Whoa, those two Great Clips stylists didn’t infect any of the 140 ppl they exposed. That’s amazing and really demonstrates the power of masks and hygiene.
I don’t know how early you can eat on a weekday, but at 5pm there were only 3 tables sat, and it didn’t get crowded. It was nice also to be able to drive over there. During normal times we wouldn’t even attempt to drive in that area because it would be gridlock, but we could zip right over yesterday. A lot of the places we can walk to just have a very small sidewalk seating area but this place has a parking lot.
They should probably do temperature checks too.
There’s been no word yet on when we’ll go back, but we’ve had updates all along that they’re working with an advisory board of experts and actually modeling different scenarios. The office was already too crowded and they had moved away from any assigned seating, so it’s gonna be a huge undertaking to make it safe. Also people were always jamming into elevators and using multiple floors and conference rooms.
I also dread taking the T again.
Last night was my first experience doing something other than grocery store or pharmacy in almost 3 months, and sitting at an outdoor table far away from other tables felt fine. Not really ready for anything more right now.
Things are pretty good right now. A big seafood restaurant in Cambridge has a tent out in the parking lot and we had margaritas and fish. We bought a round for two African American guys and then they sent us shots of tequila.
Also, one of them is a dealer at the casino, and they’ve been paying him PLUS tips this entire time, and it’s not even opening til phase 4.
The stock market has recovered all the year’s losses, but it’s going to fall again. I think some older people have realized also that Trump gives no fucks if they die, and in fact would like them to die for the sake of the economy. I think that’s turning some of them around.
Ron, I don’t care who they are. I’ve had plenty to say about white women too.
Two separate but related points: 1) the racist men or women who put Trump in power and now realized they’re not better off, 2) The justifiable anger from people of color who’ve been under the thumb of white men in power for 400 years.
We’ve already violated the forum rules by repeating ourselves too much, and you acknowledged that you can’t change my mind, so not sure why you’re still asking me to “ponder” things that have already been covered.
I have meetings today and need to be present for people who matter, like my boss and family, so I’m not going to be pondering your arguments.
As to Mark, I empathize with his suicidal impulses, as I’ve told him many times, and I hope he gets the help he needs and hangs in there. I do think the majority of Americans are good and we’ll see progress again.
I go to sleep at 9, but hope to see you both back on your bullshit in the morning.
Ah, tripling down on my mom, helluva guy.
I think voting for Trump causes a couple more problems than it solves. Especially for the tens of thousands who are now dead directly because of him.
I had no idea what you were retired from. You talk about colleges a lot so I thought some admin job in education.
My mom’s not trying to save any face btw, she doesn’t even know why I asked the question. And I’m not trying to save face with you, you know idgaf what you think of me. Especially not now that I know you’d take a cheap shot at someone’s 70 year old mom who’s always voted Democrat and then double down on it.
Ah, you’ve been saying that for years, piss or get off the pot.
