In 1967, Miami police Chief Walter Headley used the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" during hearings about crime in the Florida city, invoking angry reactions from civil rights leaders, according to a news report at the time.
Given the long family experience in this field, Peter Salk said he is optimistic about a COVID-19 vaccine. But he cautioned about racing ahead before one is fully tested.
"I congratulate the impulse on the part of the federal government right now to want to speed things up as much as possible," he said. "What concerns me is knowing that in the past there have been unexpected things that have taken place with vaccines that had not been foreseen."
Good morning! Happy Saturday. Finally the weekend! Three weeks to Summer unless you are a metrologist then it’s tomorrow 🏛. May 2020 has come and gone. Facebook friends tell me Monday is actually June but what do I know. Partly cloudy and 63 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 56 degrees. Much cooler than yesterday.
I don’t think my do it myself hair cut 💈 was that bad, I mean at least it’s a lot shorter and cooler feeling. I just keep pounding away at it with the shaver and the 1/4 inch guide. I’ve also chopped away at some of the big sticking up parts with scissors ✂ and around the ears. 👂 I did cut it a bit short on my forehead and I’m sure its a mess in the back but it’s sure nice being a heck of a lot shorter. Side burns are gone, goatee is short too. Will I buzz it even shorter? Maybe, I just don’t want a lot of bald scalpe showing and I don’t want the blade to dig in but it’s possible. I just don’t see my old barber 💈 shop opening anytime soon. I’m sure my barber is going to throw in the towel and honestly I’m no fan of wearing a mask 🎭 to get my hair cut or having to schedule a set appointment. So buzz cut it will be for now. I was totally inspired Southern Onondaga County Dairyman Andy Hourrigan’s YouTube channel with his short hair. 🐮 I bet his 1,700 cows don’t care how pretty his hair is while he’s hauling manure and silage. 🌽

Today I have to shopping. 🍏 I can’t avoid it anymore. Maybe bird watching at Schodack Island and then Aldi. 🍏 One thing I discovered from my cutting and shaving adventures today is that I definitely need more razors.

Taken on Sunday May 17, 2020 at Education.In January 2020, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected that the federal budget deficit (a negative surplus) would total $1.015 trillion in fiscal year (FY) 2020 and $1 trillion in FY 2021.1 Those projections are now obsolete because of the many actions taken by government officials to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. These actions, while designed to prevent a health crisis of an unknown magnitude and duration, have nonetheless helped trigger massive job losses and the shuttering of businesses. A deep recession is likely. The deep recession will further increase the size of the federal budget deficit since lower economic activity will reduce tax revenues and automatically increase certain types of federal expenditures (e.g., unemployment benefits).
