Probably more simple and sensible to keep at risk people (the cast minority) quarantined than making the entire country (the vast majority) come to a stand still. JS.

I respect your views, especially since you have a school-aged child. Sounds like you’ve got a good kid on your hands. I love hearing about good kids. Seems as though we tend to concentrate on the bad stuff too often. My son, an incoming senior, he is more important to me than life itself, as I’m sure your boy is to you too. He was in a near fatal accident last year, almost 2 weeks before first football practice. It was a year and 8 days ago, as a matter of fact. I can still barely talk about it in front of people because my eyes start stinging, and I know the tears are right behind. After a torn PCL, head full of stitches, “new” used truck and a lot of prayer and thanks to God, I have to tell him he probably won’t get to play football at all that year. I’ve never seen him cry like he did that day. With tears streaming down his face, he grabbed me by the arm and literally pulled me outside. Both eyes black and swollen, bandage around his head, knee brace on and limping, he starts running 15 yard sprints out of a 3 point stance. He would stop, turn around, get in a stance, say “hit” and sprint off the “line” again. He’s shouting at me as if I can’t see him, “See Dad, I can play. I can run. “Hit” off he goes again. He’s streaming tears and running and yelling at me all at the same time. He falls after 5 or 6 sprints from the knee injury. I picked him up and hugged him and told him to come inside. We made a decision to forgo surgery until at least after the season, and he missed all the scrimmages and most of the non-district games, but he actually played every district and playoff game. He had a decent season. And he’s got one more left. Ain’t no way I’m gonna tell my baby boy he can’t play after that. He is healthy and I feel like Covid is the least of his worries. Every morning when he leaves for work or summer workouts, the app on my phone tells me he’s just left the house. It scares the living she-it out of me. Especially since his wreck. But I still let him drive. I still let him live. And I’m not trying to sway you or anyone else into doing anything differently. I just had to explain that life is a risk. We take them every day...much bigger ones than dealing with this virus that most healthy people endure. I hope the very best for your son. I hope his senior year has all this silly crap in the rear view mirror. And I pray for everyone’s health.

THEN who would tell us how to live?

The “rubber” ballistic tips work pretty well too.

Well, the alternative is don't shoot one down. Lol.

A few 30 round clips can. Rubber bullets of course. 😎

Well, they have great hot dogs...

Will that affect week 1 AAW?

Lmao. Good one.

Who do you think wins the district?

Sorry. Agreed. Hard to pass up silly remarks though.

You need to climb in a hole and seal it up. Better get off this board via laptop/cell phone/pc. You might get a virus. Hope you have a good life looking over your shoulder.

What about police helicopters?

You just made my point. Thank you. Neither should this...

Man, I’m intrigued. Do you get to fly them ever, or are you strictly in a supervisory role?

Bet she didn’t think about then when they were raping a bunch of kids...

Lol. C’mon buddy. They ain’t going in your house! Lol. Just don’t burn a big fat one on the back porch even if you have a 6’ privacy fence.

Only cuz they had to make a game up. Lol. Evadale did their best though.

Certainly it exists. So does influenza and hosts of other diseases that are deadly. Your point? Let’s keep this about the topic. We can handle Doomsday elsewhere.

Everybody? And wouldn’t that be offense?

Doesn’t help when you’re not that good either.

Dang. I’m surprised. I like the idea. I have nothing to hide, and I want LE to have every tool (publicly speaking) to do their job. It’s no different than helicopter surveillance as far as I’m concerned.

RUN!

You are clueless partner. In a refinery, which is the life blood of ALL of SE Texas, who does maintenance, fixes things, keeps things going, builds new units and expansions? Thousands of refinery workers and contractors on-site which, I dare say, is the only reason for Beaumont / Port Arthur/ Orange and all points in between. Do you take communion online? Can the doctor take blood, look down your throat, perform x-rays or tests online? The first time you heard of fatal car accidents, did you quit driving? I could literally go on all day with these little self-evident examples, but I won’t. You might want to get a grip. Peace out.

Tough row to hoe for the L-Train. I’m glad though. It’ll get em ready for a good Vidor team. Let’s hope this new deal remains.
