Well it looks like my predication came true. This Agency is on lockdown

[GusBob]

Hill county went from 0 active cases to 6 like overnight. From what I hear they are all on the tiny town that borders the Agency and one of the cases is someone who works at one of the schools. So the entire place is locked up for at least 2 weeks. the rumour is a couple went to Phoenix to buy a car and carried it back

Its weird if you think about it, back where my family lives, the county alone has just under 3,000 active cases. But in a small community with very few gathering spots it could be just as risky?

Looks like I'm stuck at home for 2 weeks low on books

1. I'm sorry this is happening.

I’m afraid we are in for it in Big Sky Country. The out of state visitors are here in droves. Stay safe GusBob.

6. I wish it was winter

Sigh

2. Lots of good public domain books available as PDF. Try the Guttenberg Project and the like.

You can do it. Isolating does weird things to your head, but I discovered that a lot of those weird things are actually very positive.

7. Thanks

Yeah I have long conversations with myself
And come to understandings

3. Your library might have ebooks and e-audiobooks.

You can stream them and sometimes download them. Expands your reading by miles!

4. We have doubled our case #s in my county this week.

We have two entrances to YNP in our county so we have tourists up the wazoo.


Here's the state's Covid map and info...

5. 420 pm update

We went from 2 positive on the Agency to 5

I knew when the pages for nursing on the clinic intercom started going off the hook on
Monday morning we were in trouble. Normally Monday mornings are quiet.

8. That sounds like

it's going to be a rough month. My thoughts are with you, I have been staying home since early March. Probably be here next year at this time too.

9. You know it.

I get what GusBob is saying...almost wishing it were winter. Summer up here is so fleeting that it feels like such a gyp that we have to hunker down and away from people. At least in winter, it feels more normal to hole up at home. This just sucks. Every other car I see on the roads is not from MT. It’s pissing me off. All this traffic up here will be the difference between my kiddo being able to attend school or not this fall.

Take care GusBob. You matter to us.
