Sounds like California (or at least parts of it) have extended the 'shelter in place' order through the end of May. 1st heard that from one of Dad's cousins that lives out there. She's over 90 but still drives and is still active, or was, in the community. Now watching the birds is the highlight of her day.


As far as we know the bus company has not been allowed to open in California.


Some states, some countries have started opening a little. But it will be a couple of weeks before we see if we get a rebound.


In other driver news, farmers have had to start killing cattle because some of the packing plants either can't keep up or have completely closed.


There had been one left on the IA load board over the weekend but it's now back down to -0-. Tuesday night there were nine left out of MN but that was one third of the total load board.


We hadn't see this on the load board, but someone posted on our Facebook group asking if there were any restrictions on moving a lift truck from MN to CO. They didn't say where they picked it up.


And this AM on Facebook someone post a picture of two RV's out of IA with mountains in the background so someone is getting work.


We are getting antsy ready to go. What we may most likely do first is short/one day trips for either company so limited contact and no motels.


... and we are always talking about what we'll do when one or the other of us can't pass our tests and we are getting a good taste of that now.


Listening to our state update today we heard something that had us look at our time line. I may have had the virus back in Feb, I know a lot of people that think they have had it but I have a real good indicator. I was going to ask my Dr, but since they have gone to not seeing patients every question have an appointment. I'm not that interested so I canceled the info I had typed into the computer. I will ask if I can get a test in a month when I see the Dr.
