We have 2 cherished cast iron pans. I keep them polished smooth and oiled,just as good as any non stick pans and they last . the ones we have are over 25 years old.
Pretty well sums up what's going on in Idaho. Everyone's still acting like it's business as usual except without bars or restaurants. Bored folks shuffling around grocery stores not even needing anything. I'm sure all that will change as things worsen.IMO it got serious quite a while ago. It was simply that in certain quarters either the seriousness was underestimated/misunderstood, or just basically downplayed, as in "it can't happen to us".
Maybe when the US death toll passes six figures (as forecast) they might sit up and take notice.....or then again maybe not.Pretty well sums up what's going on in Idaho.

Some sliced bologna, fried with onions, and last nights potatoes, and a couple slices of home made bread with butter and molasses.
Gotta keep that iron up in the blood, and I don't want to be carrying germs to my poor old mother to make me some molasses cookies...AND molasses!
Yum

Rained here today, but there's about 3 feet of snow to go before I can even think about rakin the lawn before mowing it.Damned windy, here, today, 30+ mph, 60ºF mowed 1 lawn, fer about an hour, had enough of bein outside, so set in the office, and watched TV, and shivered(electric heater went out, and I'm damned if I'm gonna buy anudder, afore fall!) Also fixed a truck toolbox, that I had got fer $10 at an auction, last fall. Its on the little mower trailer, was missing the watchamacallits, that keep the lid open, when ya opens it. Didn't have the snap in ones, but I made bolt in ones do, as I have had like 4 of 'em layin around, fer years!
I was reading through an old physics text book. Not to many books here but that Physics book, the bible, and a couple old phone books. Oh I guess a couple Ferguson tractor manuals, and a bunch of preteen books of my daughters. Been reading on line about the spanish flu. Started looking for info on the spanish navy, but got side tracked, you know how it goes.More than likely not. Right now is a good time for people to improve their reading skills and collect some knowledge by reading a book, Oh damn I forgot no one buy's books anymore
or cares about history and the like. I guess that was just a silly idea.
Starting to get really stir crazy. I have an 18 year old bottle of Highland Park in the basement that my sister brought me home from the Orkney Islands about ten years ago. Thinking about having a drink.
I used to read a lot of Tom Clancy stuff. Read about One ping only before I saw it in the theaters. A buddy of mine did a poli sci degree. He did a major paper on the Oliver North trials. I read a couple books he had on US foreign policy. I don't know about taking a dump, but it was great reading to put you to sleep. One of our truck drivers. Every time he was parked, I thought he was sleeping. Head down. One day I delivered a load of sand with his truck. Milk crate full of books, guess he was always reading. Was reading a lot of Pippy Long Stocking, and Judy Blume books to my daughter, but she's in the 3rd grade now and doesn't need daddy to read for her anymore.The Spanish Flu started in Wichita, IIRC.----And if you don't have any books, get in your cupboards and read the labels on the cereal boxes and canned goods. No different than reading the
newspaper or ingredients in your shave cream while setting taking a dump.
