Also can't reserve a large table or room at a restaurant BM>>> as no dine-in yet -- everybody meet in the parking lot! NB>>> Here, gathering in the parking lot would also have been a no-no...

I think groups of up to ten are allowed here, too... and possibly were all along, as that was somewhat the guideline as to how many could be the "skeleton crew" at church for the livestream services... but definitely with distancing and now masks... BM> ...I'll admit to not paying too close attention mainly because a lot BM> of the gathering stuff isn't applying to me, or more I'm not applying BM> to it as no plans for attending a wedding, re-union, etc. Likewise... :) At least not at the moment... ;) BM>> I haven't heard when restaurants are going to be allowed to re-open BM>> (under COVID-19 guidelines); this morning's news did have a blurb about BM>> *maybe* hair salons, barbershops, and the like might be allowed to BM>> re-open this Saturday (May 16th). As was a local station implied here BM>> in Scott County even though we're one of the 22 counties still under BM>> the temporarily closed quidelines (though portions of the Mall opened BM>> earlier this week). NB>> Each state (and region, etc) seems to be making up their own rules as NB>> to what happens when... BM> Right. LIS I was surprised at some of the allowed to re-open options BM> here in Scott County when we're still 'closed'. Maybe you got opened up a little when you weren't noticing...? NB>>> I hope it doesn't end up being a real pain to remove them when the NB>>> time comes, then... :) BM>> I'm thinking not: other events have used temporary floor decals so I'm BM>> thinking the same glue/adhesive would be used.

Doubt if left that long, plus Hy-Vee as BM>> well as a lot of other stores have switched to LED lighting. NB>> So probably temporary, and probably won't be on long enough for any NB>> real discoloration to occur... :) BM> Seems not. Did notice a lack of the floor decal in two areas which BM> are side-by-side. The store's general tile is a medium gray -- BM> actually a nice colour and not as boring as it sounds. Also has a bit BM> of bounce to it. One of the sections without the one way decals is a BM> black-and-white sort of zig-zag pattern which will be the new candy BM> section -- I had commented on it to one of the manangers when I first BM> saw it a few weeks ago - that's when I found out it was going to be the BM> candy section and he or one of the guys he was with commented on it as BM> being Willie Wonka-ish (from the movie). The other section (adjacent) BM> has a charcoal coloured tile. No idea what's going there (stay tuned!). Maybe they are waiting to make sure that the one-way is still needed when those sections get opened for business before putting them down... if not needed, then no need to waste time putting down and then picking back up... :) BM>>> Agree. The six foot distancing isn't a guarantee to stay healthy but BM>>> more probability of a safe zone. If someone is hacking away I'll be BM>>> increasing my six foot zone! NB>>> You'd probably have done that even in more normal times... BM>> When possible! NB>> A lot of what we are doing is just a more stringent form of what we NB>> probably would normally be doing... :) BM> True. If know someone is sick probably would want to keep them at a BM> distance almost naturally. And not like places aren't cleaned, just BM> now being more paid attention to the act of cleaning and the detail. Yup, right now our consciousness of things is heightened because of the crisis... and extra care is being taken as well... :) BM>>> ... Ask me about my vow of silence. NB>>> Not that you'd be allowed to respond.... BM>> Can I pantomime? NB>> Only if allowed by your order... ;) BM> I'll have to ask the Head Monk, though that seems to have a bit of an BM> issue in itself. From what I've read, often with the vow of silence there's a brief respite once a day or some other time period... maybe one could ask then... ;) ttyl neb ....
