RE: 2019–2022 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC POSTINGS
Virus particles are much smaller than the "holes" in masks. The fact is that virus particles don't float around individually. There are vehicles to which they are attached - like water droplets, dust and other particles that are filtered to different degrees by masks. Thus there IS some protective basis for masking.
Ever watch the slow motion picture of a sneeze and the vapor distribution? That's where the distance factors come in. Does 6 feet or 10 feet separation completely protect you? No, but there is some protection in distancing.

RE: Illinois I-55 or I-57
I notice you're from Kalamazoo. If you are heading to Michigan, take I57. There is little difference between I57/I55 and I80 from I55 to I57 is TERRIBLE.

RE: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
I was wondering about you and the hurricane. Hope you all come out without too much damage.
We spent parts of several winters in Crystal River. It looks like the whole city is in zone A and headed for a major storm surge. We also loved Homosassa Wildlife State Park and are worried about the effects of the storm surge on their residents.

Age, breed and history suggests patellar luxation as a possibility.
Medial patellar luxation.

RE: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
So sorry for your loss. Pickles was certainly special and you and Patty gave her a wonderful life. We're thinking of you both.

RE: Around Chicago west to east?
There are construction projects going on I80 in NW Indiana. I'd avoid at any time until construction is finished. US 30 is a poor alternative unless you like stop and go and many stop lights.
US 24 is a reasonable alternative, but I don't know if construction is taking place now.

RE: VacuFlush problems
Had similar issues and I had to replace the vacuflush generator a few years ago. My rig is a 2008 Southwind also made by Fleetwood. It seems like the generator has a limited life span. Fleetwood did a good job placing the generator in a location that wasn't too bad to access. Other than being a messy job, it wasn't a major pain. I got parts quickly from a marine service center while we were in Gulf Shores, AL.
That part has the pump and accumulator tank and is attached by two hoses and hose clamps.

Sonic Boom
In light of the recent sad news about the plane crash near Washington DC and the scramble to intercept that plane by F15s, I saw several video clips of people reacting to the sonic boom made by the F15s.
I got to thinking that many people probably have not ever heard or experienced a sonic boom. Having grown up in the St. Louis, MO area where McDonnell Douglas was producing F4s during the 50s (probably testing) and 60s (entered into service in 61), I remember common, if not frequent sonic booms as the sped away from Lambert Field.
Just brought back memories.
