D&D and the rising pandemic

South Pacific Police State Update.

One more week of level 4 lockdown, then dropping to level 3.

They're very similar but we can't get takeaways delivered and construction firms can build stuff.

Stuff

Our level 3 is kinda like everyone else's normal lockdown.

Level 3 is for two weeks so 3 weeks of lockdown left.

Only 8 cases of community transmission contained, Director General of health seems confidant of no community transmission.

9 news cases today, same as yesterday.

Level 2 isn't business as usual but schools are open. Schools optional for level 3 due to returning parents .

Only 500k people are working atm that will double next week.

New Zealand to ease tough virus lockdown measures next week

New Zealand will next week ease some of the world's strictest lockdown measures taken to tackle the novel coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Monday, after a month of tight restrictions slowed the spread of the disease.

3) Ideally- and I‘m guilty of this- your facial hair doesn’t protrude under the boundaries of the mask.

One of the primary reasons that the military makes you stay clean shaven. Gas masks don't work over bushy beards very well.

Depends on your branch and country, I knew several of my Dad’s male colleagues and direct reports during his time in the the Army’s medical branch had moustaches or neatly trimmed beards- things like goatees or Van Dykes. None of the AF guys in the same programs did, though.

Well, yes, this is true. My brother was stationed at the north pole (Alert) for about 6 months and came back looking like a mountain man. Navy obviously allows for facial hair as well, depending on your branch. It's not like you face a lot of gas attacks on a submarine. Well, at least, not enemy gas attacks.

We're gonna need a bigger mask

We're gonna need a bigger mask

S'okay. None of those dudes would look appropriate except in some old brass diving helmet anyway.

It’s possible to get sick of anything.

I learned to cook because Mom got sick and was hospitalized for a couple weeks. When discharged, she was still on bed rest for another week. During that time, Dad fed me cereal for breakfast, PB&J for school lunches...and PB&J for dinner. The J was always grape- the only flavor I liked.

“When you get better,” I whispered to her, “teach me how to cook!”

Fast forward to my freshman year of college. I had no car, and our entire campus food service was in the middle of being renovated, and the lone open cafeteria closed at 7PM. So if i missed dinner there and my more mobile friends were out of touch, I was reduced to eating what I had in my dorm fridge or closet. Many times, that meant a PB&J. By the time I finished that first year, I had gone through pounds of the stuff.

I still eat peanut butter, but my appreciation of grape jelly was extinguished that year. It has been something like 33 years now.

I similarly burned out on white chocolate in about a year. I only eat it in certain cookies, these days.

I even had a month off of beef after a 4 day binge.

Been eating oatmeal since January. Sexing it up with blueberries and banana and out of fresh blueberries.

Now it's canned peaches, and bought some cornflakes and and rice bubbles.

Plan was to avoid the supermarkets as much as possible due to maybe asthma. Only went once in a month.

Oatmeal I usually keep simple: made with milk, not water, flavored with sugar & cinnamon.

How about a sweetener like honey, maple or agave? Possibly with nuts?
