Good morning, the temp is 33ーF and going to a high of 41. Wind NE 15 gusting to 25 mph. 70% chance of flurries/rain showers.
A dump run is in the cards today.
The Premier (kinda like your Governor) of Ontario has only 'strongly suggested' that we stay at home and especially if we have the sniffles. I have allergies to pollen and cough and sneeze, but I try to keep the sneezing to a minimum. Life goes on, I don't hang out at the local convenience store. Nor do I ever hang out with my neighbours. BUT when I need something from the store, I do my homework first online, order the item then go to the store and get it. Pretty much the same as before covid 19.
The Victoria Day long weekend is just ahead of us and the small town Mayors are trying to get the Premier to put a travel ban in place to keep the citidots out of cottage country. I live in cottage country. I am part of an 'essential service' (road building and maintenance), so I don't care about travel bans. I still keep my 'distance' (6 feet), but I have almost always done that anyway.
As for the news, I don't bother with it mainly because most reporters don't know their azz from a tin cup about most of the subjects they like to cover. Example, a truck has an accident and all of a sudden the reporters are on it like white on rice, all of them act like they are truck safety experts. They print whatever they want, whether or not it is factual or truthful.
Have a safe and healthy day all
