I want to add something about the early good news coming out of Minneapolis (see post above). While the early test results are encouraging, it's important to note that the infection curve is exponential. While the incubation period us up to two weeks, it takes additional time for the virus to...

We've learned a lot more than that, Turtle, and you know it. The coronavirus is a real thing that affects expediters and all other businesses of all types. Every one of us has to operate in a world in which the coronavirus is now a front-and-center feature. We're all learning as we go, obtaining...

I have come to put little stock in COVID-19 projections as they are often wide of the mark. Early on, hundreds of thousands of deaths were forecast for Florida. We've had deaths but not anywhere close to those numbers. No shortage of hospital beds, ICU beds or ventilators developed. So when the...

How do you know that? What indicator(s)?

One event does not a trend make, but the 6/20/20 Trump rally in Tulsa presents some interesting numbers; the likes of which have never been seen at Trump rallies, which are usually, if not always, filled to overflowing with enthusiastic Trump supporters. While numerous explanations are offered...

Interested to know what has changed since this article was first published.

The FL governor closed all gyms on 3/20. On 4/1, he issued his "Safer At Home" order which restricts everyone to staying at home for 30 days. There are exceptions for essential activities and services. The list is quite broad (healthcare workers, first res ponders, financial services people...

That is correct. By order of the governor, our gym was closed Friday afternoon. On Saturday, normally a busy shopping day, our strip mall parking lot was empty. While many of our neighboring businesses were not required to close, most did, because nobody was coming.

As former expediters, now retail business owners (gym), Diane and I are looking to EO to get a better sense of the true state of things. We realize we're in the midst of rapidly developing and rapidly changing pandemic situation. Still, the state of freight has always been a good economic...

Shortly after Trump was inaugurated, I predicted -- correctly -- that he would be impeached. I also predicted -- incorrectly -- that he would be convicted by the Republicans who had the power to remove him for office. With the benefit of hindsight, I misjudged the Republicans, I believed --...

When Diane and I were on the road, it was sooooo easy to sit in the sleeper instead of getting out to exercise, even when we were parked in an Anytime Fitness gym parking lot! We also found that once you get moving, it's easy to keep moving. The challenge is to overcome the inertia that keeps...

Donald Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 18, 2019, for high crimes and misdemeanors; specifically, abuse of power and obstruction of congress. The actual Articles of Impeachment can be viewed here.

That's true. But political conversations often involve complex matters. Oversimplifying the complicated can be as counterproductive as complicating the simple.

Not much of a response.

This is the first time I have posted in this thread and one of the very few times I have even glimpsed at it. I'm entering today to express my understanding of why some people of conservative views feel unfairly treated by what they regard as the "liberal media." Yesterday, news broke of the...

Another way to get the gist of the impeachment inquiry report is to read the section headings. They are: I. The President's Misconduct: The President Conditioned a White House Meeting and Military Aid to Ukraine on a Public Announcement of Investigations Beneficial to his Reelection Campaign...

The U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released it's report yesterday. I'm including a link to the report here for future reference. The Trump-Ukrain Impeachment Inquiry Report While the report is long and detailed, you can click this link to read the...

Agreed. The dynamic you describe exists in all large organizations. Note also that whistleblower laws and training of people to refuse illegal orders, and the ability of one branch of government to investigate and/or provide oversight of the other exist to keep the powerful people honest and...
