4. No, postponed until June 2nd.

Most of us older people do not want to go out unless they have to. They were getting calls from everyone.

2. I quit going to the Y pool

Last Friday.

They do not want people 65 and up going out.

8. My hubby is

73 and still went to the Jewish community center pool yesterday despite my telling him not to. I am glad they are going to close. It’s bad enough my son’s been working overtime at a grocery store. I had to give up going to the pool last week ( we go to different pools, matter of preference). It’s just getting worse and worse.

9. My family convinced me not to go

But my common sense had already agreed with them.

He has taken some very unpopular steps and should be commended for it.

10. They have to file

A lawsuit to postpone the election. Husted is really good at lawsuits. But he lost every one last election.

11. Technically, the gov can't postpone the election, but a judge can

Franklin Co BOE just told me the early set-up for tonight is off, the judge will go along--Happy St Patrick's Day, y'all!
