When it really happens: SHTF...

Now we here in this state that tested the least in Australia 1.3% in W.A that they are not going to use the $200 Million worth of kits brought by Twiggy Forrest as our state govt said they have enough what a effing shamozzle typical govt.

Also today 5 months down the track the fire ravaged towns that saw millions $'s donated are not seeing much of it nor any input from the Govt they have been left to dry some have already gone the deep six with being unable to cope but the govt may pick up as there is an election in one of the fire ravaged regions there.
All the millions donated and where has it gone I hate and really detest some of these acts we see happening to our great people that suffered badly you cannot eat rocks nor chew on dirt and live without the country folk growing what we eat and wear your a done duck, and dont bang on about industry making it possible.
They the farmers of the day were tilling soils with horses & oxen and harvesting and threshing the grains by hand long before the industrial revolution.

One of my shooting mates, a Colonel in the Army, today sent me a message that is worrying me a bit...
I send him an article of a very smart Italian historian and intellectual, who writes that the situation is at the limit, that people are upset, scared and angry, and that there are signs that things might go south quickly if the government keeps being so grossly incompetent.
His words are: If you see them raising our pay, start worrying.
I must call him this evening and ask him if he was joking or not...

If the experts are correct a major Flu epidemic is not far behind!!
Stay Safe and keep distancing as part of normal life.

Because we've been isolated and our personal defenses are low now.

Jim,
I think thats probably right. But unless Marilyn Monroe comes along I don't intend cuddling ANYBODY as close as I used to anymore. I used to shake hands and I always thought I was a roughy toughy, but when I see the amount of guys go into toilets and not wash their hands afterwards, that can go to in future
Perhaps not the best time to answer emails and PM's after 5 good bottles of English Cider in a lovely sunny garden at 8.8%

What, not even if you had one of these at your disposal?

The governor's threats have had an impact. Most of the counties that threatened to revolt have backed down. My county, Lancaster has not although the sole Democrat commissioner has abandoned the decision, not surprising. The Governor has vowed to move the State Police around as needed to enforce his shutdown. It's a pointless exercise because anyone the police charge is going to be immediately excused by the DA. All it accomplishes is a showdown between the police that don't want to enforce this and the people who respect the police the most. These two groups are nearly always on the same side. Law abiding, hard working people and the police. This isn't a battle between leftist liberals and the pinko cops. So I don't think the State Police are going to be doing much other than talking with people and giving them warnings. What makes my county different from most of the others is we are big. We get Federal funding straight from the Federal government. The Governor has no say in the matter nor any control over it. The other counties don't have the population we do. We are not huge like Philly but we just meet the Federal guidelines for this type of treatment. I've stopped watching the daily briefings. I simply do not care anymore. They screwed the pooch on this one and theirs no going back. Supposed to be a big rally in the capital tomorrow. I considered going for the first time ever but I am going to work instead while I still can. He won't be there to listen anyway. Probably be hiding in his basement. The President visited today and offered his support to the rebellious counties. That had to gall the governor. What I would have liked him to say is that Pennsylvania will no longer get any Federal aid as long as this tyrant continues to act without the authority of the legislature. Pretty sure these events now have his attention at least.

All this pushing and shoving and people don't realize people are working in increasing numbers every day. Traffic is almost back to normal. The only things that are still closed are the malls and dine in restaurants and the small businesses. The big ones, and the chain stores and restaurants never really stopped at all, coming up with some way to be "essential" One store actually started stocking and selling bottled water just so they could remain open. Where there is a will, there is a way. It's just the little guy getting screwed over and they won't be able to survive.

Stay strong. It may get worse before it gets better. I have never been a protester (left that for the ballot box)but I am feeling the urge. 27 R s voted to continue warrantless searches of citizens internet history. Brave new world.

300,000 dead and counting this is what we know there are probably just as many in countries fudging their figures, Singapore, China (Wuhan again) and in Korea they have found out letting people out to early your gunna get a second dose this virus and it is a worrying thing.
Our state govt has partialy lifted regional travel so the suckers locked up in Perth can now invade the South West and they will we have a long weekend in a fortnight and I am not looking forward to the invasion, stupid idiot Perth drivers who don't know our roads and are always hurrying along running off them killing themselves.
Because they think they can drive for hours at 110Kph for hours on end and not get fatigued or caught out on a sharp bend.
That and poor perception on when to over take as its a quantum leap from 50Kph to 110Kph but they never listen and frankly they can stay where they are they are rude push you out the way don't say hello and think their crup don't stink well hate to tell ya all it does stink.

So we are on the cusp of escapers and the flu season I cannot get to the Dr's for my flu shot yet and I am worried these dullheads from Perth will not obey social distancing and cause us grief infact I may just end up watching 617 squadron or The Boat over that w/end as riding my bikes could be fraught with Danger...................
