    Sounds like Boulder County is going to issue a Stay at Home order tomorrow.

    "What help has the school district presented / offered to get teachers set up? Did they leave folks to figure it out on their own (visit Skype, etc and create accounts...) or did they say this is the platform that is going to be used between you and your students?


    In not-so-related news - I've been watching way too many CheapRVliving vids on YouTube. Hmmmm.... Could I see myself living out of a van? I spent four months living out of saddle bags on the motorcycle and found I could live that way permanently. Having a mobile location with a window to different scenery week by week. So long as I'm connected for phone calls and remote access on the laptop. Hmmm...

    My wife teaches in SVVSD and they had two conference calls/ meetings discussing how to do them, but its up to the teachers to do most everything else. She didn’t say much but I am not impressed.

    "I'll be curious how this event is handled - the asterisk on the records - for many that might not meet education (graduation) requirements but the system pushed things along anyway. I'm thinking there will be no do-over where all kids simply repeat the school year, next year."

    Most school districts will petition the school board and ask for a waiver from the state legislature if any issue comes up where seniors won't reach the minimum number of required hours - and I would easily guess that all waivers will be granted without issue. Heck, we even did a waiver a couple years ago when we had two late snow days due to a big spring storm after graduation dates had been set etc...While I don't see any issue with the waivers, and even with underclassman missing some significant learning - if everything is back to normal next fall (which is not guaranteed), there will be some gaps to fill in content areas that are sequential (math comes to mind mostly), but I would not be too concerned. If the situation either persists into next fall, or possibly such issues become more frequent, repetitive or even yearly occurrences - then our current students will suffer some deficiencies as a new normal is established and possible new paradigm around education is developed to handle such situations. Hope I used 'paradigm' correctly there....good SAT word....

    Our daughter was as well. We found a Face Time, Skype, Zoom, or other type of video "play date" has helped a lot. They schedule the next one while on their call which gives them something to look forward to.

    Day five of quarantine and just a bit stir crazy. Struck up a conversation with a spider, turns out he is a web designer.

    Ironic (funny) more than funny (haha):

    Someone in the neighborhood put a "boredom box" in the park behind my house. This was presented as "take a game/leave a game" sort of community toy box so families would have more variety of things to do to keep busy. Nice concept, but not the brightest given what could be lurking on the game pieces etc.

    A church in my neighborhood tried to do a "Social Distance Sidewalk Dance Party", which meant they were going to blast music from their tower while people danced atleast six feet apart on the sidewalk. Just like the old testament. There was some strong backlash, especially since places like Fire On The Mountain across the street were taking almost hazmat level precautions. the posts on Nextdoor were hysterical, and they called it off. Turns out you can't gentrify a virus.

    Found out today that my nephews wife has it. He’s been wheeling with fr4x4 a few times. She joined us several years ago on a San Juan trip, and walked the first couple of switchbacks on black bear.

    Went to the ER with difficulty breathing and they sent her home.

    Best Wishes Tom. Its going to affect someone each person knows and more. A jeep friend (ran Red Cone with Louis, Tyler and I few years ago) - his mother and her husband are not doing well with it right now. Thought this was interesting....

    That’s hilarious ^^.... lol

    I saw something on Facebook a couple weeks ago that made me laugh, “Can’t wait to be eating squirrel around a campfire with all the other survivors”


    Morbid thoughts but made me laugh
