Looking forward to getting back to normal?

Here is a version I like better. @USMCDOC will understand why I like the verse that starts at 4:10 in......

my hearing is not good enough to be able to enjoy music anymore.. i can understand the human voice, but if they talk or sing too fast.. i have a hard time understanding what they are saying..

But i did look up the words.. i fully understand where you are coming from!

I've had to visit 2 doctors in the last couple of days and I've ask both, "when we getting back to old normal" and their reply is maybe never! We have let something we can't see taste smell or touch take our freedom away, I'm 67 and as I say all the time "I'm on the way out" but I refuse to live in fear. My fear is for my grandchildren and son.
 
I agree Dave and yes, liability is likely a real concern...but since when exactly, did the responsibility for catching the flu, a cold or anything remotely similar, become dependent on rifle matches instead of an individual responsibility? Crazy times we are living in, for sure.

I guess when governors started making unconstitutional executive orders limiting what we can do and how many can participate, is when it started. I can certainly imagine someone getting and dying of covid at a match that was held when/where or with too many people than "allowed", turning into a field day for some lawyer. I would say that a match held that violated one or more of these executive orders that ends up with someone getting sick, dying and/or spreading it to others putting a lot of liability on the club, club officers, match directors, the sanctioning body and possibly even attendees.

Again, crazy times, crazy lawyers and a crazy system without any value placed on personal responsibility.
Don’t worry the government will step in and save us all.Whether we like it or not

I’m sorry about your hearing but having someone else say it it makes me feel better about my own situation

oh and being around loud jets and working in loud prison housing units didn't help none either.. i am just now getting over the stress from that job.. it really did a number on me
 
For me it was mostly being young and stupid many years over 30 in the construction industry shooting pin guns that put nails into steel and concrete without hearing protection cutting metal studs on chopsaw’s also loud stereos when I was first Old enough to drive mostly done it to myself wish Knew then what I know now
 
I was fortunate that when I showed up for my first flight on a USAF, they had just figured out we needed to use earplugs. After 24 years flying planes and being around them I had no hearing loss.

However, I do now have mild tinnitus, and I think that is from playing trumpet in the upper range.
 
Sheep mentality surrounds us all. I don’t think back to normal is impossible, my little part of the world is getting there fast, another reason why I love rural Arizona. I feel for those in Metro areas, the over reach is insane.

My entire county started out with no cases and only a couple weeks ago we had two cases of the beer bug but things were always pretty much normal toilet paper was hard to find for a week or two no dentist appointments usually a couple people wearing a mask but most did not nothing like small town Tennessee baby
 
I have the good fortune of talking to shooters all over the country. Everyone agrees that we want to get back to normal asap. All I want to say is, its real easy to get back to normal. All you have to do is start acting normal again. When I hear about ranges canceling the whole season I feel like Im in the twilight zone.


Remember Normal is what got us in this mess. Let’s just modify life and not go back to what was....
 
Great to see Manhattan Transfer!
One of my favorite “Twilight Zones” driving to and from matches. Looking forward to seeing familiar faces ! no matter what our road back to normal entails.
