Frank and Ernest by Thaves for October 26, 2020

Socially distance, guys, and wear a mask.

Our favorite family pizza restaurant (local family owned) closed its doors in the beginning and put it up for sale. And, they had just spent months remodeling, keeping its character but a great upgrade. They are older and said it was time to retire. Apparently, no one in the family wanted to run it. The restaurant business is tough even in the best of times.

Yup. Truly sad indeed. :’-(

In one era, some events caused a ripple effect. Current situations seem more like tsunamis in irregular order. Begin clean up after one, another hits without warning.

Prayers for the fallen, the ill, those who serve them and their families.

I suppose you can head on over to a food truck to curb your appetite.

Nothing new really… the failure rate of restaurants has always been very high.

get rid of the petty tyrants and their jackboots

Yes, so very sad…..

And to think the worst extent of this could have been avoided if we had true leaders in power who trusted the American people with the truth, brought the entire country together to fight this as one, truly shut down incoming infected and monitored/quarantined as necessary, and combined that with a united effort by all our health agencies and manufacturing plants. What a concept.

“Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!” —Winston Churchill, Report to House of Commons, 1940 June 4

“We are not going to control the pandemic.” —Mark Meadows (1959- ) White House Chief of Staff under President Trump, 2020 Oct. 25

2016: “I alone can fix it.”

2020: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

Another reason to thank Trump.

So very sad — and it didn’t have to be this way.

That sign was nearly word for word a note on our neighborhood diner. They did add that all of their employees would be taken care of (jobs at other restaurants of theirs)
