Enhanced Community Quarantine

In a few short days, our province will go under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in order to get a handle on the COVID19 virus currently terrorizing the planet.

Each household will be issued one pass in order for one member of the household to leave the home under certain circumstances.

Those being for medical emergencies, trips to pharmacies, banks and grocery stores, and a few others.

The first image shows the ins and outs of the ECQ. The second image is of actual passes. My understanding is that the ECQ will last 14 days, unless the Provincial Governor feels it should be extended.

We'll see how this plays out.

Number 62 - Revisited

While taking my son to school this morning, I spotted this VW Beetle parked along Hibbard Ave. When I returned home, I checked my records and it turns out that this Beetle is one I posted on April 26, 2019 - VW Number Sixty Two .

Clint, Say It Ain't So

It's not easy for me to criticize Clint Eastwood. I've been a fan of his since the days when he played Rowdy Yates in the t.v. series, Rawhide. I'm a bit confused, however after reading about a couple of comments he is reported to have made in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal.

For the article, he spoke briefly on his two year term as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea in the late 1980s.

One of Mayor Eastwood’s first acts—widely reported at the time—was to reduce the onerous municipal prohibitions on the public sale of ice cream. More than three decades later, he laments that the Golden State is “like Regulation City right now.” An excess of rules is “making California a place other than a democracy.”

Fine, I certainly approve of any attempt to reduce government regulations. However, at the very end of the article, Eastwood is quoted as saying, regarding the upcoming Presidential election, "The best thing we could do is just get Mike Bloomberg in there".

Wait a minute. As mayor of NYC, Bloomberg was the emperor of the "sugary drinks portion cap rule" (aka soda ban). As mayor, Michael Bloomberg never saw a government regulation he didn't love.

If Eastwood is critical of California being "Regulation City right now", how could he support a candidate that would make the entire U.S. just like California?

Eleven Million - Plus

In January of this year, I made note of the fact that the photos I've uploaded to Google Maps had received more than 10 million views. Today, I am pleased to say that my photos have now received in excess of eleven million views.

As I've mentioned before, I don't receive any financial benefit from these photos - this is strictly a hobby for me. Never the less, I'm proud that my photos have been viewed so many times by folks looking for information about the locations I've photographed.

Two Toned Beetle

After dropping my son off at school this morning, I thought I'd take an alternate route home in order to take a few photos for Google Maps.
Mission accomplished. I was able to add photos of Hayahay Treehouse Bar - Lantaw Native Restaurant - and - Cafe Racer.

Just as I passed Cafe Racer, I spotted a VW Beetle parked on the opposite side of the street. I parked my car and took these photos. This VW is # 68 in my collection.
