So Michigan high school players rallied at the state capitol for #letusplay. Same place the gun nuts went into to intimidate lawmakers.
And they took a huge group photo on the steps
Sigh. My home state.

This would specifically be for Fort Worth, so all Hiltons are available. I thought about staying in a Hilton Garden Inn, but was put off by, you guessed it, individual air conditioners.
Is there one that you think has a very soft bed (I’d heard Hampton Inn but I’d like it to have a microwave and refrigerator). Last time I went there I stayed at TownePlace Suites by Marriott. The room was nice and brand new but the bed was not comfortable (way too firm).
Homewood.
If you struggle with hotel beds grab one of these for travel. Cheap and can really take th edge off a a hard bed. Europe. Yikes.
Do we believe the man who killed Billy the Kid?
But Pat Garrett, spokesman for Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, said Friday evening that the abrupt increase is a one-time event, reflecting the addition of antigen tests to state numbers.
The results of about 10,000 antigen tests, previously marked as “inconclusive,” were updated as positive or negative — thereby boosting the number of cases and the positivity rate.
“The test was already counted,” he said. Now the antigen results are added in.
I’m for sure going to get that when I get to travel again. How easy is it to pack?
Hotel beds are an absolute nightmare for me. I just use all the pillows to set it up on an incline and it still results in a lot of back pain and usually nothing near an 8 hour sleep (not that I ever get that anymore anyway). Thank you lifetime of golf. I’ll give Homewood a shot. I have a friend who was high up in Hilton until recently and she told me the secret to Hilton beds was to ask for ones with a pillowtopper. Does this seem like a normal request in your travel adventures? Is it something they give you or just part of some of their beds?
He’s probably right that number is an aberration. This speaks to the giant testing problems the country is about to see. This is what happens when you build giant lags into the system. Any state where you see 700 positives and no negatives (any place with any positives without negatives or with wildly varying daily testing) means they’re on a lag and are reporting a test before its result has come back to, you guessed it, keep their positive percentage rate down. Right now, testing is in full on b.s. mode. There’s no real way to tell what’s going on, in my opinion.
Eh, I mean as someone who lives in Iowa there’s no way we’re anywhere close to 79% positive. Testing is plentiful and low cost or free, and case numbers aren’t that high. Positive rate is in single digits in my county.
Do you mind revealing what county you’re in? Iowa’s numbers have become very alarming in the last 10 days or so (aka Sturgis/back to college effect).
I prefer to keep that part purposely vague.
Um, I’m pretty sure Iowa is just one county called Iowa
I would be curious if there were stats of symptomatic positives vs asymptomatic positives and how those have trended over time.
Anecdotally it feels like it’s way more asymptomatic now, which to be honest has been really messing with my head on this.
Doubt anyone’s tracking that.
They’re easy to pack as you can roll them up pretty tightly. Just get a smaller one, or cut it down to be a little wider and longer than your body. No need to lug a queen size foam pad if it’s just you using it.
99 actually, but I think the only reason they have so many is to mess with politicians who feel the need to brag about visiting every county in the state during the campaign.
Those roll up pretty small. Ok for car but not for plane most likely. There are some travel ones I think. Maybe air bladders for camping? Not like a full air mattress.
I had an idea of taking my own topper in a vacuum bag to save space. But if airport security pops it open it would never refit.
I have slept on top of the comforter. For more cushion. Pro tip- get two double beds so you have two chances. Also two comforters to pile on if needed.
I would call if you have relatively equal hotels and ask about pillow tops.
I shit you not, it feels like your standard local euro hotel just has a sheet on plywood. I’d get away from the small town to the Hilton garden inn in a bigger town on the weekend in Italy for a project. Help I was working 18 hour days. Pass out more than sleep.
Is it true that if a man and wife from Iowa move to Minnesota and get a divorce that they are still brother and sister?
Good point. Have done that even at home when I wanted a bit more cushion on my side.
If you take out the 1,000 antigen positives they added in, it was still 48.6%, unless I’m missing something else
covidtracking didn’t show this anomaly yet.
Well if I’m the first UPer to get covid it won’t be very shocking. I’m in Denver which I got cajoled into driving out to by my Mom, my aunt and my “sister” and her mom (we’re all old family friends). So I drove out and surprised my mom, after spending a couple days at Great Basin NP and at my cousin’s in Jackson Hole (where we were pretty socially distant).
I was going to camp out on the deck, only hang out outside, never share a car. Barely hug my mom. Etc. All out the window. It rained today so we played Pictionary inside. Lot’s of laughing and yelling. Everyone touching everything like it was 2019. Awesome. Just ate at a Holiday Inn restaurant, inside.
Just praying no one has it at this point. At least I know the odds are pretty low that one of us is in that 2-3 day asymptomatic shedding phase. But the consequences could be disastrous. Lots of olds and my sister has an auto-immune disease. I don’t know why I thought it would be any different or that I’d be able to hold out against the group.
