And I still don't really feel to bad for them, oddly enough

I feel bad for their employees, who are now not working.

Same here. I have a few friends that work for either Alaska or Delta, only 3 of 5 have seen a reduction in their hours.

I have a relative who is a pilot, and the only reason why he's still able to fly is because of his seniority. But the rest of the crews are hosed.

Gas down to $1.59 in my area.

We get our gas at the Tigard Costco. We pay $2.74, with the 3% discount, this becomes a shade over $2.65 per gallon. We're paying more than $1.06 per gallon more than you. Where do you live, Saudi Arabia?
 
$2.74?? Damn, Bay Area there would be a line!

Fortunately I rarely drive these days.

I've always thought you were from Georgia, but I guess I had forgotten for sure.

Born in Jacksonville (Ft George Island) but I was a military brat...we were stationed all over, San Diego, Memphis, Bermuda, Memphis again, Key West, Albany Ga., then moved out to the country about 15 years ago.

Been awhile but I've been there. Even before this virus thing, I avoid going anywhere near Atlanta...it's nuts trying to navigate traffic up there.

To give you an idea of how far out in the country we live, we're 12 miles from the nearest convenience store, which I suppose, makes it "an inconvenience store". :bgrin:

Atlanta was crazy when I lived there 55 years ago.
I remember that we bought beer in one country, drove through a dry county on the way home and arrived home in a wet county. Insane. My father was working as a bricklayer bricking up houses in a development. One day we had to stop by to perform some errand. We knocked on the door and the owner came to the door. During the small talk the owner disclosed that he was an electrical engineer. My dad replied that his son was studying electrical engineering in his first year of college. The guy took one look at me in my dirty clothes and you could see a look across his face as if he wanted to say, "oh, sure he is." in a very condescending way. Well, fuck him, I got both my degree and later earned a professional license which I doubt he ever achieved.

Ha !...cool story.

Yeah, the easiest way to get me to do something is to either tell me not to do it or tell me it cannot be done...I'm one stubborn mofo, always have been.
 
Dow Jones at end of day April 06, 2020
Up 1,600. Good news.

Tell us a story about those banjos you often hear in the distance.
 
Up nearly 700 points this morning. The market is reacting to coronavirus slowing

You know what I found interesting was that there was a music compilation from Portland musicians and about 1/4th of them seemed to be drummers. Someone else posted one from france it was like 3/4ths violinists and cellos.

Uhhm, you do realize that movie was filmed in Georgia. Right. Don't you live in Georgia? As far as Nashville is concerned, it's quite a cosmopolitan city. You should check it out sometime.
