Over 1,000 cases of Coronavirus in the USA and probably rising
Today From NBC News;
Here in New Jersey there's 23 cases and 1 death thus far. The leading NJ universities, Princeton & Rutgers, have both decided to offer online instructions and to cancel in person classes for the near future.
Both Philadelphia and Boston have canceled their St. Patrick's Day parades due to the threat of virus spreading in crowds. In California the Coachella music festival is canceled for the same reason.

Updated March 11, 2020, 12:05 PM EDT
The United States now has more than 1,000 people infected with coronavirus — but testing in the U.S. is still ramping up, meaning that number could continue to climb.
Meanwhile, the governor of New York has questioned the number of people who have been tested for the virus in the U.S.
“When they do the retrospective on this one, they are going to say, 'Why did it take the Unites States so long to bring up the testing capacity?'” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on TODAY on Wednesday. On Tuesday, Cuomo announced that he was implementing a "containment area" around a one-mile radius in the city of New Rochelle, home to the largest cluster of coronavirus cases in the country.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said that more than 8,500 specimens have been tested for the coronavirus across the U.S. Because multiple specimens are required from each individual, the number of actual patients who have been tested is likely far lower.

Kissing frogs
Why, WHY, go looking for more frogs to kiss when you already met someone? Don’t we join singles website to meet someone special, to buy a ticket in the love lottery and hope to hit the jackpot? Okay, not every ticket pays out, not every date rings the bell, and a lot of princes and princesses are depressingly slimy and croaky in the flesh. 
But if you’ve met someone and you’re seeing them regularly, it’s looking good, and more to the point, they trust you, STOP FCUKING AROUND.
There ARE people here who are openly in relationships, enjoy the blogs, and are utterly trustworthy. There are others who simply cannot resist temptation, and if you are one of those, remove it altogether. GO. Leave CS, leave singles websites altogether, tell the truth when others flirt with you, give your relationship a proper chance.
I do, we all do, wish you all the best luck in the world if you do
Oi. This is not about me!!!! I am single heart-free and very available
And yes
have a tendency to interfere and give advice. But no other major faults. Cross my heart

Tips to date a Spanish woman
Tips to date a Spanish woman.
I do recognize I'm not the typical Spanish woman, but I have a good idea what Spanish women like and expect from a man.
Spanish women are exotic and have a style of their own.So here are some dos and don'ts if you are planning on dating a Spanish woman.
1. Learn to be patient. Because she will always be late.
2. Be a gentleman. Most Spanish women still love it if you bring them flowers or chocolate. Be romantic.
3. Do not be scared of enjoyment. Partying, late nights and good drinks are all well appreciated by Spanish women, so don’t worry about letting yourself go.
4. Don't try to win an arguement. She is "always right".Spanish women don't like to lose an argument.
5. Do pay the meal. Thats expected, and you won't be disappointed if you do.
6. Don't talk about your Exs. Totally off limits unless you want trouble.
7. Do it with passion or don't do it at all. Be affectionate, straightforward, out going. Make sure she knows you are interested.
8. Do pick her up and drop her off.
9. Avoid unnecessary criticism.

An Amusing Conversation
I received a PM from a 26 year old, obese Asian girl with a very cute face. She claimed to be a professor living in Cape Town. She has two photos in her profile. The other one is or a slender woman with blond hair. Both were taken at recognizable landmarks in Cape Town. Normally I would have deleted it but I decided to have fun with her/him.
Her | Feb 3, 6:00 AM

Her | Feb 4, 5:25 AM
Hello u r annoy with me hmm
Myself | Feb 4, 5:36 AM
No, Sweetie, You're just too young for me. If my grandson was three years older I would have introduced him to you.
Her | Feb 4, 8:02 AM
Soory if yiu can break my back in such old age imagine he will not break my ribs in young age???
Myself | Feb 4, 8:11 AM
You are a naughty girl for the job that you are doing. I pity your students.

Myself | Feb 4, 10:39 AM
They tire too quickly. Cannot keep the pace.
Her | 24 hrs ago
How quickly? I will manage for you as you wish
Myself | 24 hrs ago
I told you that I'll break your back. Now, jokes aside, I've been around for a long, long time and don't believe a single word in your profile. You're just too streetwise to be who you say you are. It was kind of fun talking to you, whoever you are.
Her | 20 hrs ago
U are a lover of whom? Realy i liked u thats why msg u. Otherwise too many people msg me but i am not intrested in any one. Sory for hurting u. Actually i am very crazy and funny
I did not reply yet. Her last message has me worried; am I playing the fool with a real person? Suddenly she sounds lonely and not like a scammer. But she started it off in the wrong way and her profile is not kosher.
May you have a whale of a day.

Like a Stunned Rabbit
With her mesmerising eyes, I was like a stunned rabbit in the glare of the oncoming trucks headlights.
Frozen, to afraid to move, and if I could move, which way would I go?
Her smile is as wide as the ocean and as bright as the brightest star. It too kept me in a trance.
Her cheeks, rosy and round, the long flowing locks of her hair fall below her strong broad shoulders.
Here I am trapped, but I don’t feel trapped, more like stuck in some sort of time warp.
Everything is moving in slow speed, but in reality, travelling at a million miles an hour.
I brace for the collision, the colliding of hearts banging together to beat as one.
Emotions are stirring within, Emotions that tingle like pins and needles. Emotions I thought were no longer possible.
Like a tsunami, memories are gushing back, good, funny, sad, haunting memories, it felt right to share.
Her voice is soft, pronounced, commanding, and sweet, it has a magical ring to its tones.
Though the world is not perfect, just now, it is for me, the feeling of excitement, like parachuting for the very first time, like skiing down the mountain and not falling.
Everest was conquered, and I’ll conquer this mountain as well, for what waits atop, is more than I could possibly deserve.
Not a new man, but a refreshed man, a man with more purpose in my life than before.
This is my second chance at achieving a fulfilment we all have seeked at one time or another.
The lessons I have learnt are now invaluable.
If this is a dream, I do not want to awake, Should it be a dream then I intend to make it a reality.
The above was inspired by someone who has turned my life upside down and inside out, shaken and dusted it off.
To that person,
THANK YOU
Traveling in Southern Africa
I see a lot of people did some extensive traveling around the globe. Well, I also did a bit of traveling in my day. I visited a number of neighboring states and I had an extended visit to Angola, and few shorter visits to Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, & Botswana, all by courtesy of the South African Defense Force.
The hotels were generally bad and the food was worse, so we mostly slept in the open veld eating canned food and drinking water that we carried with us. I don’t think they had any airports at the time because we had to jump out the flossies (transport planes) from 600 feet. What I enjoyed most of these visits was the complete lack of passport control. They never asked us for passports. There were no delays in entering or leaving the country.
I even met a celebrity like Dr Jonas Savimbi on two occasions. He was such a charismatic man! I wonder why they assassinated him.
I did not find the people very friendly; they were shooting at us on sight without asking any questions. It is no wonder we went there armed to the teeth. Maybe they did not want to encourage tourism at the time.
No chance for a game of golf, but we did play some Hopscotch on the minefields.
Regrettably, I never got to see Luanda. We were 38 km from the Angolan capital when we decided to go home. It is strange that we never got to see the capitals of any of the countries that we visited. The only exception was Windhoek in Namibia, which we saw quite often. At least they had a better sense of humor, they did not shoot at us.
Actually, I would like to visit those countries again. I wonder if tourists are more welcome now.
May you enjoy this day.
PS. I’ll be missing for a few days. I’m leaving tonight.
