have over the last nine months. And quite honestly, I doubt that expecting complete withdrawal from all "social interaction" is healthy or even possible. Since we are, for the most part, social creatures…it sort of goes against human nature. I think we may have reached (several months ago) the point where the critical mass/bulk of the population found their maximum tolerable “isolation” level. Aside form the outliers who are drawn to a hermit life anyway. At this point, it seems like more closures are only preventing the “dispersal” of those who are insistent on shopping, dining or socializing. People with that compulsion are just piling up at the doors of chain restaurants and big boxes, or inviting friends into their homes. If you want to see fewer people at Applebee's and Chili’s or hosting little gatherings in close quartered homes? Then open up Nick’s and the Moose and every restaurant in the state so they can spread out.

This is hilarious! And all 100% true……🤣 Luckily I’m OK with suspending disbelief for animated stories…especially Holiday Classics. All disbelief. From the fantastical premise that reindeers fly, talk and have organized sports with coaching staff…. to even winged lions and overnight obesity.

Gotta agree to disagree with that. The mount for our snowplow blade fell apart after last week's storm. The bolts and nuts needed to put that back together were essential. And unlike toilet paper that could be bought online...I needed a guy at the Fastenal store to compare and match the right sizes/parts. Playing guess and return then guess again with an online vendor would have a real hardship when we have vital medical appointment we need to get to.

I always assumed the published details involved some literary license.... "It was Christmas Day 1912 when they found him"...and then named him Friday after the day he was found. Except I believe Christmas fell on a Wednesday that year.... The Spirit of the Arctic League transcends the story that's retold every year

This sounds intriguing....Very intriguing. Would love to hear more! Did yours endeavor involve a lot of fertilizing and/or prepping bales? What product and where did you purchase? If you found organic bales for sale locally, please share your source!
