Yeah and 120 in Phoenix...that is definitely too hot.

It got to 99 today in Denver. They were expecting 100, which would be the first time we hit triple digits in 2 years. But 99 is damn hot enough...AC is on full-blast today.

I would say there is less risk of hiring in NYC than in many other parts of the country. While 300 new cases may seem like it's a lot, it's actually just a slight uptick from where numbers have been in the last few days and actually less than what they were even just in June. They are also doing quite a lot of testing in New York, (15,000-20,000 tests a day in many cases) and they are only seeing a 1-2 percent positive rate. That's pretty good and suggests there is not as much community transmission happening in the city. At the height of the pandemic in NYC, there were upwards of 70 percent of tests coming back positive. It's quite possible that since NYC was hit bad early, there might be some herd immunity there. Of course that hasn't been proven to be necessarily a thing with COVID, some scientists think it's likely while other say it's not happening. Like many things with this disease, it's pretty uncertain. But it does truly look like NYC is doing much better with COVID and I would feel way more comfortable hiring there then in Florida, Arizona or even California. Of course, ask some questions about how the escort is feeling, if they have traveled recently to any hotspots and if they have been in any large group gatherings. If you have a trusted regular guy, I'd expect him to answer truthfully. I was considering hiring a semi-regular masseur, but he had recently traveled to Texas so I told him I'd reach out to him again in a couple weeks. He was totally fine with that.

Escorts age shave all the time. A lot of above-40 escorts still claim they are in their 30s. Who cares as long as they still look the same as their pics and can perform well?

I'm kind of in the middle of this issue. A lot of airlines were making record profits for several years previous to the pandemic and should've been saving that money instead of doing stock buybacks to enrich themselves. American was one of the most egregious airlines, spending $13 billion in stock buybacks and doing very little saving when times were good. The other big airlines also did lots of stock buybacks but they also did save a significant amount of money as well and are thus better able to weather the pandemic storm. And frankly it's those airlines that I'm more likely to go with. Southwest is operating its flights with middle seats empty until the end of September at least. Delta I believe is doing the same. The CDC actually says that flying is not as risky for COVID as we think because of planes' air filtration and circulation systems. They say the real risk is being within close contact (six feet or so) or an infectious traveler. I am considering making a trip to NYC in September and will certainly choose the airlines that socially distance their passengers. I fully understand that flying during the pandemic entails some risk regardless. But airlines have been increasingly treating their passengers worse and worse. If I'm gong to spend my money on a flight, I'll do it with an airline that is at least trying to mitigate the risks to the health of their staff and passengers by following the CDC guidelines.

I don't have any problem with the expanded letters and think we should be welcoming to those who want to expand it. Intersex is important because there truly are people who are born with characteristics of both sexes, up to an estimated 1 percent of all births. Some of these conditions are very minor and most would identify with one sex or another, but some truly have ambiguous genitalia or hormone irregularities that prevent the secondary sex characteristics from developing during puberty. So the I in LGBTQI+ is truly a distinct thing separate from trans or other labels. I just think cisgendered gay men should be welcoming of all.

It's been a bit hot in Denver but not too bad...high 80s/low 90s most days with some nice afternoon clouds cooling things down. It's supposed to get into the upper-90s later this week though. But it's a dry heat here so it's actually not too uncomfortable. It was low 90s today and I went on a nice long bike ride. Slightly hot sure, but not scorching.

If you're into gardening, you can actually plant those bits of tomatoes in the soil and get a new plant from it. However, the tomatoes may not be the exact same variety as the mother plant since the tomato was pollinated and could have cross-pollinated with a different variety depending on how or where it was grown. If it was a farm full of beefsteak tomatoes though, it'll likely produce beefsteak tomatoes in the new plant. Just depends.

Yeah I don't think it was intentional, but living in Colorado there are lots of religious fanatics like Focus on the Family and Family Research Council who are very anti-LGBTQ and do kind of have a Christian nationalist message.

That's unfortunate. Good that Dexamethasone is pretty widely available then.

I'm not sure why they decided to not report hospitalization data. Some local health departments in Florida have been but it has not been mandated statewide. Apparently, they are going to start mandating hospitalization data now that the outbreak has gotten severe in Florida.

The CNN article is synthesizing some information from studies that go as far back as March. This mutation has been the dominant mutation in both Europe and the US since the outbreak basically first started. It's different from the one that originally came out of China (and was responsible for the first infections in the Pacific Northwest but not most of the ones in NYC). Therefore, most of the vaccines in development in the US and Europe are dealing with this COVID mutation, so it probably won't have a big effect on vaccines. In fact, they say that convalescent plasma actually has a really strong effect of neutralizing this mutant version of virus, which is great news for vaccine development.

I also think doctors and nurses know how to better treat the disease now than they did at the beginning. We now have two medications that we know help COVID patients with one drug dexamethasone proven to actually help reduce death rates (Remesdivir has only been shown to reduce the number of days in the hospital). These drugs with new knowledge on using oxygen and ventilators (and having more ventilators available) will likely prevent many more people from dying. The thing I'm worried about is busting our hospital capacities. It appears to be happening in Arizona and Texas and probably Florida (they aren't actually releasing COVID hospitalization data so it's hard to say). If COVID patients can't get the care they need, the death rate may very well increase again.

I know nothing about him, but I do really hate his RM handle. Makes him sound like a religious fanatic.

Yes, he still does rugby here in Denver. He and his partner have become somewhat friends. We've hanged outside of hiring. He has invited me to his rugby parties and man there are so many hot guys. He does go back to Ohio somewhat often though I think that's slowed down a bit with COVID. You should give him a call if you see him return to the Columbus area.

One of them does: Ruggergingercub. His boyfriend used to but now has a full-time job so stopped advertising. He's a scientist so he is a bit careful about COVID. He only agreed to meet with me because I showed him by COVID antibody test. So I'm not sure if they'll both come out. They are great guys though and Rugger is great on his own too.

Yeah I hear you. I think I lucked out with my regulars. They actually have a lot of fantasies anyway of adding a third to their relationship. Only one of them escorts regularly, but the other one used to before he got his full-time job that keeps him pretty busy. We all get along pretty well and have good chemistry so it works out well.

I've had the best success hiring couples that escort together. I have two regulars who are a couple and they charge just $300 an hour for the both of them, close to what I'd pay for just one escort's time. My birthday is coming up and I'm considering hiring them for an overnight.

Yeah I was going to say I think it was done by a client on here.

I'm glad you had a good time with him. My experience was good, but for whatever reason we just didn't click. Where probably a lot of people would find him confident, to me he came off as more cocky. But really it's just a matter of perspective and I would gladly recommend him even if I would likely never hire him again.

No personal experience, but one of my regulars has done some group stuff with him and he said he was nice, professional and better looking in person.

I always found the "Don't give two shits" phrase hilarious. Although I am sure there are some coprophiliacs who would love to take your two shits from you.

Overall, I recommend him. Here is my Daddy Review of him. To me, he is just a bit on the higher-end side and I have regulars that I like more. But he likely will be great for you.

I haven't met him for a couple years, but what I said before is probably accurate unless other people have a more recent experience.
