I don't want corona virus talk to overwhelm the page, but I don't mind some virus discussions. The world is taking some pretty unprecedented measures and they are going to effect every aspect of our lives and we can address those things as a community. The economy will be a big discussion as well and it might be pretty depressing talking about it for a while. The virus and the economy will undoubtedly change our lives and our sport for some time.
As much as possible, I want to refrain from making things political, mainly because it's pointless and we're already over polarized as a country. So I want us all to keep that in mind when responding.
We are a community and right now we can talk about things that impact our lives. We're in uncharted territory. I know that this sport (and all sports) can function as a reprieve from our everyday problems and they can be an escape from our everyday burdens. Right now that's not a realistic expectation. Hopefully we can get back to 100% pulling discussion soon, but right now all of our lives are being impacted on some level or another. For those who don't want to read the virus threads... you don't need to, simply click on the pulling topics and skip over the topics you don't want to see. Better yet, don't just click the puling topics...for those who sit on the sidelines and want more pulling topics: chime in, share a pulling related thought, start a new topic, add pulling related discussion and add some uplifting content to the page. Be part of the solution if you you want more pulling related discussion.
Everybody stay safe and wash your hands.

This page is a free service. The cost is covered out of my pocket. It takes a great deal of time and a fair amount of money to keep this website going. Donations for: photos, classified ads, forum discussion, etc... are appreciated.
Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal.
