In Other News...

Wisc. Gov. Tony Evers extended the state's Stay-at-Home order until May 26.  School's Out for Summer.  Golf courses can open, under the revised plan...

The state eats its seed corn. I suspect it will continue to be a nice target for foreign/Asian investment in years to come.

Folks in Wisconsin are pretty much making up their own rules, it seems.  But a reminder, here's the Governor's order...

Remember—there are no medications or vaccines to protect us. Physical separation is the best way to stop this virus from spreading further.
Here’s what we are asking:
  • Stay at home.
  • Limit your physical interactions to the same people during this time. Less than five people total will help us stop the virus from spreading.
  • Keep at least 6 feet apart from others and avoid direct physical contact.
  • Limit the amount of time you spend making essential trips to the grocery store or to pick up medication.
  • Make essential trips no more than once a week.
  • And stay in touch over the phone with your family and friends as much as possible. We all need support through this time.
 I'm not a shamer -- really! -- but if you are hopping in your car daily to visit with grandchildren and working parents, or to drive to your preferred outdoor exercise spot daily, you're not really staying at home.  Others are limiting their essential trips to weekly ones now.  Why are you special?

It's not so much the rule-breaking that is offensive, it's how they justify it, and pretend they are following the spirit of the law, when in reality, they continue to publicize their outings and set a poor example for other suckers, who do stay at home and sacrifice time with friends and family at preferred nature preserves and public outdoor spots, by restricting travel and outside contacts.  Isn't that the point of prevention?
