    Well, yes...but my own Dr said yesterday there might be a problem with some dentist' offices reopening as they have VERY high overhead. They rent all their specialized equipment. I had no idea but it does make sense. I was just speaking at that moment about normal small business. Royal Bank of Canadaicon sent correspondence out to me yesterday about "You must have lots of questions"... Actually I don't even have one. They spoke of mortgage payment deference until three months later, credit card interest deferment, skip three payments...on and on. So I'm starting to think maybe it WILL be June before we get back to it.

    Went to the grocery store when it opened this AM to avoid people in general, nothing unusual for me...and they have done the one way isles there. I didn't notice and started up the wrong way with a woman a few yards away...her voice just about cracked and she spoke one line that should have taken about three sentences. All to effect my transgression...some of these people are SH!T scared yet she had no mask or gloves...

    I think we may just get through this spell that we're in but people have to relax, focus. Steady up... Thing is when we leave this protective posture, even if it's December we're still going to have this virus moving around. Then it'll pick up and run again and blind side these people that are just taking precautions because they have been threatened. I take disinfecting precautions and have been for years after grocery shopping...just stand back and look at the type of people that are touching your uncovered food, reaching into bulk with bare hands... It'll turn your stomach.
    Regards, Jim

    I recon that I must have had some sort of premonition of the UKicon lockdown being announced because I made an appointment with my dentist just in time for an extraction of a wisdom tooth. I should have had it pulled out last year but I've been putting it off and putting it off for months, putting up with the pain, and hoping that the tooth would put it's self right. Within about a week my dentist had closed it's doors due to the lockdown. The worst part of the visit was the bill.

    I noticed a piece on Sky News on Good Friday of what looked like to me as a Turkishicon Airforce Airbus A400M landing in the UK reportedly as carrying P.P.E. for the N.H.S.. Sky News described this aircraft, in their report, as a "Hercules" aircraft which it didn't look like to me.
