Is there a reason you people aren't getting out? Wife works from home, I’m retired. We’ve been staying at home for years.

There was a truck on the toll road near Austin that was cruising with his side mirrors folded in. Probably picked up at least 200 more ft per gallon.

Is there a reason you people aren't getting out? That's my question. I have not changed one thing since all this [censored] started. Neither have I, I was just wondering about all the hermit like behavior. Gotta live a little. No hermits here. Unless you consider the crabs.

Been laid up for a few weeks from Covid. Over it now but also work from home. Been so long not sure if my truck will even start. Glad you are better.

Starting Thursday my work commute goes from 13 miles each way to about 50 miles each way. I am looking forward to it.

Wife and I went to scheels and NFM today, plenty of people out and about, 100% mask wearing. I haven’t been driving my co car very much at all since March, zero travel and just a few local job sites

Is there a reason you people aren't getting out? That's my question. I have not changed one thing since all this [censored] started. Could be many reasons. Work from home, furloughed, not working, no routine dental or doctor visits, cant get a haircut, etc.. Retired, live in the country, stocked up prior to the rush. Haven't needed to go anywhere except about once every 5 or 6 weeks for milk and perishables. When you are 60+ with other health issues, it's not worth the risk to mingle in public with a bunch of morons that won't do simple measures to make the community safer.
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

Is there a reason you people aren't getting out? Working from home since the first of March. The boat storage is 2.2 miles from my driveway. The boat ramp is about halfway between the storage and the house. I've put more fuel in the boat than I have the commuter car by far. The family car has been used much more this past 6-8 weeks, but even then we've stayed fairly close by. It's an Armada that gets filled up about once every 10 days.
