    Yea its pretty nice down there. I haven't been since it went under new management. The caves aren't bad to go through. If you stay on interstate and cross into IL and go through Barry, that's bout 10 mins away.

    Nice... yeah we did the Mark Twain Cave tour. It was alot of fun and our kids enjoyed it quite a bit. I tried to make them all listen to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer on Audiobook as we drove down in the RV. The kids didn't pay much attention and then had questions about the characters discussed in the cave. I was like... shoulda listened to the story... duh lol Now mine are reading the book

    Thanks HotRod, I appreciate the well wishes. Thankfully I've had a pretty uneventful recovery so far. Aside from my initial mild fever last Tuesday, I've been symptom-free. I am obviously still in quarantine which is scheduled to end on Friday if I don't suddenly get another fever. Both the Minnesota dept of Health and the CDC have backed off on quarantine time from 14 day to 10, hence my freedom on Friday. I've very much looking forward to this because this has been the longest 8 days of my life, luckily I have my laptop and can do some work here but it has been a very long and boring isolation. The most surprising part in all this is that my wife and 2 daughters all tested negative (thankfully).

    Florida's Department of Health confirmed 7,347 additional cases of Covid-19 on Tuesday morning, bringing the state's total to 213,794.

    16.3% of coronavirus tests from Monday came back positive, which is a new mark for the highest rate of percent positivity in a single day.

    Florida also announced 63 additional fatalities, increasing the statewide death toll to 3,841.

    California and Texas have also seen an alarming spike in Covid-19 cases and subsequent hospitalizations recently.

    On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom confirmed that the number of Californians hospitalized by the virus has risen by roughly 50% over the last two weeks; hospitalizations in Texas have reportedly seen a 400% increase over the past month.

    At this point let's start sending resources to these people now before it gets real ugly.

    My covid antibody test was negative, also the second tick tests were negative too. I guess I will have to chalk it up to good old fashion pneumonia. Which is still lingering

    The NFL, MLB, and NHL are still pretending that there is going to be a season.

    The problem being is that there isn't enough known as to whether you can catch it more than once. Granted once you recover your body has the antibodies to fight it and if there is a second time around, you may not even know it.

    Friends have been texting me for a while now, all telling me how much money you can make by donating plasma if you've recovered from Covid. Something to the tune of $750 the first time and $500 for each time after that. I haven't called but if true, sign me up.

    that's one of the biggest and most dishonest red herrings you spread on this site.

    Being "pro-life" means one supports the right of the defenseless unborn to be protected from being intentionally killed inside the womb through no fault and no choice of their own by at least one grown adult who intentionally commits an act that the only result thereof said act is the murder/death of said unborn.

    That has nothing to do with a physically capable human being, making a conscious decision to conduct normal human activity which may, MAY result in the interaction with another adult human, who may, MAY be infected with a SOMETIMES deadly virus; and said SOMETIMES deadly virus MAY pass from person 1 to person 2; and the result of that infection MAY result in the sickness and even, although EXTREMELY UNLIKELY death of said Human#2.

    Your analogy is exactly the same conceptually that since if I am pro-life; since lightning strikes do sometimes but rarely kill someone; if I am against the government banning people from going outside during thunderstorms; this somehow makes me a Pro-Life hypocrite.

    One of my biggest faults is I sometimes feed the trolls.
    However, sometimes, albeit rarely, I get through to that guy.
