I Sure Would Appreciate It If You Could Find It In Your Heart To Hang These Men By The Neck Until They Were Dead

I own a police scanner.

Please take a look at the first four words of this call from a dispatcher to a patrol unit that I just heard:

Received a 911 call about someone unloading trees at the plant nursery.”

I mean . . .

Maybe it’s not an “essential business” — but isn’t it, to them? Food on the table, if they sell them?

I mean . . .

Is this is what has become of our . . . ?

[cue Charlie Brown at the Christmas Pageant]:

Aaauuuuugh!

Oppo has officially lost it.

    Today I made a trek to the grocery store. As an aside I scored an 8 pack of Scott’s, the good stuff. Anyway my grocery store was enforcing an 80 customer occupancy for social distancing. I should also mention that they made the aisles one way. Sheesh. Anyway, there was an off duty cop outside making sure we all lined up in our masks to gain entrance. Of course signs everywhere saying stay 6 feet away in line. Oddly enough the only person not wearing a mask was the off duty cop.

    We are finalizing our madeness for sure.

  2. Of course a plant nursery is an essential business. Development and construction has been deemed essential, and government requires developers to plant trees of certain types and sizes, along with other landscaping. Essential!
