The BBS got moved to my late Mom's computer...but we've had DS> practically nonstop storms here this spring. Welcome back... and hope it sticks this time... :) I note that this one is dated 31 May, along with a bunch more, and then gradually there are current messages... I'll be answering only a few at a time, probably... :) NB>> Crazy weather all over, for sure.... :) DS> Some models are hinting at the remnants of a tropical system DS> affecting the area next week. Yup, and Cristobal is spreading some remnants up here at the moment... we got extreme heat today, and there's some chance of showers and T-storms overnight tonight... and tomorrow is supposed to be MUCH cooler... from 93 today to only 76 or so for a high tomorrow.... ;) NB>> So far there's still not been any decision about staying closed for NB>> the rest of the year... but I suspect that they will be...

Well, schools and colleges did close for the rest of the school year, and now there's discussion about reopening or not in the fall... A lot of stuff is still closed here, too, although we are slowly getting some things reopened.... DS> I haven't square danced since mid-March...but with hernia surgery DS> next week, it'll be July before I can even think of dancing again. By then, maybe things will be happening again... social distancing might make square dancing a little weird, too...

It's NB>> more just encouraging the 6' away from each other and otherwise NB>> maintaining distance from anyone... I'm not seeing so much of the NB>> stores being a place for gathering, but then it is being actively NB>> discouraged... DS> Several of the local malls were closed for quite awhile, but DS> recently reopened. However, I avoid the malls like the plague, anyway. So do I... so I've not even really been paying attention to whether they were open or closed.... NB>> Masks are now required at our Wegmans... but not gloves... DS> Masks will be required when I start doing ham radio license exam DS> sessions again, and while I'll provide gloves to the examiners, the DS> examinees will have to bring their own gloves. I figure that gloves are more a choice item, whether or not to use... NB>> There's plenty of news... but one can certainly use a little bit of NB>> humor amongst it all... DS> Too little to laugh at nowadays. Just have to look harder, I guess.... ;) DS> I couldn't believe the bizarre story last week, where a woman in the DS> Ukraine was denied access into a Post Office, because she didn't have DS> a mask on. So, she took off her pants, then her panties, and used the DS> panties as a mask (I'm not making that up).

At least she was resourceful... ;) Guess she was able to hook the panties around her ears and keep them on that way... ;) She might have used her bra similarly, too... (G) ttyl neb ....
