You clearly haven’t been out of your box in a while Eye. Unfortunately, it’s a working vacation but still, the contrast is stunning. DeSantis knows how to run a state. The only positive is We may be kicking out the boy king in a few months for his miss handling of the economy. California’s 9%+ unemployment rate is maddening when compared to Florida and you consider we got nothing for a shut down but economic pain....thanks for that.

Working vacation does not make sense. Because you do not get paid to post on TI.

Tapping a few clients while I’m here, pressing the flesh and celebrating last years returns. Not only good client relations, but now I can write off the whole trip.

I guess you didn%u2019t understand my previous statement.
1. You said you were on vacation like many times. (I think no one cares to be honest.)
2. I said why would you be posting on TI frequently if you are on vacation.
3. Your response is working vacation visiting your clients (or maybe not)

If you call this a vacation or working vacation and you have time to post frequently on TI. I say go have fun. But then again this might be fun for you. Because you lie a lot on here. Lol
I think an average reasonable person would not be on TI and call it a vacation activity.

This guy is mad because he got conned and lied to by Trump.

You always get it backward  Eye. I am mad, but not because he was wrong. I’m mad because he was right.

Keep on saying that to yourself. Believe your own lies.

Now you got it Eye!  I do find this fun!

Or maybe just a little off.

Shut down?  What shutdown?

On President’s day I went to Irvine Regional Park, at 10AM the line backed up out to Chapman and parking inside was nearly full.

On Wednesday, I was by the District, drove through the Walmart lot, standard Walmart crowd with parking nearly filled..  From there headed up the 55, with the normal 55 rush hour traffic.

On Thursday I swung by The Marketplace to pick up some TV Dinners from LazyDog.  Happy hour was in full effect.  The patio was full. The extra side patio they added was full.  The pop up converted parking lot patio was full and about 20 groups of people were milling around the hostess doors and parking area waiting to get seated.

Friday had a household issue pop up had to make a Target run for something out of stock in Irvine so ended up in Santa Ana shorty after school let out.  The streets had people everywhere. The entire shopping center had people everywhere and Target had no shortage of people.

Today went to a different regional park.  By noon when we left, every structure was decorated with balloon and other stuff for parties.  Groups everywhere.  People setting up large groups of blankets to mark space for gatherings that didn’t reserve a structure.

I haven’t been to the beach, it’s a little early, pretty sure I know what I will see.


California shutdown like most people diet.  I’ll start Monday, Friday’s (and Sat and Sun) will be cheat days and ‘just a little’ doesn’t count.

Yeah but California just let up. Florida let up in September or sooner I think. California’s more prolonged shutdown did cause more economic damage.

Looks like bad news on covid front.

California is running with a different variant that appears worse.

A coronavirus variant first identified in Denmark is now surging through California and represents more than half of samples in 44 counties, according to new UC San Francisco data released Monday.

The variant, called L452R, is more infectious than the original strain of the virus, although it does not appear to spread more quickly than the U.K. variant, scientists found.

Also troubling is new evidence that links the variant to increased risk of severe illness and death. Additionally, people who are vaccinated seem to produce fewer protective antibodies in response to the variant, suggesting it might evade our immune defenses.

But that is your opinion. I guess you do not think the shutdown help slow the spread of covid. Backed up that covid cases are dropping.

If people wore the masks like other country and stop blaming on 5G. Lol
We would not be in a hot mess last year. (someone lied more than Ted not saying you did)

Qwerty: Where are the vaccines that were delivered from the Pharmaceutical companies to the US under Trump? There are millions of vaccines unaccounted for. But we know you will not talk about that. Lol

(If not millions, hundreds of thousands vaccines went missing. Was it theft? Was it simply poor record keeping? Equipment did not work? Scanned the wrong bar code?) Who knows!

Who is stopping you from partying it up in South Beach with no mask?
But most importantly do not blame me if you catch it.

Perhaps this? https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1351026883299782656
"If L452R is shown to significantly promote transmission (not confirmed yet), it might help demystify the California vs Florida divergence that has yet to be explained"

US officials ask China not to subject staff to Covid-19 anal swab tests

Everytime I drive by  Crunch and see the line waiting to get in, i think this.  So many WTF in the article. 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/02/25/gyms-coronavirus-masks-cdc-ventilation/

In Chicago, the CDC found an outbreak was tied to a gym that was operating at 25 percent capacity. Although gym members brought their own weights and mats to high-intensity classes, remained six feet apart and were screened for symptoms, including temperature checks, upon arrival, two major basic guidelines to curb the spread of the virus were not met, the report found.

The majority of attendees did not keep their masks on throughout the entire class. Added to this, 22 people attended the high-intensity workouts despite exhibiting covid-19 symptoms and three after having tested positive for the virus.

None of those infected through the gym died, but one person was hospitalized for eight days. The gym reopened 13 days after it closed, and only those who had proof of a negative coronavirus test were allowed to return, the CDC report added.

In September, a Chicago resident called their gym with alarming news: They’d recently come to an indoor workout class despite feeling sick and then later tested positive for the coronavirus.

The gym quickly shut its doors, but it was too late. Fifty-five of the 81 people who attended high-intensity classes at the facility between Aug. 24 and Sept. 1 would eventually test positive. A similar case tied to three gyms in Honolulu over the summer resulted in 22 total infections.
