Finally went to sit down meal here in south Texas to one of my favorite and bustling family owned real staurant…had a hired security guard to enforce wearing a mask to enter. (Did not know of this requirement or would not have gone) I donned my custom designed mask, by me, with the They Live printed on it. The former ambience of the Mexican food restaurant was totally gone. Our table of five was the bar area, all by ourselves.. masks were immediately removed, the room had stacked chairs, tables pushed to the side in a helter skelter way…ug.
The parking lot had parking spaces reserved for take away orders…evidently that’s what keeping them open. There were less than three tables occupied in the entire restaurant….and the wait staff which were plentiful, did not provide the usual attentive service formerly customary…sad. My fajitas and margarita were up to snuff, thankfully.
Come up north to OK. Our party of 8 had to wait a short time outside for a table, no fussing about masks, all workers in masks, food delicious, good service, and all available tables filled (many tables removed). At least my grandson got to eat at his favorite place on his bday (sigh).
Great thanks for sharing…the comparison of only a short while ago in a young mind in my opinion is nothing short of abuse…hopefully the sanity virus will RETURN…I am refusing to repeat or acknowledge the “New Normal” phrase…I will instead refer and mention, oh you mean the “New Abnormal”? I figure it will at least trigger a reference to what used to be and no longer will be, if we continue to manifest the wanted paradigm. 😎
“They Live”…see the movie on Netflix 😎
I laughed but it really isn’t funny… too true. The world has gone insane and the neighbor Nazi’s are everywhere.

This will soon end, business owners are still worried not about the “thing” but about busybody “health” officials.
Let’s hope. One needs to show respect for the snake to avoid being bitten. Even if the venom is non poisonous.
