It looks like Navajo, Apache, and Pima counties have Covid patients that become much more ill and require more care, thus the need for transfer to Greater Phoenix area or even New Mexico. The rate of fatalities in Navajo and Apache counties is 3x the number of most other counties. Those 2...

But masks are mandated in Az and by that reasoning, if masks are the answer, then Az cases should not rise? TL/DR the summary is #flattenthefear Do everything you can to stay safe but get a POSITIVE outlook, this is not as bad as they told us it would be and we are going to be OK I really...

The YMCA closed again this past Tuesday after only being open for one month (Az). I am going to miss my summer water aerobics class. I stop walking/jogging when it first starts to get warm because of the rattlesnakes. I usually (carefully) start again in late October. I have some old Kathy...

I think one issue with tubing in Az is the bus shuttle service that transports the tubing public. The Ozarks party looked like it was mainly private boaters. Another issue is the amount of alcohol consumed makes Az tubing more like a floating bar. Lowered inhibitions, lack of social distancing...

First trip to local Costco (not a Costco biz Center) since March. I got everything on my list but they only let me buy one bag of frozen chicken. I saw that there were limit signs on other items also. I'm going to compare receipts between my regular Walmart curb service and today's Costco trip...

Baking brownies with dehydrated powdered eggs from the #10 size can we purchased in 2010, which must have been the year I started paying more attention to emergency pantry supplies :) Eggs were labeled for ten years, we opened in early March when we could NOT find fresh eggs here and we plan to...

The data becomes much more meaningful when you break it out by county and hospitalization for COVID disease only. The Navajo Nation has been hit hard and affects our total state numbers. It's a bit like pulling out the NYC numbers from the state of New York. We are also a state full to the brim...

Create a Lost and Found poster with your dog's pic and all your info, all his info, and a blank space for "last seen". Print a couple and put on a thumb drive if you need to print more in the middle of nowhere. Put this in a folder with a list of dog Temperature, Pulse, Respiration. Common...

We have reduced our holdings to LS Moderate, Wellesley, Wellington. We already had the W's and added the Life Strategy when it came out and discontinued new money into the W's. All happy here:)

Interesting thread! I recently subscribed to Ryan Holiday's blog/newsletter and he has an excellent (IMO) reading list

This is an excellent question! We have not spoken with anyone who has had the virus and we have not spoken with anyone who personally knows anyone who has had the virus. Admittedly a small sample group. Our reality does not compute with what is on the news. We are being careful and cautious but...

Ate in at a locally owned sports bar/sit down diner for lunch today. It was nice to see some of our friends and neighbors enjoying a meal out too!
