Received an Email from friends in Maggie Valley this morning. The ski area there is shutting down today as well. I know many lives are being disrupted by this mess, but I also believe it's better to error on the side of caution. Here in our small town it is pretty much life as usual except TP is a bit scarce, no clue what's behind that. Our daughter is an RN and her hubby is a Nurse Practitioner and they are gearing up for the long hours that we hope don't come. Everyone keep your heads down until this mess passes and we see each other on the road.

Most people are entering a "safe, rather than sorry" mode these days. Even in small town AR, people are avoiding going out and staying at home rather than "exposing" themselves to potential virus contact.
Our small town grocery was not to busy yesterday. But the TP and hand sanitizer sections were bare. Everything else was okay. The TP thing is a bunch of "crap," in my opinion.
The WalMart in the town next to us...was a mad house. We are trying to stay away from there for the time being.
I read somewhere that people are snapping TP up because they feel better with "large" packages in storage during a crises. Remember back in the "gas shortage" days? Johnny Carson made a joke about a shortage of TP coming, and within a week, the stores were cleaned out. I did not bite.
Bottom line, we are trying to be as "normal" as possible, but are going to avoid large crowds for the time being. Living out in the country does not hurt.
A good thread to post on if you have chatty information. Just keep the political stuff out of it. Blaming anyone for this is not going to solve anything. So far BK, I am letting it ride. There are four others who will look it over too.
The previous two threads did not last once the bad stuff came in. Let's try to keep this one sane and on point.

That would be tough having new skis and nowhere to go with them Mike....That's like spring ordering a snowmobile...LOL...I guess this thing is gettin' real now.....be safe everyone, and please don't panic buy

Schools closed going online here too, my work closed we are all remote for the next 2 weeks minimum. My son is home for spring break and they are online for a few weeks minimum afterwards. He has friends on overseas programs, some have made it home after being gouged by the airlines for ticket changes and some are stranded and unable to leave and come home.

According to the Durango Herald, All Colorado ski resorts have been shut down for the season by the governor. Purgatory was on schedule for its longest season in history, now will be one of the shortest.
Be safe out there.

Mohawk closed suddenly. A combination of poor conditions and the virus.
Belleayre remains open, but they shut down the gondola for fear of enclosed spaces.
The good news is.................... I've scored a supply of toilet paper. Hot Damn !!!

Before I figured out an alternative, the shortive of T.P. would have been a big concern for me. .....Why ... because I have a sinus drainage condition that require's me to blow my nose frequently ...... so my alternative is to use yesterday's " T " shirt ... ie. underwear to blow my nose, that garment then goes into the wash and is replaced by the new one ....... this isn't for everyone , but it works for ....... I hope you can find some more in the next few months....... for me, my reduction in T.P. use is about 90% ....... Mike

Thanks Mike. That's definitely too much sharing.
Oh, I just read, that Bealleayre is closed as of today as well. All the ORDA managed slopes are now closed.

Well, my first get away for this year is mid to late April. The wife and I are just taking a little break down at Myrtle Beach. I just got notification from Booking.com saying that we could change dates with no issues, but right now we are still planning on going. We will just sanitize things where we will be staying. As for the rest of the trip, it will be just the 2 of us and an ocean front suite. Not going to even try to be around other people.
