Welcome / open talk

This is remarkable, uncanny, spooky how 'Event 201' is so much like what is going on right now with the coronavirus.

What is Event 201?

Now is a good time to take the family out into the yard (or up on the roof of your flat topped apartment/condo building) to see the International Space Station fly over at night.

Got a notice from VDOT yesterday through Nextdoor.com that the George P. Coleman bridge (Yorktown to Gloucester) and the Powhite Pkwy in Richmond are now NO CASH.

Well... this should be interesting.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the...

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Well, maybe we're all not over 70 here at the POI Factory but I know a lot here are and that's cool

For those who are now taking RMDs from retirement savings, you may want to look at the options now available for 2020.

This last week has been a long year and so it's been the little things, like Oldboy's Change History comments on the POI files he maintains, that have brought a smile to my face.

Thanks for your contributions to our POI Factory community, Oldboy!

When those charging are closed for business, due to the pandemic?

Meaning, they're not open for business, so one cannot get the services that the recurring payments are for. One can also not reach the business to stop the payments, because they are closed.

OK folks, let's help each other out a bit. This idea came to me as I posted in another thread about a visit I had yesterday with some friends. We conversed across the front lawn obeying the rules of social distancing but still being within eyeshot and it was truly uplifting after being quarantined in my house after work for 7 days yet.

I just checked Gas Buddy and there is a town in Wisconsin where unleaded is $0.999/gallon. Devlan, WI.

I live near Eau Claire, WI where is recently dropped to $1.499. Too bad we can't go anywhere.

The coronavirus stimulus relief bill offers direct cash payments of up to $1,200 for individuals and $2,400 for couples, with $500 added for every child, based on 2019 tax returns for those who filed them and 2018 information if they have not. The benefit begins to phase out for individuals making $75,000 in income and ends completely for those making $99,000 or more.

The Department for Homeland Security announced today that Real ID requirement will be delayed for one year. The new date is October 1, 2021.

I just want to share a project of mine to my fellow data-heads. I've created a web-app at https://www.omjroute.com/ which uses data abstracted from here for several layers (tools/set layer).

Also yesterday I created a query at Data_World for current Covid-19 files, parsed it into JSON and turned it into a layer in my app. Here's my blog post about it: https://www.oldmanjim.com/daily-status

Just wanted to post a thanks to all who maintain the POI files here!!!

The State Run Liquor Stores... ABC Stores, are installing intercoms... Purchases will be done via Drive-up in the near future!

Where I live the houses were reassessed and mine doubled.

It's unprecedented because I've lived here since 2002.

My buddy said you had better hope the mil rate is adjusted or your s******.

I didn't do anything illegal, have no improvements, etc.
