it was amusing the other evening on the local news to see the increase of drinking due likely to people having to basically stay at home.. the news crew went out on recycle day in a couple of areas during the week.
they showed the general neighborhoods (but not the specific houses).
the reporter walked down the street and looked into the recycle bins.
When Mt. St. Helens blew in 1980 we were living in Pullman, Washington. It's a small college town about 250 miles downwind from the mountain. At the time the population was about 25,000, 16 thousand of whom were college undergraduates. Within twenty-four hours of the eruuption the entire town was out of beer.
I suspect something similar is happening with the stay at home orders.
some light entertainment ... there are apparently 39 beatles songs hidden in the picture, but depending on how to interpret some of them you may come up with more.. please post one each, to give everyone a go, and describe where the song is in the picture (so it's not just coming up with a list of beatles songs).
also, check for existing answers - i'll post summaries to show the ones already identified.. .

so awesome - the usaf thunderbirds just did a fly over the las vegas valley starting at nellis air force base all the way to boulder dam, boulder city, nv, in tribute and honoring the covid 19 healthcare workers/responders.
so amazing - we were in the backyard and could hear the engines long before any sight of them.
they flew over summerlin, spring valley - over couple hospitals and back over my house - circling on to the las vegas strip, henderson then boulder dam - back to nellis.
Cool. I've never seen the Thunderbirds, but the Blue Angels are an annual show here in Seatle. Always impressive.
every single news item, on every single news channel, and the majority of threads on this site, for the past three weeks seem to be either directly or indirectly related to covid-19.
is nothing else happening in the world?
has putin stopped slaughtering syrian civilians?
Well after four years of non-stop Trump bashing I was ready for something else. Of course, they're now blaming this on Trump. Maybe if the Democrats hadn't been hell bent on impeaching him he (and they) might have had some time to see the oncomng train.
i say it tramples on the free market!
if a person gets botulism, e.coli or trichonosis, they'll just stop buying that brand!
let the market decide i say.
Read "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. It's a good look at the meat industry prior to inspection laws.
according to white house task-force expert: .

"dr anthony fauci, a key member of the white house's coronavirus task force, told nbc news' today show on thursday the final number of americans who will die from covid-19 in the outbreak "looks more like 60,000".
You know the eintire War in Viet Nam only killed 58,000 Americans. I guess we should all recognize that it was no big deal compared to the flu.
i read a lot on online.
i regularly read fox news, the drudge report the new york post and local newspapers and local newscasts.
where do you get most of your news from?.
Three rights make a left.
i'm in the uk, and most days over the last 2 weeks i've watched the 5pm uk government update on the corona virus situation which includes questions from the media.
generally speaking i've found the whole update, including the questions and answers, to be respectful, informative and non combative, with, to the best of my recollection, very little mention of politics and blame.
certainly no political point scoring.
When the CDC said death toll will be Lower, and closer to the administration's projections, Anderson Cooper seemed disappointed.
I'm sure he was. The American leftist media has been having wet dreams about bringing down Trump for four years.

Politicans and the media seem to be locked into a race to see you can be the least liked group in the US. They've beaten lawyers and used car salespeople.
you gotta listen to the first 60 seconds of the special talk drivel.. you'll immediately see why i've put this under jokes & humour.

I don't know how any person with more functioning brain cells than my wife's houseplants could have given that talk with a straight face.
