Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, our staffing is stretched so thin they can't send anyone home on principal. They just tell them to mask up and make their lives more unpleasant than they need to be.

OT topic today:

Last couple of weeks we've had amazing weather. So we've gone hiking. Today down around Berea, KY. We had a wicked good time, but the hike was a little more rigorous than last week.

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's workout on the elliptical.

I expect some nutbag US District Court will issue an injunction staying enforcement. Perhaps because of all the wailing from the Fox Crowd, who make money on wailing. This means the mandate encourages commercial wailing! (Er, whaling).

As this is the open thread, here's an item overheard at the grocery store this afternoon: "No, honey, those are GIRL flavors, you won't like them". Can someone clue me in as to what qualifies as girl or boy flavors? I'm stumped and scared I've been eating the wrong kind my whole life.

How’s about in that case they make a federal law that any person can sue someone who doesn’t get a vaccine, or anyone else in their household, for $10,000?
