How’s everybody doing today? What day is it? I’m starting to lose track.
P-51D Mustang manufactured in 1944. This one has had the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , most easily recognized by the taller tail. This aircraft was donated to the EAA in 1977 and flown regularly by EAA Founder Paul Poberezny. It was retired to permanent display in 1994 and repainted with a wartime livery.

I just got off our weekly section conference call. I feel so for tu nate to have work to do.
It’s a good thing I’m not working in Texas any more. I would have to self-quarantine for two weeks every time I made the trip over.

It’s my understanding that while they are requiring quarantines for air travelers, there is no such restriction for people coming by car. My mom, who lives in a hotel in NH, emailed me this morning. The health department is going around and interviewing anybody who came to NH from NY and requiring them to quarantine. Seems lots of people are trying to get away from the hot zone.

We know people who ran to Florida to escape the expanding hot zone here. Other people have migrated to their fishing camps or beach houses. I get it, you want to be comfortable in your isolation. But there’s also a chance you are spreading the disease and/or running to a place that doesn’t have the same level of medical service you left.
As for Texas ...
“Just two days after Texas began requiring airline passengers from New Orleans to comply with a two-week quarantine, Abbott said state troopers will now also patrol highway entry points at the Louisiana border and require “everyone stopped” in those cars to also self-isolate. Abbott’s order requires drivers to fill out a form listing where they will quarantine in Texas.
But how aggressively Texas troopers will patrol incoming traffic wasn’t immediately clear. Hours after Abbott’s announcement, traffic both in and out of Texas was freely moving along Interstate 10 near the Sabine River that divides Texas and Louisiana. No state troopers were seen patrolling the interstate, although multiple highway electronic signs in both directions warned drivers that “Personal travel from Louisiana must quarantine.’””

Unless they set up roadblocks, there’s really nothing they can do. And you can’t block every state road and county highway at the border. My wife and I were discussing the other day how democracies are having a harder time with this than dictatorships. In China, they were able to enforce a national lock down. Here, people just ignore it.

I’m good with that if they’re responsible about it.

Most state borders are very porous and will be hard to control. My daughter pointed out the order and we talked about how it would be enforced. If they are just pulling over people with Louisiana plates, I can just grab the old Texas plates from my truck or my wife’s car and slap them on the Outback. They may be expired, but they should do!
Events like this just expose the weaknesses of our society.

Oh, to have a civilian P-51.
Today I am having a voluntary unpaid day off and I am going to go after the water pump on the Mini that has a slight leak. Going to start that after getting out of my chair in the garage. The weather is perfect.

My wife is at work, but she and the other two staff are going to approach the dean today and ask to stay home. There is ZERO that she has to be there for. But since the university is a state institution, it doesn’t fall under the city’s shelter order. We’ll see how that goes.

Yeah, there's still a debate on whether the federal or state governments even have the authority to close internal borders under Article IV. It doesn't say they can't, but it's been interpreted to mean that. Dictatorships have the luxury of not having to bother with such matters

The Californians that showed up here on March 14 have been going out 3-4 times a day. They are from San Jose, one of the harder hit areas. I don’t mind that they are at their second home but damn have some restraint people.

Day 1 working from home for real, not just for convenience . I’ve got my full work station set up and my chair is a 75 cm exercise ball. Very bouncy.
Since all this social isolation started I haven’t had to go anywhere since March 5. I think I’m actually loosing weight, sometimes the anxiety of the situation is pretty thick but we are getting through it.

In Finland our largest province (in population) Uu simaa is currently isolated. Work and other “essential” trave ling is still possible but you need an official document to get through. The police and the defe nce forces are currently handling the checkpoints . In this mor ni ng the queue s at the checkpoints were up to 7 kilometers long .

The trick is to have the money to own, maintain, and fly a P-51. There’s one parked at KDWH. T he guy that owns it also has several other interesting aircraft like a T-6 and a Christen Eagle.

See email. I’d rather not go into it here.
