I work from home 100% of the time and have been for years. I make my own hours, make great money and love what I do. But you have me all figured out, don't you? A conversation with you is a waste of my time. Enjoy yelling at those damned kids to get them off of your lawn.

Oh you work from home?  I was most certain you were Herman Cain's personal physician.  That would be the only way, in my opinion, that you would know with the amount of certainty you've expressed where he caught the virus. Wait let me take that one step further.  His personal physician AND personal assistant.  So you'd also have been with him 24/7 the past month.

Lol, you called me a ditch digger. I guess you had me all figured out first. I'm sorry your life hasn't turned out as successful as mine.  Keep licking those envelopes, maybe you will be able to retire when you're 75.

I'm speaking of your contribution to the collective thought process. Anybody who spends any time here knows exactly what you will think about nearly anything. Never an original thought outside of that conservative mediatainment box. An NPC ditch digger, if you will.

Cute. It is quite a coincidence, though, don't you think? It's certainly more plausible than the deep state, qanon, Fauci created Covid or any of the other conspiracy crap that is routinely spouted and touted in here.

Even that still tells you nothing definitive about where he might have become infected.  The best tool we have to trace with any degree of certainty where a patient might have become infected is viral genome sequencing, and that certainly won't be happening in this case or anywhere outside of a controlled scientific study.

No it's not a coincidence. It's a wild speculation  A coincidence would be if a LOT of people that attended that rally maskless contracted the virus.  How many confirmed positives from people who attended the rally maskless?

Kind of like food poisoning.  I was talking with a lawyer who defended food poisoning cases. She said its the easy work every.  In court she asks the plaintiff if they gave a stool sample within 24 hours of either the first symptoms or eating at the restaurant I forgot which.  But either way the plaintiff response is almost always "no".  Case dismissed.

This thread is reminiscent of how the John Lewis obit thread got all political and petty. Oh, wait... It didn't?

With food poisoning the answer on the sample should be yes, several samples.  Keeping the samples is another matter.

I'll let you fellows work out the details of your squabble, but I paid about $13,000 to a ditch digger a few years ago.  He was a magician on a backhoe, balancing that machine on uneven ground as he trenched alongside a 70 year old foundation.  Amazing guy, professional, trustworthy and a true artist.

 

One thing my roots in WNY taught me was that honest work is simply that, honest work.

No ***** (pun intended) "you're damn straight I provided samples.  Twenty*****yfour hours straight of sample giving but flushed every one of them."

That's why I always hand out samples of my stool Chef, usually while still warm.  One can never be too careful.

I went to BOCES in Batavia during my senior year in 1979.  I had all the credits I needed to graduate a year early but didn't want to so I took half my day to get the hell out of school.  I took a conservation course.  Perfect for us.  We could smoke weed and drink beer while we cut down trees at the county park.  Anyway we were taught how to operate a backhoe.  You guy may have been a magician but it's actually quite simple.  Trust me if a 17 year old stoner can dig a trench and steer the tractor with the bucket anyone can.  LOL

The funny thing is that when it's a left cause (climate change, Covaides) it's science. If it's a counter from the right (or critical thought, real observation) it's a conspiracy theory. Hell the two biggest conspiracy theories are climate change and Covaides. You have seen no evidence of either in real time, real life. Only what the new deity (MSM, Scientists) shovel you. You guys are sounding more and more like fundamentalist religious zealots than anything else.

Perhaps so.  In my case the site was tricky, a number of large boulders/trees in the way, the foundation impactful etc.  In fairness he also prepped and installed a septic system for me, leveled a boatload of land and graded the ground to assist with water runoff.  

 

When I graduated in 1979, I never considered BOCES, so I never got the heavy-machinery-while-high experience and perhaps shall add it to my bucket list. 

 

I moved out of WNY shortly after college was completed and now live near Albany.  When I go home, I feel like I'm there when I pass Batavia Turf Farms just off the NYS thruway.

Dude nothing scarier than a bunch of 17-18 year olds stoned out of their minds on backhoes, bulldozers and chopping trees down with chainsaws.  Hell we even had one guy show up to class with a mason jar of moonshine that got passed around.  I have a boatload of stories about that leaning experience.

Cool.  Glad you got to discuss his feelings of the virus before he died.
