FRONO! Of course I was not sticking my finger in your chest! :eek:

Just here in bucolic Northeast, with all the restaurants and bars chaffing at the bit to open (hope Tom likes
that metaphor :)), many places have offered "outdoor seating," which to my eye does not offer the six foot clearances, and
with a tent top and three enclosed sides, looks pretty much like "enclosed" to me.

All the careful precautions that everyone has been taking has brought the virus to a plateau, which some people seem to think means it's all over. Let's see what happens. Honestly, I hope the virus comes back with a robust second wind. If it doesn't, then all the public schools will open in the fall and it will become an entirely new game.

On Monday everything opens up..YEE-HAW! As for us, we'll be sitting at home, doing grocery shopping,
and as the OP...visiting the package store with our N95 masks on so we can drink on our front porch. ;)

Sirkku! Can I have another wine cooler? That Woodbridge Chardonnay you found is pretty good. "Hic"

BTW, outside humidity is now 89% and its not raining 😲

Personally, I'm becoming more cautious now during the "reopening" which will eventually become known as the first reopening.

I'm not a doomsdayer by any means, not even close. It's just that I don't need to burn myself on the stove to learn not to touch it.

We can go inside and sit at a table and order booze and whatever, but just can't sit at the bar. I like sitting at the bar. We know all the bartenders and they're (most of them) friends of ours so, sitting at a table out in the dining room is no fun for us. So I guess we'll go back to saving money and drink at home. Yaay.

My wife and I figured out that we've saved more than 500 bucks since the begninning of March on what we normally spend at our local coffee-shop every day. We kinda miss our barristas, but we've been making lattes at home and have gotten pretty good at it.

We've also only needed to fill our gas tank three times since then, the third time today.

Tom, so amazing how different parts of the country are affected by humidity. As walrus said earlier, we have entered the hot/humid weather here in Massachusetts. I put my guitar room humidifier away about 3 weeks ago and will have to fire it up again in the late fall.

Best wishes staying comfortable in that arid climate you have in LV.

Just read through the thread and had empathy for Tom, as most of the posts could be summarized as "Yeah Tom, but it's a dry heat." :p

I'm part of the Mass group where there is currently 78% humidity and a dew point of 75, but I'm usually in Las Vegas this week for a conference and can't say it's a whole lot more pleasant.

I'm glad to not see your feet in there.
