The City proposes to grant extraordinary powers to the Mayor, which include (starting on page 8 of the below pdf):

Violating parts of the Open Meetings Act
Ban sale of firearms and ammunition
Ban sale of any alcohol
Closing of all bars, taverns, liquor stores, etc
Ban sale or giving away of gasoline or other liquid flammable or combustible products in any container other than a gasoline tank permanently fixed to a motor vehicle
Direct the shutoff of power, water, gas, etc
Take possession of private property and obtain full title to same
Prohibit or restrict ingress and egress to and from the City"

Isn't this a bit excessive or is it just me? It feels like we're going to war lol I'm more concerned about the ordinance passing unanimously than the actual virus now
I was reading that. They won't do any of that. Just a bunch of crap being stirred up because of the odd rules of the old regs that no one every changed.

That said, Binny's has a good sale on booze this weekend. Time to stock up!!

Stocked up on alcohol, can't buy guns legally though (not a citizen)
It's America, surely you wouldn't be the only guy in Illinois who isn't exactly above board.

Went to lunch with a good friend yesterday. Restaurant was dead empty when we arrived. The wait staff seemed pretty happy to see us. I joked about needing a reservation at which point a guy popped out from a corner who looked to be the manager. Everyone got a chuckle out of us making light of the situation. Had a good lunch and won't lie...along the lines of MKSixer's post, I was distracted by our waitress' nice booty. However, she is a bit too young for me and I'm still in my MGTOW phase coming off of my divorce.

I am spending time with the cutest girl in the world all this weekend....my daughter.

Saw Zombieland Double Tap today (rented Blu Ray from Redbox). Was pretty darn funny. Especially the running joke with the Pontiac Trans Sport. Would have been gold if they used the Aztek instead.

This is something I hope to experience one day but won't lie....I'm dreading too. Fortunately, I have quite some time before this becomes a reality.

Reminds me of something else I'll be doing this weekend. Clean and lubing my AR and VP-9. Plus hitting the gym. Gotta set the routine to be pumped and cleaning my bang bang toys when I'm introduced to the future BF.

This is the first one I allowed to stay around. I like this kid. They've know each other since freshman year in college...almost 5 years. He went NROTC and is currently an officer. He's the first person in his entire family to graduate from college. Very impressive. They've been dating for almost a year.

That's awesome.

Hope my daughter will be so lucky. She's only 5 and she's growing up way too fast. She's already saying she wants to be a mom with babies when she grows up. It's cute but freaks me out a little.

Also, all my friends that have seen her and pictures of her in her dresses, she's very much a girly girly, said I'm in trouble. This brings up a saying one of my friends told me a long time ago:

"When you have a boy, you only have to worry about one dick. When you have a girl, you worry about all the dicks."

This.

There was one I had a particular dislike of and I told him, "If you hurt my little girl there is no place on the planet you can hide from me. Have a good evening." Never saw him again.

I'm planning on heading to my beach house next weekend. Might drive out with my bicycle to do some cycling along the coast. Might ride out on one of my motorcycles. Was there last weekend. Was shocked to see all the people hanging around during the off season. Was there with a friend that weekend and we had to wait 45 minutes for a table at a brewery/restaurant we went to.

Same here. Been sitting here with my Min-Schanauzer asleep in my lap while watching car shows on TV.
