It&#8217;s as if people had forgotten why they spent the last six weeks in quarantine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s crazy out there today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parking lots crowded. No social distancing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trailheads packed. No social distancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herds of teenagers walking together three inches apart.  No social distancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soccer practices going on. I&#8217;d like to say &#8216;no social distancing&#8217;, but seriously\u2026 WTF?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nuance appears to be lost on many people. So, let&#8217;s write down a date three to four weeks from now. Let&#8217;s go with May 24th to June 1. If we see a spike in Covid-19 cases at that point, we can conclude that our leaders screwed-up.  Yeah, there are financial pressures, but we&#8217;re playing the long game here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, perhaps case numbers won&#8217;t accelerate at that point. If so, maybe social distancing isn&#8217;t so important anymore, and we can go back to licking the handrails at Redstone 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I had to bet, I&#8217;d bet on the former. Just like the Powder Buoy in the winter, seeing what happened today tells me a storm is coming in a few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And like a light-switch, it turned back on.
