"Gov. Tony Evers directed the state Department of Natural Resources to close 40 Wisconsin state parks, forests, recreational and state natural areas, most of them in southern Wisconsin..."

"... due to record attendance over the first two months of April [sic]. Evers said the closure is 'due to unprecedented crowds, litter, vandalism and out of an abundance of caution to protect health and safety and help flatten the curve.' The areas are planned to be closed at the end of the day Thursday and remain closed until further notice.... In an effort to minimize the spread of coronavirus at state parks and protect DNR staff, while still keeping properties open, the DNR waived entrance fees, closed state park offices, visitor centers and all non-essential buildings on March 24.... But without supervision in the parks, there were issues with visitors not packing their trash out of parks and not keeping six feet of distance between groups of people who aren't living together."

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

See? That's why we can't have nice things?

Who were these idiots who couldn't keep 6 feet of distance and take out their own damned trash?

What's next? Ordering us to stay indoors because we can't take responsibility for walking down the street the right way?

This is literally the douchiest thing Evers could have done. One of the very few things that people can do and enjoy - and safely - and he takes it away, with no proof of, well, anything. Perhaps there was an instance here or there where some garbage was left behind, but likely no more than any other day at a Wisconsin State Park. I have been frequenting Devils Lake and Gov Nelson twice a week and everyone has been extremely nice and doing the six foot thing. There is no garbage at either. How about close just the one(s) where there are actual problems? This sucks.

"There's something very strange about her... It is time that people found out about this house. Oh, weird things go on in here. They have powers! Supernatural powers!"

Said Mrs. Kravitz, the busybody neighbor who was actually right about weird things going on.



The actress, Mary Grace Canfield, whom you may know even better from "Green Acres," has died at the age of 89.

I'm afraid you have the wrong Kravitz in your clip. You're showing Alice Pearce, who played Mrs. Gladys Kravitz. Canfield was in only 4 episodes, playing Abner Kravitz's sister Harriet.

Oh! Sorry. You know, I almost figured this out, because I looked at IMDB for "The Disorderly Orderly." I was under the impression that the actress who played Mrs. Kravitz was also Mrs. Fuzzibee in "The Disorderly Orderly," and I didn't see that on Canfield's list. But here's "The Disorderly Orderly" on Pearce's IMDB page. Those 2 women sure did look alike, homely in the same way — a way which made for some great comedy. I'm sorry to see that Pearce died back in 1966, when she was only 48. And I'd just like to say that of all the movies that ever made me laugh, "The Disorderly Orderly" is in my top 5 of most laughing. I can only think of one other movie that made me laugh more. It's a Jerry Lewis movie that came out in 1964, and I was 13 when I saw it.
