There's a couple of us

The only thing that has changed for me is the fitness center I would go to a couple times a week in the winter or bad weather closed.

I usually go to the grocery store once a month anyway.... so I went 2x in March before the lockdown. Once the garden starts producing I will not go until winter

Make that 3.

I might leave my cheeseburger a bit pink in the middle, but steak and lamb is what I really like nice and pink....

I want to shop where you shop!!!!

London broil here is $6-7 a pound and ground beef (the cheap stuff) is $3.50 a pound.

We get whatever is on sale, not always that price, usually either roasts or London broil $1.99, sometimes it's NY strip ground for tacos
(Just kidding couldn't do it, and figured paying for the bone in them prob basically same $ as the ground)

Happy to know that I am not alone! I wouldn't need to go to the store weekly if I had not let my garden go last summer. I lost one of my show horses unexpectedly and it damn near broke me. I had him 18 years and trained him. A couple weeks after I decided to try and salvage what was left of my garden. Ended up killing a diamondback in it. Needless to say, that was the end of that garden.

I grew tired of having to drive to the gym so I turned my formal living room into our gym, free weights, elliptical, treadmill, tv on the wall for workout videos. I really hate going to town!

So sorry about your horse.

Your workout room sounds awesome though!!

My dad buys boneless beef roasts when the price is marked down and slices them into steak and stew meat.
He also buys big pork butt roasts on sale (at 99 cents a pound), debones them, and makes them into roasts, chops, or stew meat.

NY strip ground for tacos

Well that is about all it's good for IMO. I love steak, NY Strip is the worst of the worst, I'll take a plate sized top round with A1 over a NY Strip!!

Here's an interesting article from Scientific American about the potential for habitat destruction to make pandemics more frequent.

I've always contended that overpopulation is our biggest threat.

That's what the virus is trying to sort out though isn't it. We've killed off all the big predators so now the little ones are having a go.
I think they're in with a shout. Maybe not this one, or the next but they'll get it right eventually.

Have either of you read The Hot Zone or The Coming Plague?
