I admittedly run outside with a friend (who I've been running with since pre-covid) without masks, but if we see someone on the sidewalk, we will run into the street or otherwise run way around him/her.

You were in your own office by yourself with the door closed and kept your mask on during the video dep?

Correct.

Why? No one wears masks. No ventilation that isn’t recycled from the floor and doors don’t keep out floor air. Can’t open windows. Was a super spreader event in March.

One of the people with Trump on his crazy call on Saturday to ask Georgia officials to fix the election for him was a lawyer named Cleta Mitchell, then a partner at Foley & Lardner. It appears she had been working for Trump without telling her firm. She has now left Foley.

One thing that Sebastian was totally right about is we no longer have to constantly listen to those hair-on-fire hysterical alarmists baselessly asserting that Trump is a “threat to democracy.” By the way, armed protestors have stormed the Capitol Building and those inside report hearing gunfire and explosions.

President Manchin will not stand for this. I expect he'll give a national address this evening demanding unity.

I get it. We have 5 total people in my office. Usually only 3 are there on any given day. We wear masks in the common space, but not our offices. And no one goes into someone else's office.

This is exactly my office. If the conversation cannot be done quickly from office doorway, we go into a conference room in masks.

Me too (but no friend), but had my worse running injury ever trying to avoid 2 walkers that were hogging the entire sidewalk on a street too busy to step into.

I am pretty sure your offices weren't ground zero where the whole floor got hit.

Trail running is my lifeblood. Certain days I can run for 90 minutes without seeing a soul.

They were -- literally -- trying to stop the counting of electoral votes.

Your trails look wonderful, but how far is the drive? I need to just step outside.

There are good people on both sides of this issue.
