Just how difficult is it to install a bidet? And now the joke: Because it looks like it would hurt. Bidets supposedly are good for hemorrhoids too. Well, I don't need those. Thanks anyhow.

I am serious about my original question, however.

Well, John Prine. That just sucks.
Critical condition.

Well, John Prine. That just sucks. Critical condition. I just wanted to know the region of the country where he was hospitalized. After half a dozen articles, I still don't know but you can infer it's in Nashville, TN because, per one article, that's where he lives. Also, in one of those half dozen articles I read, Jackson Browne has also tested positive for COVID19, but it's probably mild because the article didn't freak out about his condition.

John Prine has serious health issues to begin with, unfortunately.

John Prine has serious health issues to begin with, unfortunately. He just went through a major bout with cancer. I went to school in Champaign, he and Steve Goodman would come down from Chicago and gig once in a while.

Anyone going crazy with the kids stuck at home all day with no school and you trying to get some work done while they tear the house down?

Appropriate for so many reasons.

Costco did something I hadn't seen since elementary school days.
There's a long line outside the store. The line moved relatively quickly. When I got near the front of the line, I noticed their queuing policy was different from other stores. For every 10 customers that walk out, they let 10 in. They make the 10 wait in line until 10 comes out. I'm not sure why they do this but I suspect they believe this will make the in/out process more efficient; that is, more customers can be processed in and out of the store per unit of time. I don't know if this is indeed more efficient but I got in and out of the store pretty quickly. And the checkout stations had, well, no long lines. In fact, I was the first one at my checkout station.
At Trader Joe's, for every one customer that walks out, one customer is let in. One in, one out. The line moved slowly. It's also a much smaller store.
I mention elementary school because when there was some activity inside an auditorium, groups of students were kept together until an entire group was let out. It was not one student in, one student out. Of course, this was done to make things more manageable for the teachers so that they can keep on eye on their kids more efficiently. You also don't want kids in one group hassling and mingling with kids from another group. That would be chaos.
I've never taken any classes on queue theory, something that's fundamental for Industrial Engineering and managers. But I wonder if this is some fundamental queue principle.
