I wanted to go do some shooting at the rifle range but there's gonna be a big hassle getting on the range so I won't go. In an email, the club officers said they're only allowing five members on the range at any one time. That means there will be a line of cars outside the gate waiting until someone leaves. I know some shooters who will stay there all day. You might not ever get on the range. Another thing in the email... they won't let you in if you don't have cleaning supplies like disinfectant wipes & sprays & paper towels. Shooters are to clean anything they touch. That part is not a hassle, it's the considerate thing to do.

2)  For everyone, some places are actually looking for employees (likely only temporary):

On the other hand, I've never had so many people thank me for the job that I do. Normally, truck drivers are viewed as second class citizens and treated pretty poorly. It's sad to see that an event like this occur for people to see how critical truck drivers and other "low" class professions are all the time.

The idiot hoarders have made it hard for me to keep supplies in my truck. The last walmart I went to was completely out of paper towels, dry foods, water, and cleanser. They had frozen food and while I do have a fridge in my truck, it is small, not a freezer, and frozen goods go bad quicker.

Today, I am picking up a 45000 pound load of flour, which is about the maximum weight i can legally pull, from Montana, going to Sacremento, CA. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned because that's another product people have been hording.

Thanks for your words Rachel. Be safe everyone, and stay at home please.

I just became a citizen and I swore an oath to this country, those born here are under that oath too. It's a social contract. I believe we as citizens have a duty to this country. That is to defend and do whatever it takes to keep it together.

Truck drivers do their duty, utility workers do theirs, and all other essential service workers do theirs. It is everyone elses duty to not spread this virus. The country uses an economy dependent on the spending of money and right now very little is flowing. It's everyone's duty to minimize this so we don't collapse. People think only the military has duties but it's not just them.

" that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law. "
That is the civilian duty. Right now that duty is pretty easy. Go home and wait for now.  It just burns me up when I see people on the beach or out doing stuff that is not needed. This means that brothels are not essential right now. No one can convince me otherwise.

I went home so that I would not get this and pass to another which might kill somone. Especially an elderly person. If I get sick it adds to the misery. That was my duty, to get in and not pass it. That is my duty and I take it serious.

Everyone else should too so why are you out asking truck drivers what they are hauling? Because you don't cherish your citizenship and and spit all over it.

Toilet paper. Pffft. Wipe your ass with a leaf like humans did for millions of years.
