I am not sure what the big deal is - I have been practicing this for years. I always assumed it had to due with my personal hygiene.

Living in The Iron Triangle of Area BFE in Wisconsin, has always been to my advantage.
Live on a Private Dirt Road with only one full time resident besides myself. Gives me a over a mile long test track, hunting right out the back door, 6-7 lakes for fishing all 10 minutes away,
and if I have a Yard Party, nobody to Call the County Cops about the Good Time we're having.
So other than the kids bringing up the Grand Kids to visit, only other visitors is when the Flea Bay parts arrive.

I'm a fairly social animal but I understand the need and ME and I are following the guidelines as well as possible. I went out yesterday for groceries and meds but kept distance between me and others - a little awkward for me but manageable. While I was out I picked up carry out lunch at one of our local restaurants and they really NEED our support now more than ever. Besides, the ribs are good as always.
I'm lucky to have a wife that I actually like. Being holed up with her isn't a sacrifice! And Little Andy is also good company (woof!).

I live rural too.
I actually do not notice a slow down.
loggers are trucking etc.
my neighbor had a request for masks (she can't drive), but she is out and about too without it.
She survived a bout with lung cancer. just got all her hair growing back not long ago.
What grabbed my attention is my seeming endless subscriptions to explorers on you tube.
I just watched Vegas with hardly anything happening on video.Previously boxer3main

My near total lack of a social filter makes it natural for me to keep my distance. And yet I managed to have a couple of dust-ups with store clerks this past weekend. One says "can't fill your refill glass at the drink counter as long as this is going on". OK. So I filled it with one of theirs & then poured it into mine. You'd have thought that I just took her last fat pill. Then a check-out clerk at my local Menards got all uppity after I took a step towards her to help move my cart out of her way after she was done. So much for trying to help her out....when you got a fast car, you think you've got everything.

There was a news blurb a couple days ago, Grandma had her 95th birthday. It was a video, Grandma outside the front door on her walker and all the family stretched out across the front yard, well away, and all spaced about 6 feet apart holding up a letter to spell out Happy something or another. They were social distancing for the video, and a great job of it. But if you look around, all of them showed up in one car and a minivan, parked by the curb.Charter member of the Turd Nuggets

Back on track, living out in the country does allow a lot more freedom when staying away from the general public. I can walk out to the garage play with the Studebakers, walk through the woods to the cemetery and go over to the building I use for an office and mess around. If I still lived back in town I would have none of that. I feel pretty lucky. With age and my medical situation I would have been mighty hard to deal with, during any kind quarantine, self imposed or not. Thanks to living out of town.Last edited by JRoberts; March 25, 2020, 02:35 PM.
