h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Are you also known as Mad Spaniard?

If so I have a message for you from Prof, he's offline for the forseeable future as his computer has given up the ghost, if you're on Facebook you can pass a message via lil

Ah...

Thank you for letting me know.

Hopefully he'll be able to get back soon somehow.

No worries

Just a quick note to say Prof's computer has died again, according to lil he'll be offline for a week or so

Thank you, Reefgirl.
Good to know, I should have checked here BEFORE I wrote a panicked email just in the last few minutes (1730 my time).
Back again to write a bit of a apology.

Thanks again, and I hope you are well.

MS

I'm fine thanks, fed up with lockdown but who isn't

Yep, same here, and things here might just get worse.

It's the same everywhere, when Lockdown eases, there's going to be spikes and new outbreaks, I would sell my soul for a McDonalds right now

Me double!!

I hope we'll survive the wait.

From 15th June most shops are allowed to open here in the UK, at long last, I can't wait

We're starting to open up hete as well.
Restaurants, barber shops, and other retail establishments are opening this month as well.

I just hope that the recent unrest doesn't create a spike in infection.

That's a forgone conclusion I'm afraid

That's true, unfortunately.
But the spike may very well be impossible to track or trace, making contact or control nearly impossible.
I hope our protesters choose not to hide in Los Angeles County. We're having a hard enough time as it is. We're the major hotspot in California right now.

I have friends in California, it seems whatever happens in the US, California bears the brunt

We do seem to lead the way as far as negative trends and events.

It's the price of living in a nearly endless Summer.

Droughts, forest fires, floods, landslides and civil disturbancce, often in the same year, that's one hell of a legacy

Yes.

I live in a quiet part of the city, at least for now. It was the same during the '92 insurrection, but my guess is that may change as Summer entrenches itself firmly in July. I can only wait and see.

I think we may have had our summer in May, June is very cold so far

Oh...
As I write this it is currently 95°F.
I doubt that you would find that a comfortable alternative.

There is very low humidity, so one doesn't feel like their boiling, but baking isn't much better.

It's raining here at the moment but it's supposed to be getting humid by the weekend
