Barking and Masks
Let’s talk barking first. So it seems or I am told my daughter has taught our parakeet to bark like our inside dog. I was quite stunned to hear this barking sound and see the dog sleeping. My daughter took full credit, but I think the parakeet is trying to one-up the dog.
In the middle of this pandemic that is destroying so many people and businesses, we business owners have to tread water so as not to piss people off. I am sorry I said Piss, that is totally inappropriate, but I am pissed off. So many people do not want to wear masks and believe this is a total hoax. I got into an argument today with a woman who thinks this is all concocted up by the opposing party. The other day I had an equipment man come in mask-less delivering and installing a soft-serve machine. After he was there for a while I handed him a mask and asked him to wear it. I hadn’t paid him yet and so he put it on. When he was leaving I happened to walk out the back door only to see him rip it off and throw it on the ground next to our back door. Folks it is only a mask to help us get through this mess. It doesn’t need to be political but we business people have to be oh so careful not to irritate people ( is that better?). I just wonder if we will all get along when the pandemic becomes more manageable.
OK, so at Taylors in Loomis with this soft-serve machine, we are adding nondairy Dole Whip with alternating Pineapple and Orange flavors. If you feel like a drive, come try us out. We only let one party in at a time to order and we do prefer you to use a credit card over cash, and of course, you have to wear a mask to enter.
Thanks, folks. When this is over, I hope to buy everyone a beer or a Dole Whip.
