    sorry HJ, I didn't understand your confusion, and I agree, there seems to be a lot of vagueness in that list

    I apologize for missing what your business is about...?

    I wonder about this.

    Brown ordered all campgrounds in the state closed as part of an emergency declaration when the entire US is under a federal emergency declaration. I wonder is the same controlling authority is at work which allows governors to call out the national guard

    my question is does Brown's order close all BLM and Forest Sevice campgrounds too?

    My problem is that the VA has quit providing me with an ambulance ride home after dialysis. I have to ride on a small VA bus that seats about five, two of whom can be in wheel chairs through a VA service known as VTS, Veterans' Transportation Service. The buses drop all these other passengers off first in crappy parts of East Portland where the housing is cheap and it takes them about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to get me home. Meanwhile I feel like dog shit after dialysis sometimes throwing up. When I get home it's all I can do to get to the couch and lay down while my wife fixes me a hot cup of tea with clover honey. I need that sweetened tea because it provides me with a shot in the arm so I can get through the rest of the day or at least until dinner.

    The National Guard is always under the authority of the governor except when the President nationalizes it as President Kennedy nationalized Alabama's National guard making them switch from preventing Black children from attending a White school to protecting those children so they could enter the White school.
    Federal parks are under the authority of the Feds and not governor Brown. Same goes for Federal buildings such as the VA hospital.

    yeah, I understand all that. I just remember reading somewhere that emergency declarations can grant extended authority to governors within the state borders when there's also a national emergency declaration in place

    I feel for you. My brother had kidney failure and spent a lot of years on dialysis before getting a transplant. He’s doing well now, but like others on immune-suppressant drugs, this virus has him freaked out a bit.

    I've got 7 risk factors for getting Covid19 coronavirus but I am not taking any immune system suppressant drugs (knock on wood).
    The only things I have going for me is that I see nurses often and get checked constantly for symptoms. I can't wait until they get enough test kits to give me a test for the virus. I'd also like to see my wife get tested.

    You do that dance too? I thought I was the only one. Even my wife won't do it.

    I own a party supply retail store. Obviously it's not essential but the Mr Peeps a block away is staying open and forcing their employees to still come in and work. It's not specific enough.

    Mr. Peeps? I guess I know what that's about. How do you keep out of there? Okay, just kidding.

    Damn.
    I've only been in one of those places three times when I was young and never since I met my wife. I joke and think of my younger years but I'm devoted to my wife in all honesty. Holy cow, now I've ruined my free wheeling butterfly image.

    she's basically made it discretionary for the non essential business owner. Not specific enough.

    Fat chance. I've seen you in Mr. Peeps and you hog the joint. Can't give another guy a chance. you put the five dollar bill in the machine and make the dancer shake her ass for five minutes then it's another five dollar bill. Just where do you get all that money and how do you get those girls to do those things? You know, the things no normal human being can do. Are they like all double jointed?
