Thanks guys....
At this point, I just plan to attend the cemetery service. I verified that I am allowed in the viewing, but probably not going to take that chance. No matter how they do it, I am thinking that will be a little too close for comfort with this stupid virus. And they are a much higher risk area than here.

what they did with my grand mother, was immediate family only. or by special request. How it worked is my Grandfather, masked and gloved (everyone had to be), would walk each group, we did it kids (with spouses) then grandkids (with spouses and kids) to the casket. then only 10 people were allowed in the church for the service, they had marks 6 feet apart for people to sit. then at the graveside, they had marks on the ground 6 ft apart as well.
Something happens to Mom she wants to be cremated. We can have a service later when this virus crap settles down.
Weird cant join, is there a delay to keep Frankie out now?

Space X and NASA and tornado watch at Cape Kennedy. That could be awkward.

I saw that. Skies above the capsule were pretty black. The first spring season I spent at South VAFB I kept thinking to myself "How in the hell are they going to launch a shuttle out of this miserable windy place?" Only place I ever had to use a chin strap on my hard hat
. I wore a snowmobile suit when operating equipment from november until june . September until Thanksgiving so hot you could barely stay in the sun
