    Line in the sand

    I think with COVID-19 it is eventually going to work out that 60-65% are asymptomatic. Of the remaining 40% about half end up in the hospital and roughly 17% develop ARDS. I see different numbers for ventilators depending where you look. The worst published report is 30 out of 31 died. For...

    Life After Corona

    Home gardens will make a big come back. I have received notes from seed companies that they are over capacity with calls. This happened in 2008-09 as well, which had less impact than this is having in my opinion.

    What was your happiest moment today?

    I always cook my fresh caught trout in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. Thankfully the brook trout I catch are usually less than 12 inches. I roll them in cornmeal then add salt and pepper, cook to a dark brown. Perfect for breakfast or dinner.

    Anyone ever consider if ER is worth it?

    What are your goals? My dad always told us his goals for my mother and he for their retirement. Dad always said work hard and save when you're young as you have time for your money to grow over time and you have boundless energy when younger. He always gave examples of others that didn't save or...
