I have always said that free markets should be the economic default, but some sectors require a significant amount of central planning. From discussions, I identified three; education, transportation, and healthcare. Someone elsewhere pointed out public safety -- law enforcement, fire dept., environmental protection, -- should be included. I agreed. It looks like I still missed one?

We were supposed to go up the whole week to ski and go to the games. Cancelled. If I'm going to break protocol now, it's not gonna be to go to an NHL game, it will be to go see my parents

What protocol would you be breaking by going skiing or watching an outdoor sporting event?

Also, Cancun Cruz is an idiot.

To me the proper protocol is we avoid speaking ill of the recently deceased. If we must comment while their family is mourning; try to think of some nice things to say and keep the critiques fair and honest. Another good ideas is to try and avoid emulating the very conduct we are lambasting.

Rush Limbaugh often explained that he did a mix of serious discourse and irreverent satire, without telling the audience which was which. This was a winning formula and it allowed him to say things many others were thinking, but were afraid to say. If it went too far; that was the irreverent satire part. This often went over the heads of his detractors, much in the same way conservatives do not get liberal irony.

I was sort of a Rush fan during the early ears. By 1998, I thought he had become somewhat of a parody of himself. More recently, I felt like he had abandoned real conservatism to drink the Trump kool aid. Put another way, he had more or less sold out to what he once called the Keepers of odd Knowledge (KooKs).

One more thing. I disagreed with Rush most of the time. I can still respect the extraordinary influence he had.

RIP Rush

I would love to see your soliloquy when they found Hitler dead.

My own protocol of not traveling if I don't have to during a pandemic. Like, I don't eat meat as a rule, but if I'm gonna break that rule it ain't gonna be for a McDonald's Cheeseburger.

Remember - I have owned property in Stateline for 25 years, I know the place pretty well. It's a disease vector when there isn't a pandemic. Winter Park has had 109 employees test positive for COVID - and they don't even have casinos.

I might have sucked it up if it wasn't such a hassle to get up there - back in the day I would go up every other week but I'd throw some shit in a backpack and leave at 9 PM to skip traffic. Now, I gotta wrangle up a 12 year old, and all his shiznit, and we have to leave at a "reasonable hour" and the development in Sacramento has increased the traffic to boot. Vacations shouldn't be more chore than pleasure.

And while Heavenly is open - you need to make reservations, there is reduced capacity, etc, and part of the allure is eating out after skiing. Most of our choices are on the CA side which is still running at protocols that would make it painful at best.

It was 70 degrees yesterday, we took the pooch to the beach.
