Covfefe-19 Part 9: Shelter In Place is Temporary, but Wu-Tang is Forever

Oh, by the way, got tested yesterday. Turned out negative.

Apparently, I have a run of the mill sinus infection. Which is bad enough. Could barely sleep last night my head was pounding so bad.

Cross check it against Trump donor zip codes....

Biden needs to do an ad around Trump's blatant cronyism and political favoritism, and how it is divisive and anti-American. Won't mean a d@mn thing to the apes, but I'd like to think enough people in the swing states still care that it will have an impact.

Got in the mail an odd "newspaper" that pretty much is a tirade about this being a Chinese sourced thing.

But here's the interesting part that make no sense- on one hand, this isn't a big deal and we should open back up, on the other hand, it's a serious manufactured virus from China that is a threat.

Funny how it can be both at the same time.

I learned something interesting here in Minnesota yesterday about the way the State is enforcing some of its Covid rules.

Golf courses are open in the state, but of course you can't go into a clubhouse or bar or anything like that. Basically you can go out and play the course. I think most courses are following USGA guidlines that involve things like only one player per drive cart, inserts placed in the hole so you don't have to fish your ball out of the hole or touch the flagstick, and things like that.

Golf courses that have restaurants and bars have been permitted to continue to operate on a "take out" basis, like other restaurants and bars in the state. Originally restaurants could only sell food on a take out basis, but later the rules were amended to let them sell a bottle of wine or up to six bottles/cans of beer along with a food order.

But here is what I found out yesterday. You can go to a golf course and order food to eat, and take that food and eat it as you walk the golf course. You can purchase a can of soda from the golf course and consume it as you play the course.

However, you cannot purchase an alcoholic beverage and take it with you as you play the course. I have no idea as to the logic of that distinction.

I get that the state might implement a rule that says your restaurant is closed, but you can sell take out if they eat it off premises, then implement that same requirement for any wine or beer you might sell. By why allow the sale and consumption of food and soda "on the premises" of a golf course, so long as the premises are the course itself and not in the restaurant, but forbid it for alcohol? That makes no sense to me.

Minnesota isn't a place you look to for alcohol laws that make sense.

100% true.

There's a movement called "Free The Four Pack" to allow breweries to sell various sizes of containers, outside of the 64oz growlers and 750mL cans. IIRC, we're the ONLY state that doesn't allow that. Additionally, if a brewery produces x amount of barrels a year, they cannot even sell growlers (see: Castle Danger, Surly, Schell's, Fulton, a few others).
On top of that, the biggest producer of the 750mL cans is shifting production, so now there will be a shortage of those size cans for breweries to use. It's going to get ugly in the near future for those breweries.

The Epoch Times, lol. It's a right-wing rag quietly backed by the leadership of the Falun Gong cult in the interest of combating CCP propaganda with their own anti-Beijing propaganda. They're pro-Dump because of the whole "religious freedumb" thing.

Oh god them. They keep running awful Youtube ads. I'd rather see more of the ball-shaver ads than theirs.

Same reason you can't buy a beer at the bar and drink it sitting on the steps outside.

You need things like this explained to you?

That's a good point, actually. You can brown-bag it on the street, but that is not the establishment's property, unlike a golf course.

Which is also illegal, by the way.

Almost everywhere I think, except New Orleans, which is why New Orleans is a sea of p-ss.

It's not a good point, and it demonstrates that he didn't read my post.

Golf courses are apparently allowed to sell food and soda that can be consumed "on the premises," so long as the premises are not the clubhouse but are the actual course itself. But the same rule doesn't apply to alcohol.

If you're caught. Brown-bagging (or alternate container)...no one knows the difference.

I can say I have never done this, btw.

You cannot consume alcohol on the premises. Does it make sense? Nope. But them's the rules.

Of course, one could flask it, and the course wouldn't know the difference.

I understand that's the rule as presently implemented. But that was my question, what is the rationale for distinguishing between food and soda, versus alcohol?

It makes complete sense to me to have a rule that says a bar and restaurant can't serve food or alcohol to anyone in their premises, but if you want take out, fine. It also makes sense to include things like your parking lot or golf course in the description of the "premises."

Again, my question is, if you're going to make an exception to the rule prohibiting consumption on the premises (the golf course itself) for things like food and soda, what is the rationale for excluding alcohol?

"Premises" as the term applies to liquor sales, and their applicable laws, means the actual establishment itself, the building. It doesn't mean the front lawn. Or the driveway. or the parking lot.

Again, this needs to be explained to you?
