I think a US bank did this a few months ago too.
Yes, just trying to read the tea-leaves!
All okay where you are Dana?
Fine, I live in a small town a few minutes from the countryside, and the pace is quite relaxed. I try to cheer up people I meet, often depressed by watching tv (though actually many are seeing through the “fear pòrn”. Little do they know that if they occupied themselves with the topics we delve into HERE, their hair would probably stand on end.
Good. Same scenario here. It’s reported to be a lockdown but the police have only got powers to disburse groups of people and they say only essential workers to carry on working but no formal law so plenty of businesses are still operating. All shops apart from supermarkets ordered to shut though. I could hear a party going on up the Tor last night – so nothing changes there.
Spoke (video call) with a relative Sunday who lives in northern Spain. She is American (Mexican/Anglo heritage) married to a Basque Spaniard. She did the six foot spacing while buying groceries from a truck that comes once a week and the locals thought it quite odd. They are all in lock down. They are retired and stay occupied with tending their huge garden and heritage fruit trees. He normally plays cards with the neighbors Saturday afternoons across the street in the local tavern that is now closed. Life is at a standstill but they have their daughter and granddaughter safely with them. All is good.
Oh law takes effect on Thursday. Nice to hear from you Billy Bob.
