"Oh Ronnie we can't do this. What will Nancy say?"
"Don't worry sweetheart. It's not like we are married or anything. I just want to smell your hair. What is that lovely scent? Chanel?"
"No it is just Dippity Do. I use it to get this hairstyle. All the girls in the chorus do."
"It's smells ....like Freedom. Can we be free Angie?"
"Sure just not with your hands. Who do you think you are sir?"
"I am your candidate darling and I want your vote."

One of the potential running mates reportedly on the short list of a potential presidential candidate isn't passing the sniff test. At least not to some of the citizens in the state she governs and not among the retailers who were given 8 hours to comply with the additional directives she released at 4pm yesterday, set to go into effect at midnight.
She went after the big box stores (Menards, Lowes, and Home Depot) with the following:
For stores of more than 50,000 square feet:
Limit the number of customers in the store at one time (excluding employees) to 4 people per 1,000 square feet of customer floor space. The amount of customer floor space must be calculated to exclude store areas that are closed under subprovision (2) of this subsection.
Close areas of the store—by cordoning them off, placing signs in aisles, posting prominent signs, removing goods from shelves, or other appropriate means—that are dedicated to the following classes of goods:
Carpet or flooring.
Furniture.
Garden centers and plant nurseries.
Paint.
By April 13, 2020, refrain from the advertising or promotion of goods that are not groceries, medical supplies, or items that are necessary to maintain the safety, sanitation, and basic operation of residences.
Also, Michigan residents are now not allowed to travel between two residences.
Witmer's approach to this crisis has been disordered, especially so in comparison to Ohio's which resulted in clearer directives and fewer issued, with Ohio's recent case count at 5,512 compared to the four times larger amount of 20,346 in MI.
After watching yesterday's press conference (poorly managed from a technical standpoint) it's my sense she and her fine hair are not yet ready for prime time and will not hold up well under a larger spotlight with more noses poking into her business.
The first 10 minutes reveal the polish and professionalism present. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkdMOrE_Szc
Add motorized boating to the list of NO.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced today (4/10/2020) that they are no longer allowing motorized boats on any Michigan waterway during the stay at home order. However, they are allowing kayaks and canoes. Those of us that enjoy the outdoors and only have a motorized boat are now not able to.
We were the last state in the Upper Midwest with a confirmed case of coronavirus COVID-19.
Yet Michigan now ranks No. 3 in number of coronavirus cases, behind New York and New Jersey.
Michigan has almost four times more confirmed cases than Ohio, three times more than Indiana, seven times more than Wisconsin and a third more than Illinois.
In Detroit, the coronavirus death rate per 100,000 residents is higher than that of New York City, the current global epicenter of the pandemic.
Why are the Michigan numbers so dire?
Call it a perfect storm of circumstances, experts say.
Among the factors: Detroit is one of the nation’s poorest cities. The Detroit metro business community has extensive connections with Asia and Europe, which were earlier hotbeds of coronavirus. Detroit Metro Airport is one of only two Midwest airports with flights from China and Europe after Trump’s travel bans. A presidential primary election that drew record turnout occurred the same day the outbreak was confirmed.
“We have several things that all came together at once," said Dr. Mimi Emig, a retired infectious disease specialist in Grand Rapids. “It’s rarely ever just one thing, right?”
“So we had the primary, where a lot of people were out and at rallies,” she said. “We have a high level of poverty in Detroit, so we have a lot of people who rely on public transportation and can’t social distance. We have a large international airport.
“Michigan did a lot of the right things," Emig said. “But Detroit was, unfortunately, terribly positioned for having an awful outbreak.”
From the start, the epicenter of Michigan’s outbreak has been metro Detroit.
Not only is the region the state’s most densely populated area, but it also was most vulnerable to a pandemic being driven by global travel.
“People think of Michigan as being sort of a sleepy Midwestern state,” Chu said. “But Michigan is more international than most people realize, given our auto industry and our suppliers, as well as the airport and the number of international travelers who come through here.”
Kalkanis agreed, saying metro Detroit may have been a victim of its global interconnectedness.
“Detroit Metro Airport is one of the top hubs in the world, and we have an incredible amount of commerce going back and forth to places like China and Italy,” Kalkanis said. “I think that level of international activity made us an epicenter.

When two of the Mmen flew home to MI from ATL on Mar 14, the TSA was not wiping down the plastic bins that hundreds of people were touching and depositing their belongings in for scanning.
As especially lovely pic of Angie.
The Gripper, No Capitol dippity do, and the Side-eye.
dippity-do has been curling, spiking, taming, setting, lifting, and holding for decades, so we know what we’re talking about.
