Burgers were most delicious last night, and I imagine that will be my lunch as well, if the kids don't eat them first.

Katadyn drip filter. The gravidyn model uses charcoal for removing bad taste, inside the ceramic filters. They make really good tasting safe drinking water. They are rated for 6 months continuous use or, pretty much forever and ever, if the filters are cleaned and dried thoroughly in between uses.

They aren't giving them away, but they work great. In the desert southwest sometimes the only practical water source are sketchy looking water pockets or tanks tinaja filled with rainwater or sometimes cattle stock tanks. A Katadyn will take muddy or green silt laden water and turn it crystal clear.

Still crazy, but honestly, not quite as crazy as I anticipated by this point.

Yeah, but I am sure I was distracted when the door opened, so I am still waiting.

It was probably me on the other side-- "Come on in- sit a spell-- enjoy the ride-- We don't need seatbelts!"

About 90% of people here are continuing on as per normal, the other 10% are radicalized psychopaths.

Most people are carrying on here, and some are using a mask, some (even fewer) are using gloves. I went to Menard's to pick up house repairs and supplies twice over the weekend, Saturday was packed and 1/2 of the people were wearing masks, Sunday must have been about as busy, but there were less masks. I probably looked like I was going to rob the place when I came in, but I didn't want to be "That guy"
