That looks so yummy.Ok so, now my car is taking me thru North Carolina to get back to Cinci. Whatever, doesn’t look like any crazy mountain roads on the map, so I’m good.
We’re in some little town, don’t know the name, but the people are staggeringly friendly!! We stopped at a roadside antique store, bought a cowbell and garden decoration (T’s choice) and some Amish Butter, fresh baked muffins, and another salsa.
Went to ring up, and apparently it’s cash only., not ATMs around, but I’m told to go to the Dollar General across the street. I’ve never been in a Dollar General store. I decided to grab a small soft cooler for the butter, we didn’t bring a cooler with us. It’s was $22.50. I always thought Dollar stores were all one dollar items. Lol.. but I didn’t really think that cooler would be a dollar.
So we’re in line and the guy in front of us just hands a $1 bill to T, says “buy a piece of candy for you”. T looks at me shocked, looks at the guy, and says “Wow. Thank you.” Looks at me again and said “The mountains really do have the nicest people, this is unreal. “. The man laughed.
We go back to the antique store/ food mart. One of the old men says “I have corn in the boiler for you, can you stay another 10 minutes?” Then the woman (I’m assuming his wife) Comes up to T and says “Here this is for you”. It was a Trump 2020 winter hat, with fur on the inside.
Please Please don’t misconstrue this as a political post..
When we pulled up to the store and got out, T says “Look Mom, a Trump sign! They must be republicans.” Then he sees a 9/11 sign and says “Wow, these are good patriots.”
The people asked him if he was republican, he said “Oh, yes! And I’m a patriot too.”
After all of that, we then went to a Taco Stand next door. Now at a gas station waiting for T to finish in the restroom, I had to buy ice for the tiny soft sided cooler— realizing that this small stick of Amish Butter has turned into the most expensive butter that I will ever buy.
Prior to going in the restroom, T said “I’ve never seen such happy and nice people. I can’t believe people just wanted to give stuff to me. The mountain air must make people really friendly . “

Saying “I’m a patriot” shouldn’t be viewed as having anything to do with politics. Please don’t misconstrue what my son said. They were two different thoughts and comments, I really hope that came across correctly.i was hoping it would.

Do they read the news and know hair salons can open? Yes.
Have I told them I'm planning on getting a haircut because my last one was January? Mom yes. Dad, nope.

Your company is following "new" standard protocols. And, I know you're freaking out about the lack of free FOOD in the company break room!
I spoke with a friend yesterday who has been working remotely during all this, and his company will be phasing employees, back into the physical office. (Management first, then "waves" of employees -- but, only half at a time will be working in the company office. They're going to alternate half the staff to work at home for a week, while the other half works in the office. So that "musical chairs" approach will be in effect for quite some time to come.) This approach makes sense, so they don't have to spend a pile of money to redesign the office, to space out workstations, etc.
They're lucky that it's a business that can also work remotely. But he did mention, that it's really more efficient when everyone is in the office; so the workarounds are not ideal. (Note, he works in an essential medical supply company, so their staff can go back there earlier than many businesses here.)
I 100% agree with you that there will be a resurgence this fall.
Meanwhile, congrats to DWifey!!Good for her!!! During this time of upheaval, it's exciting that she landed another job with more money! So glad for her, and you.
Yep, the lack of copious amounts of free food and occasional booze is definitely a bummer (although, I might argue that booze could help kill the virus, so we now need more...!!!!!
).It’s actually pretty interesting to see how different businesses are coming up with inventive potential solutions to try to get back to business, but, also try to remain as safe as is reasonably possible.
Yep, unfortunately, a resurgence seems inevitable, at this point.
Thanks for the congrats about Carolyn’s new job...she had another good day, as did I...!!!

If I'm not mistaken, the people here who are working, have been doing so from their home computers. If I'm wrong, you're not a guinea pig, after all !!.
I thought at least @MySmallWorldof4 ‘s hubs might have been at his office a few times, and also @21stamps at hers sometimes also...?
Although, I could be wrong, and it definitely wouldn’t be the first time...!!!!!

They were all over Georgia, NC, and Tennessee! At least the parts we were in. I’ve never seen so many!
