Separated at birth? Twin sistas of another mother?Posted on 04/01/2020 5:58:58 AM PDT by NOBO2012
Hard to get excited about April First when the whole year has felt like April Fool’s day.
Still, pranksters gotta prank. Take Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer - aka Caitlyn Jenner – for example: she recently pranked her state.
Separated at birth? Twin sistas of another mother?
Here’s Gretchen doing her 100-meter dash:
On Friday March 27th Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer threatened to revoke the medical licenses of doctors and pharmacists who prescribe hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus in Michigan. Four days later, March 31st, the same governor asks the federal government to send her hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus patients. Go figure. – Treehouse
Good one Gretchen! Loved the way you planned that.
So BFD, it’s April Fool’s day. Welcome to my world.

I just said on another thread, I’m glad I don’t have to work today, because if somebody tries to ‘April Fool’ me, I might remove their face from their head.
No one is on planes.
Halloween in time of coronavirus. Plan ahead. Virtual trick or treating?
Jim Acosta is an Every Day Fool, not just today.
I wish he’d go have a nice in person talk with Fredo.
Mrs. JimRed just asked me if I’d seen any census documents in our mail. I have not. She said that today is the final day to submit them; she just heard it on the TV. I suggested that it might have been an April Fools joke.

Amateur Radio operators are ordered to strictly observe the Coronavirus mitigation guidelines as they apply to amateur radio operating.
All ham radio operators are encouraged to stay at least 6 feet from the microphone in order to maintain proper separation from others. The distance may be reduced if a mask is put on the microphone.
CW operators should wear appropriate gloves when handling keys. Speakers should be securely covered with .01 micron particulate HEPA filters.
There should be no more than 10 stations on the same frequency at the same time.
Disinfect your knobs, switches, etc before operating ... especially touch screens and PTT. Shoe covers should be worn when using foot switches. Use of hands-free VOX is strongly encouraged although from 6 feet away, it may be necessary to shout.
Disinfect all antenna cables coming into the station.
Only mobile stations and walkie-talkie contacts are permitted where sit-down service has been banned. The 6 ft microphone separation guideline is suspended for these types of operation, but a mask on the microphone is strongly recommended.
Mobile operators are encouraged to remain in their vehicles except to get necessities.
Operators should leave their operating positions only for necessities.
Outdoor antenna work is allowed as long as there is social distancing among all who are present.
Hoarding of batteries, spare tubes, coax, etc. is discouraged and is unfair to others. We are in this together.
New equipment and parts should be ordered online for front porch delivery.
Do not test (tune) your equipment unnecessarily. That is wasteful and inconsiderate. Testing should be reserved for those who actually need it.
Your understanding and cooperation in this matter is mandatory while particularly observing the Effective Date.
True!
