  You go and enjoy your meal I’m about an hour south of Port St Lucie if I was very important to me I’d head up there and get a meal but I’m comfortable at home and I’ve been having lunch catered in my office I’m in no great rush I’d like to see the infection rate go down more rather than add to the problem

  Was the waiter wearing a hazmat suit? Was the restaurant busy or does it seem like folks are afraid to go out?

  I've been out for a couple of meals. Wait staff wore masks and every other table was vacant.

  It was not crowded at all. I think there are still a lot of nervous people out there. I thought the waitress would be wearing a mask, but she was not.

  Sounds good Warrior. I look forward to eventually enjoying a restaurant as well, but I don't think that Mrs. Dugan is ready for that yet. She's far from alone, which I think is going to be one of the challenges in ramping things back up.

  FYI. I get on a plane tomorrow for the first time in a couple of months. I'm interested to see how many people will be on this plane at the same time or even how many are in the airport. I have my mask ready.

  I'm not one to spend $ frivolously, but being a single-guy eating out is one thing I do enjoy and do pretty-much everyday - the $ def ads up but I enjoy the convenience of being able to eat what I want w/o the trouble of having to prepare it myself (and since it's just me it's not as expensive as if it was a family eating out everyday). Thus I did miss being able to sit at a restaurant to have a nice meal - but I have actually gotten used to eating at home vis takeout or delivery - in someways I find it easier/better to just show up and pick up my food and be done with it w/o having to deal with the staff any longer which I often find frustrating particularly down here in Miami - as time has passed, I actually miss eating at the restaurant less than when this all started and I wonder if other people may also be getting used to a new-normal and may start to enjoy not having to deal with crowds at a restaurant; although I assume once things open up I may go back to eating at restaurants but perhaps not as much as b/f particularly at busy times.

  [view link] I don't trust research coming out of China, but it is something to consider when restaurants are opening back up as we hit 1.2 million covid 19 positive Americans.

  ^ per that article is why I think there are looser restrictions w.r.t. outside seating vs inside seating for the restaurants opening up.

  I’m not so sure about Cinco de Augusto, I think it might be cinco de Januario Cinco de Jack Daniels sounds about right though but my own preference would be Cinco de Johnny Walker Azul

  In my town they are slowly opening, only allowing outside dining at this time. Of the restaurants in town that offer outside dining, only about 1/3 of them have opened back up. Yesterday it was nice, and one of the few that was open, as I drove by... their patio was packed. Too packed for comfort in my opinion. Today it was cold I didn't see as many patrons out today as I did yesterday. All staff are required to wear masks and gloves.

  I’ve grown to like take out now. I never used to really do it. Even at nice restaurants just get it and go.

  Reheating good food is a drag.

  Been doing take out a lot so I don't see it being that much of a leap to eat in a properly distanced indoor or outdoor seating area. Thing is, I also just don't see it being that big of an advantage. Pretty much just keep to ourselves while in a restaurant anyway. What I do miss are drinking out a bar, concerts and casinos..... saw this one this morning on how they plan to protect slot players: [view link]

  I am sorry you are fat and have a tiny penis. I apologize for laughing at your jealousy of me. I apologize for being fitter and a better athlete than you, but to be fair I will still be a better athlete than the l;ikes of you after I have been dead 10 years.

  Chevy Chase was a mediocre actor, hated by his peers, so finally an honet post.

  I am aware of the skit that was funny the first two times it was done and not the next 2 years. You're the one who identified yourself as the unoriginal chevy chase who's claim to fame was his rip off version of weekend update, when the original was far funnier and may be seen in "the Groove Tube". Second class, unlikeable, jealous wannabe: You and Chevy.

  You're a fucking retard. Weekend update was first seen in 1974 in the Movie the Groove tube. Chevy Chase also appears in the movie, but not as the anchor of the newscast (one song and one fake commercial) he stole the idea created by another, because he was as interesting and original as you are human and smart.

  I went out to dinner Sunday night in Georgia and it was a little creepy how empty the place was.
