I had to go out today for the first time in two weeks. I had to get a c02 refill, some gardening supplies, and some lamb for tomorrow.
The grow shop where I exchanged the co2 bottle wouldn't let customers in. You had to ring the bell, they would ask you what you wanted, and then they would bring it to you; money/cc was exchanged at the door. Almost curbside delivery.
The other was at the meat shop. It's a small grocery store/meat shop. The owner was standing outside with mask asking people to line up 6 feet apart on the sidewalk, and was only allowing 8 people in the store at a time. He had marked off spots on the floor 6 feet apart to separate customers waiting for the meat counter. They also had popular items like leg-o-lamb and ham in a cooler well before the meat counter. Then the cashier had a plexiglass cough shield between them and customers. All the employees were in masks and gloves.
And most of the garden centers do pre-order with curbside pickup. I could get used to this.
Almost everyone I saw while out was wearing a mask.
People can be taught. There is hope for people, at least in some places.

I had a girlfriend years ago whose family lived in Fresno. Visited a few times. It sure isn't a place I'd move to. Although I thought the underground gardens were pretty cool. You may think it's bad there but there are much worse shitholes across America. Newark NJ, Bossier City NO, to name a few I've had the unfortunate pleasure of visiting. I'm staying right here in Portland Oregon which by the way has plenty of shithole itself.

It's not like that at all here. I've been going out shopping since this started. Grocery stores are full of people and just the other day I went to Lowes to get a lawn mower. The garden center was packed. People everywhere. Some with and some without masks. When I was loading up the box containing the lawnmower onto the cart and employee that wasn't wearing a mask came up, asked if I needed some help, and before I could reply he got within a couple feet of me to hold the cart so it didn't roll. I had to hold my breath. What an idiot. I just about ripped him a new one but then I stopped myself because he was only trying to help which is a rare occurence at a Lowes. Who would have thought that it would take Covaid-19 to finally get some help at a big box store.

Did you make that cloth mask? My lady has been cranking them out. I sent some to family in Brooklyn holed up in their apartment.

So has mine. She is part of a group that was making fabric tampons for girls in developing countries. Apparently girls miss a lot of school because they can't attend while they are on their periods; those tampons allowed them to stay in school.
Anyway, they had to stop that work because they can't ship them right now.
So they switched over to masks. So far they have filled requests from hospitals and nursing homes, the national guard, and a group supporting immigrants. She has made almost 500 masks for adults and children so far.
Skills come in handy. Me, I'm more of a duct tape and stapler kind of seamstress.
