Re: Hope this is not a bad sign - 1st snake of the year
I haven't run across any snakes so far this year, but I imagine with it being so warm, after the deep freeze, they will be moving around looking for food. I have never found a rattler on my property. The only venomous snakes I ever find, are copperheads. They usually get the shovel, or hoe, treatmen...

Re: Time to open Texas!
NO Dr. EVER claimed that wearing a standard cloth or paper mask would protect "us" from GETTING Covid. What they have said was that wearing a mask helps to protect "others" by decreasing how far our Covid carrying spittle would travel. The reasoning was/has always been that the ...

Re: Time to open Texas!
The key phrase, is SUPPOSED TO. We have been "told" that wearing masks, will protect us. There is no evidence, that people who have worn masks, social distanced, stayed home, etc, contracted the virus at a lower rate, than those who did none of those things. The initial predictions for sp...

Re: Time to open Texas!
Just like if I choose to wear a mask, why would I care if the next person does so? JMHO The reason there are people who want others to wear a mask is that a mask does not protect the wearer, it is suppose to keep the wearer from accidentally spreading the virus to others through their spittle. I di...

Re: Time to open Texas!
I'll make my choices based on the science and my doctor, not some politician. I respect your right to make your choices. IOW, I agree with Abbott's decision. We should make our own choices, not something prescribed by the Govt. But, as noted, I will avoid people and establishments that, in my opini...

Re: Time to open Texas!
This morning, I stopped at my hometown QT. No "masks required" sign. The sign posted listing the maximum number of people in the store was gone. The "no refills" sign was gone. Inside, two clerks working with no masks. I felt like I had stepped back in time. I have been going in ...
Re: HOG Hunt
Dark plays tricks with your eyes, and ears. Every sound seems amplified. Things you would swear are off to the right, suddenly appear to the left. Cold rain, etc, only seem to aggravate the situation, as well as the hunter. Great post. I can relate to waking fully refreshed, thinking I had slept thr...

Re: Time to open Texas!
I wonder if the reason no one asked me to put on a mask was because I was OC? :mrgreen: I also figured out that my AR with a chainsaw bayonet attachment, provided the six foot social distancing, required in most locations. However, before Wuhan Flu, and I wasn't wearing a mask, most people stayed at...
