Huaco Kid Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I read that people in Seattle are calling 911 because the stores don't have any TP. You should probably get on that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 In 2000 we were expecting all sorts of stuff to happen...that night of patrol was insanely slow. We caught one car thief....and had some cows lose...that's what i can remember. All the red necks stayed home. Any other new years i could expect to be in at least one fight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only became a police officer in 2002. But, myself and my dad vividly made preps, just in case for the Y2K bug. There was real reason to fear the Y2K bug, but it was mostly fixed in advance, and amounted to little. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time i worked a small rural county. If all the electronic items died that night. They wouldn't have noticed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most warnings of an apocalypse in modern times, are from people so disenchanted with their lives they want to believe everyone will pay for their discomfort. I think they even hope for this. The other group are those who want to make the populace believe that rather than suffer the calamity, they should allow these people to control everything and every body. The apocalypse is a made up thing by people that believe the ignorant will follow them. The actuality is, that we are smart as a species and have the corner on cleverness and innovation. We can work our way out of anything short of a cosmic event. Never, never, sell Man short of forcing the reality to conform to his wishes. I have seen some of what man can do when the chips are down. I believe in man more than I believe in horror and terror crap. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We walked past some idiot with a sign that said the world was about to end. As we walked past dad turned suddenly faced the man and said, "Damn it, man! That's classified information!" Dad turned and walked away. The guy looked...shocked. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Though I'm not bored by any means, the ER has been unseasonably slow this week, with probably a 30% drop in daily numbers of patients coming through. The lion's share of the patients are respiratory complaints, probably somewhere between 30 and 40%. 8 active cases in my county, one admitted upstairs in my hospital, no deaths (yet). Picked a helluva time to become an ER nurse practitioner. Y'all be safe out there. And let one person you were gonna ticket, off, for me. Cheers! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEOPLE are sheep. and there's a pack of wolves killing the sheepdog. We are not a species borne to last.

Bish1309 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 As of today...what is the least used item LE has at its disposal? (unscientific and just playing around) The Radar Speed gun. No one is out. They might as well turn off the traffic control lights, too. No one is there to law abide. LOL 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 You know! This present scenario in our country fits the plot line for the movie, "The Mouse That Roared". That was hilarious and similar to todays dilemma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mouse_That_Roared 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold ziffle Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 funny y2k story. at san quentin headquarters sent a memo for us to come up with a contingency plan if the power goes out. how would we get the doors open, how would we cook etc. our response was basically the newest cell block was built in 1918 and all of the doors have the original key locks. the heat and kitchen run on steam and we have a generator for the lights. we’ll be fine. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everybody else has a plan so we must need on too, even if it's not necessary...…….. Your and my idiot neighbors in government. I don't believe that there is a brain among them. They run on stupidity and larceny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a feller on GT who worked San Quentin...i think...as a guard. He had some astonishing stories. Have to admit those old cell blocks sound like they should be on the historic register. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
