Gov Still Encourages going out to bars and Restaurants?

I think I’ll trust the medical professionals who say we are acting too late, if anything. I’m not one of them, medical experts I mean, but those guys make this their business.

Buncha danged ol' busybodies, makin' other people's business theirs, I tell you what.

We are gonna hang out in the bunker for a few days or weeks since there was a positive in town and they say he may have had it for awhile and transmitted it. Here, farm or fishing alone. Maybe some shroom hunting if it warms up. Might be a good season for them.

Just a few so far. We'll see if the others follow suit.

We have 9 casinos around Ponca. Haven't heard if any will be shutting down.
One benefit if they do is that landlords will start getting rent, and businesses will start seeing their bottom line increase.
It's amazing how many cases of embezzlement by employee we see around here to cover their gambling losses.

The WinStar and Riverwind casinos are closing at midnight Monday and will remain closed through March 31.

The facilities are owned by the Chickasaw Nation. Gov. Bill Anoatubby said the shutdowns are seen as "a way to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and well-being of our citizens."

WinStar World Casino in Thackerville calls itself the world's largest casino.

Riverwind Casino is located in Oklahoma City.

I don't know how much lost revenue that will be, but I'm guessin' it's a fair amount. And I'm pretty sure they wouldn't throw it away without good reason.

We stopped in the Windstar on the way back from Tx last week for a potty call and to get some ice cream from the DQ inside. We didn't realize how huge that place is. They probably deserve the title.

Take this to the bank because a buddy's child is GM of the Osage Casino in Ponca.
It took two weeks after the grand opening to pay for the entire construction of the hotel and casino. That's how much money runs through these facilities.

It’s very hard to tell if you’re kidding, trolling or simply misguided here

I think he (@donner) said it very well...
