new PJ album is better than expected, but still blah compared to the good new music out there.  I barely even listen to PJ anymore, don't even have PJ radio as a preset in my car

F Me In The Brain

I haven't driven anywhere in my car in well over a month.  Started it for the first time in Saturday and let it run for a bit.
Pearl Jam Radio was on....

To have PJ Radio don't you have to pay for Sirius? Other than the free trial I had I've never understood the benefit of it, certainly not for the price.

not even to go to the grocery store or something like that?

I think i've driven maybe like 20 miles total since the quarantine. Like 5 times to the grocery store, once to the pet store, once to the vet and once to the record store to pick up Gigaton album.

I drive between 35-45k miles per year.  It's worth every penny.

You should drive it for at least about 20 minutes once a week, not just run the engine.

I mean I have the interwebs on my phone - podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, my gigantic music library on its own, etc etc - so I just don't get it. It seemed like an outdated model like 10 years ago, so it amazes me it's still around.

I love the brent musberger gambling channel.  Being able to listen to games (which I usually have money on) during road trips is a must.  Recently I've been back into howard stern, who is still funny.  It's like $60 for the year I believe - really isn't much.

I also caved and joined spotify premier.  Finally gave up on using my ipod, which really sucks for music reasons.  I am anti-phone streaming music.  Pretty much impossible to listen to live bootlegs these days.  Wish I was smart enough to create a solution for the glaring hole in the music storage/steaming market.

Also, how does andy macphail still have a job?

Been re-watching mad men during this government imprisonment.  Has always been my favorite show ever and second time through confirms this.  Fucking love it.

Ive gone nowhere I did not walk or run myself.  (And that would keep me within a 6 mile radius and those were just for daily exercise between 0-12 miles)

Being vigilant.  Even though I think we've had it in our household my wife has a compromised immune system and I don't see the point of doing it (or anything else) half assed.

I likely should drive the car around some, but without a place to go it seems boring.

Saturday felt like that - almost like people justified that they didn't want to go out out (to a park, walk, etc) but almost like going aimlessly for a drive was a happy compromise. Also, Saturday made me realize that absolutely no one is going to be able to do this in June/July/August. I very much enjoy every shore town basically saying, "Shoobie, go home!", then come Memorial Day they're all gonna be the mayor from Jaws.

I like the Mayor Vaughn reference.  So fucking true.
People down there are already bugging out, it is gonna be crazy if their economy gets messed with.

Clay Travis is possibly the biggest douche nozzle in this country.

Two things can be true at the same time. It is much less deadly than originally thought. Pretty sure the Atlantic had that in February. While it has also killed 50k people in 60 days while shutting down the entire country.

I'm gonna enjoy post-Covid and just gutting my family and friend network of all lunatics with zero regret.

agree on Clay Travis but found the numbers, if they are correct, to be quite interesting.  If/when we determine who is dying and why they are dying then we can determine who can return to some sense of normalcy. nothing wrong with looking at the numbers. with the rate of infection of this virus and that it was here before we really knew it, have to think that a large portion of us have already been exposed to it.

I found it a good sign to hear today that major league baseball is looking at a June return in home ballparks. Trying to be as positive as possible that we will come out of this to some extent sooner rather than later.

also thought the Blue Angels was pretty cool today.  Flew pretty close to my house in the 'burbs.

F Me In The Brain

Blue Angels flyover....would like to see how much that cost us.
