I told a couple of lawyers at our firm that lawyers are not worth anything in a pandemic. Law enforcement, the military, over the road truckers, (and rail) medical staff and food suppliers are worth everything. They got a little upset with my analysis.

Well...one thing for sure, there are more lawyers around then you can shake a stick at.

Don't rile them up. They'll stampede and beat you to death with their brief cases.

Murphy's corollary 37. "If you can't do it, teach it. If you can't teach it administrate". If you can't do sh it, become a lawyer. (Dougism)

Quick. Go send them flowers and candy before they retaliate?

Yes, common as flies.  I spent a good couple of hours near them in a small meeting room to discuss the courts closing and cases etc.  I stood outside by the door refusing to go in.

Thank you very very much for listening!

Look at this disaster.  It's shocking to the senses.

All the best gentlemen and stay well.  Hope to see you all at Mecum in Indianapolis when the Ken Miles Flying Mustang takes center stage.  A flying work of mechanized art!

Amazing night out for you.  Life goes on.  Thanks for the story.

I'm dying to see this car live in May.  Hope I get the chance the Gods willing.

That car is such a turn on!

Still feeling fine, but that doesn't mean anything.  Contemplating the sale of my Shelby and invest the money in a year's supply of organic popcorn and Cheetos puffs.  Also, due to toilet paper shortages, I bought three boxes of Kleenex and according to my calculations of 120 tissues per box, if I use one per day, I will be good for roughly one year.  I'm all set.  All seriousness though, courts are closing up here in Chicagoland and roads are becoming vacant.  I fear a collapsed economy in the aftermath more than the virus itself.  But I do maintain a healthy fear of the virus.  I'm 56.  The Cerveza Bug would like to kill me at this age.

Toilet humor. Timely as well! Lol!

Looks like a good time. Cheers!

I thought so. I grabbed a ream of paper and stuck it under my arm and told him I feel safer already. He rolled his eyes and walked away. Some lawyers have no humor. They're oh so serious.

A lawyer at the firm became a tad upset with me when I suggested that while everyone is hoarding toilet paper, I have decided to hoard printer paper. He wasn't amused. I think my comment was rather innocuous. But hey I'm not looking to win a popularity contest.

Stay safe,

Richard E.
