Yesterday we had a white out. You could not see one foot in front of you. This caused another accident as Jag was backing out with Ty to go to school and our other neighbor drove up behind him just when he was and of course, crunch. This time since Jag was the one backing out, we’re at fault, super. Guess I’ll just write a check for this one so insurance rates don’t go up. Then I came down this morning to find that Mojo ate our tv remote, nice. Guess with all the issues in the World I can’t complain about this.
I made it to Denver fine but coming back up it was bad. I guess the tunnel was closed earlier in the day. Lori’s car is all fixed up and good to go. Today Jag has a basketball game in Paonia at 5:30. JV is over for the year.
Lori has a patient coming in tomorrow whose wife is stuck in China and through a protocol she put in place, she discovered he too was in China in January and Thailand two weeks ago. She notified the higher ups and they might cancel the guy tomorrow until he goes a few weeks to make sure he’s not sick and spreading the virus. They’re now having a meeting to formalize a policy after Lori questioned them for the clinic’s response 10 days ago and was told, “we’re orthopedic” inferring no one here will get it. Lori knew this made zero sense so she kept pushing and of course NOW they’re coming up with a policy, ha.
While waiting for Lori’s car I shopped for some fun non refrigerated goods from Tony’s Market and Whole Foods. I found a bunch of comfort foods we don’t have at our stores up here to have on hand. I bough some Beignet mix, good polenta, line caught tuna, good sauces, handmade chocolate and toffee and things like that. If we do end up in quarantine or stores run short on food we’ll have some good stuff.
The Dow (stock market) dropped over 1000 points yesterday due to the virus. We canceled our Company trip to Germany mid March and gave all our employees the option to rent cars if they have to travel rather than fly. The next few weeks in our Country will tell a lot. The smart guys around the World (top scientists) say it’s inevitable that this will spread. Harvard’s top infectious doctor just said 40 to 70% of the World will get it so get ready. Just passing along the facts.
Tom reminded me I stopped writing to the boys which I knew as I sort of ran out of material. Here’s another shot.
Boys, lots going on. Jag, wow, you had your first two accidents in a 24 hour period. The important thing is no one was hurt. You’ll forget this and so will we as in the grand scheme of things, it’s nothing. Ty, you are the King of the Mountain. Mom and I are so proud of how much drive you have to just get up and go outside. You’re always up for skiing, mountain biking, working out, whatever. You worked out last night and are changing your diet away from sugar, on your own, good job! Jag, you toughed it out for more basketball practice and are playing this week even though I know you’d rather be done with it. Way to stick with it, good job. So keep it up both of you, you’re great men and a credit to our family and the World. Your grandma and grandpa (my mom and dad) would be so proud of you as they always were and loved you very very much.
That’s it, we slept in as it’s 7:02 now so time to get moving, God Bless.
