I'm in NE Wisconsin - the state that has gone into post lockdown chaos. You may have heard that the WI Supreme Court ruled that the governor and his administration had no authority to lock down the state without legislature approval - and the legislature is locked up, so the court essentially opened the state up immediately.

Some of the counties in my area quickly locked their counties back down (up?) and some did not, but within days most all area counties dropped the lockdown and simply recommended a set of Wisconsin Economic Council safety rules (most make sense). Our local small pizza place did take out, but now say "come on in, have a few drinks, and socialize while waiting for your pizza to be ready". We won't be doing that.

So everything is opening up. Many bars and restaurants are posting that it will take a week or two to reconfigure before they feel comfortable opening. TV shots show people in the bars without masks happy that they can socialize again (I'm working hard not to editorialize here).

For my wife & I, being in the at-risk age group, are retired and staying home, except for a semi-weekly trip to the local small grocery store. We order a lot of stuff online, including food.

Speaking of hair cuts ... I'd ordered a Wahl Color Pro Cordless Rechargeable Hair Clipper and actually cut my own hair after watching a few YouTube videos. It worked GREAT! Next time I may have the wife do it, but she was worried that she'd mess up so I did it myself. Honestly, nobody here would care. This morning I asked my son if I could send him the same clipper. I'm sure his hair is insanely long. I haven't heard back from him.

We have horses on seven acres with a mix of pasture, woods, a small wetland, between two lakes, so we have no shortage of places to walk, and things to do.

And here we remain waiting for the positive test results to explode (hopefully not), and the availability of a vaccine (hopefully soonish).

Take care of yourself!! Then again, I'm reminded of that Billy Joel song - sinners are much more fun ... only the good die young.
