+1 on that. After 3.5 years in the far east, depending on cast of features and body type I can usually distinguish between mainland Chinese, Korean and Japanese and can distinguish them from southern Asian. No good telling Thai from Laotian from VN, though. And names help a lot. I get a laugh when TV or movies have an obvious Japanese playing Chinese or Korean playing either northern Asian.

Ditto. Spent less time over there, but same experience. And the stunners are breathtaking. Good genes, Sam and Skye.

Do you mean that the actually have eyes, someplace….?
Golly-gee, was it racist for me to suggest this might have been called the Hong Kong Phlooey? Anyways, that was before I realized the correct name is the CCP Flu; the Chinese Communist Party Flu.
Or the ChiCom virus, or the Wuhan virus.
However we refer to it we can’t let Beijing rebrand this as anything but their own creation, whether by design or incompetence.

Dang, Skye seriously needs a man. Or a woman. Someone to bring her down a notch or two. She seems about as high-strung as a cat in a fiddle factory.
HEB – they make hot, fresh tortillas in the store. Don’t go in with an attitude as we’ve seen it all before and it isn’t attractive. A smile goes a long way and so does magnetism and the power of a negative attitude repels. I think “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Right. And every Florida Cracker boy learns to dive into palmetto patches to ketch a boarhawg and wrestle ‘gators before he starts school.

San Antonio and Bexar county are on full-on lockdown. Any licensed peace officer can enforce the edict with penalties including fines not to exceed $1,000 and/or jail time not exceeding 180 days in county lockup. According to the edict by the County Judge (head of county government ), this is based upon a Texas law dated 1975!
HEB seems to be running things sensibly by limiting (SEVERELY) the number of shoppers allowed in the store and spacing people out while waiting in line to check out. It’s likely Sam and Skye had to wait in a line just to get into the store. I deliver groceries (some of which I have to actually do the shopping for dammit) and because I “work for” (independent contractor) the delivery arm of HEB I get to cut in at the head of the line. They also have put a minimum tip of $10 for us doing the shopping. Ain’t much but it helps make up for a good hour – or more – spent roaming all over the store looking for scarce goods. Getting fewer “Favors” (as they call them) but actually making a tad more. Just a shed load more work. Whole lotta extra work when the store is out of a particular item/brand. Supposed to text customer with news of outage and offer alternatives. Takes time. LOTS of time!
OT, Greta Thunberg announced that she thinks she may have CCP flu and is self isolating. I wonder if stupidity is an underlying condition increasing the risk complications?
Oh, don’t worry. Thanks to The Miracle Of Modern Communications (TM), all of them can continue to lecture us all non-stop, even if they have to self-isolate at the Nazi Antarctic UFO base.

This is part of the Asymmetric war I have mentioned in the past. What do we do. elifino. Try looking some honey in the, a new one if you don’t have one already, and try to enjoy the bumpy ride. It may be an ellova ride. Yippee Kai Aye!

The ChiCom Bug is real. The insanity surrounding the promotion and response to it is not, at least not for the purpose of saving the economy, quite the opposite as it actively harms and damages it, possibly permanently in the case of closure of trade and destruction of equity markets.
Is the former the true reason and goal for much of the latter? Yikes.
I went to a local market that opened early for Seniors, Pregnant Women, Disabled and Immune System Compromised People. I was asked if I was 65. I said almost and I was there because my Husband was in the Stay at Home group. He let me in. Some shelves were empty, most of the meat was gone. The Produce section was well stocked and the Butter was decimated. The flour was done except for the 25 pound bags. A couple was discussing what to do with 25 pounds of bread flour. I said break it down into gallon bags. Easier to store. Give some away if needs be. Oh.
If anyone is of a mind you can see if there is a Community Supported Agriculture local to you.
Went to our local grocery this morning, after hauling three weeks worth of recycles to the drop-off location (they tossed the recycles for us old coots). No eggs, not a lot of beef, limited bread selection, no distilled water for Mom’s CPAP, but everything else was fine. All of us maintained distance from each other, and there was no line at checkout. Most importantly, the Blue Bell ice cream was fully stocked.
Later, drove to HEB over in Spring Branch to pick Mom’s meds via the drive-through. She had me put the debit card in an orange box, and she ran it through and did some pre-authorized initials, instead of having folks touch the device to sign. Again, no issues.
Went to HEB gas station. Grabbed a couple cleaning wipes and cleaned off the very, very dirty buttons before fueling up, then handed the wipes to the lady who drove up on the other side. She appreciated it.
Finally, drove to Popeye’s drive-through. No one in line at all, so I got our order real fast. Gave me just enough time to pull out some cleaning wipes and wipe off the bills before handing them to the cashier who had no gloves on. He handed me change and I drove to a good stopping place, secured all the food someplace safer than the passenger seat, then cleaned the bills and coins before storing them.
Yeah, that all sounds a bit paranoid, but I’m old, Spousal Unit is old, and Mom is 95. Not taking any chances with her health.
Of course nobody would look her in the eye! In a dress that short, and with the girls advertising, there are a lot of places a guy would want to look. Her eyes are not the first place that comes to mind.

Sounds like she reached rock-bottom and started diggin’
…to install blasting charges.
Skye, your smile should be infectious, please don’t act like you are infected.

Next time have Zed go with Sam. Even if it is against his natural inclination.
Do I detect a low-speed fisherman among us???????
Skye still needs to some learning…
In many venues.
Honestly, I don’t know a lot of Asians, so I’d be hard pressed to nail them by country of origin. Is that racist?
Nor racist, just not familiar. Spent a lot my career in east Asia. Considering looks, skin tone, name and such one learns to tell ethnicity.

Just the ChiCom Flu for short.
Or the ChiCom virus, or the Wuhan virus.

Well she went in to “handle the cukes suggestively”, might need to take them to the next level.

It would be interesting to see the level of destruction bag boy encountered. They would probably be searching for his gnads over in aisle 3.
Cleanup on Aisles 3,4, and 6, please, cleanup on …
Hardly. Probably just about every guy in that store knows how to rope cattle …

Now that is some funny shit right there….

It has to be abject stupidity in its most concentrated vapid form.
Drooling optional.
Which came first, the retardation or the ChiCom bug?
Greta Thunberg is self isolating.
And others breath a sigh of relief.
Maybe Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Shumer and Maxine can do some self isolating. Many would feel better with that.
Oh, don’t worry. Thanks to The Miracle Of Modern Communications (TM), all of them can continue to lecture us all non-stop, even if they have to self-isolate at the Nazi Antarctic UFO base.
I’d take my chances…

Those men were avoiding them controlling women obviously out on a hunt.
Control. That is what this virus war is all about.

I’d like to know when the Border will be shut down in Cali to keep the ChiComs from coming across. There have been over 1000 arrests so far. Arrggh.

great rant by Candace O on corona politics…
Apparently the ChiComs have banned Disney’s Winnie the Pooh because of a resemblance to President-For-Life Xie.
Winnie the Flu makes for a good meme …

Skye,
“Bag Boy” is sooooo 2007.
You are starting to show (instead of act) your age.
