For national news, I usually go with NPR and BBC. If I want a good laugh, I go to Foxnews and sometimes CNN.  

C-SPAN is what all news should be. While I get my news from a variety of other outlets, this is the only one I am willing to endorse. I encourage anyone that is getting news from other outlets to try it out. IMO, you will be surprised how difficult it is to listen to other national outlets afterward, especially Fox and MSNBC. Another tip is to realize news in a 24/7 format results in mostly irrelevant information and sensationalization of stories.

I try not to watch by news. The imagery is too manipulative.

I read Reuters and AP on my phone. Listen to npr on radio. 
 

It's actually been suspiciously quiet on our end so far. I started working remotely yesterday by choice. We closed the lobbies at all of our properties earlier this week. But, nobody has really come down with any hard fast policy or guidance at this point in time.

Granted, there aren't a ton of people who work at my company. There are only two other people in my part of the office. But, it's still sort of interesting... the lack of overall communication, I mean.

I’ve still got my business operating, pretty much business as usual. We don’t get many people in person but I closed access to only employees and deliveries. That will keep out the pesky sales people and probably a small amount of customers. Our walk-in customers are usually a PITA anyway. Also have started cleaning/sterilizing high touch areas 2 or 3 times per day. There’s not a lot of employees so not a biggie. Just hoping the work doesn’t come to a screeching halt. Been very busy so far....

Well, today I had to turn down some work for the first time due to the Covid. The customer, who we do quite a bit for intermittently, wanted us to go to their location (a jail) and do some work in an area where God knows how many people are touching stuff all over the place. I told him we weren’t doing that type of work at this time. I wouldn’t go in their myself so I sure wasn’t going to send anyone else there.

It was tough to be good under Jerry and his coach providing him with less.  If anything, what he does in the booth is proof that he knew far more than anyone thought ... he just wasn't in a position to trump coach or owner.

The first 4 Sabbath albums are the best. "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules" are the 6 best Sabbath albums of all time. I'd even put Heaven and Hell as their 3rd best.

Black Sabbath (the song) scared me more than The Exorcist when I was a kid.

I still have Masters of Reality on cassette!

I think I was in my 30's the first time I knowingly heard Sabbath after moving to Phoenix, But my oldest brother had an Alice Cooper lp I made fun of. Loved his Zeppelin though.

Small town life in a town with only one radio station..Had to memorize Styx and Journey songs or hang out at the roller rink and listen to Disco.

I still picture Bette Davis after her stroke whenever I hear Ozzy.

Maybe think about getting a 5th wheel camper instead of an RV.  One less engine to keep running. 

@NUance, that's what I meant I guess, a camper, I have no experience with them at all ,JJ you keep quiet this is our retirement plan!

Some people have been remodeling shipping containers into cabins. I'm not sure of all the pros and cons but I've seen some pretty cool ones that people set on their land in the mountains. You can find 20' or 40' containers pretty easily. They would be more roomy than a camper but probably cost ya a bit more. And would be a bit tougher to move but that might be a good thing if the plan is to not move it.
