GUARDLING Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I have homes in the NE as well as Florida. I'm stuck here for a while. ( Florida) I was just in a Walmart and now Walmart requires masks, No exceptions. I got in line to pay and for the 1st time everyone did have masks on. ( most were not in compliance before ) The couple in front of me ( probably around mid 30s to late 30s ) NO MASKS. Not sure how they got in being someone was checking. Of course now attracting attention. I think( not sure ) someone went to customer service , they brought over security and escorted the couple out. I truly do not get the issue wearing a mask, especially in a state who was supposed to be the beacon of what to do and success ( yeah right) and now what's happening WEAR A #### MASK, I can see it getting ugly as more states and businesses say see ya to those who do not comply. PS: and I don't want to hear about rights. I hate wearing a seat belt but I do . Some real gems on TV today from a pretty wealthy area refusing to wear a mask...good don't, maybe they need to be in lock down to protect everyone else. Or get to the back of the line if they get sick. ughhhh Frustrating.,...sorry Edited July 16, 2020 by GUARDLING 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard school bus holds 71 kids. With social distancing 14 kids will be able to ride at a time. I don’t get how someone figured 14 but point is SD will clobber some schools transportation budget. disclaimer: my district was one of the most spread out in the state so bus budget is huge.... don’t miss my 45 minute each way rides to/from school. Just when I thought this pandemic was good for climate change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very surprised if the marching arts occurred at all this year. Unfortunate but a necessary sacrifice for the safety of the kids. I’m just afraid that with budget constraints, this is going to put even more strain on musical arts programs at schools. Band was such an integral part of my K-12 education, I can’t imagine going through all of that without it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like some odd emotions regarding the cancellation of an event that would inappropriately attract large crowds and travelers from other countries. I am saddened by this news as I have participated in the parade through my high school before and it is a beautiful tradition. But angry? No, its cancellation is very understandable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
