Hey our tomato plants are producing like crazy.
Some are already ripening by the back door.
The ducks sometimes look at them as they pass by, but they are too short to swipe any.
I was surprised and pleased to see that the Friendly's in Florence is now open for indoor dining! It being about five months since I'd had a sit down meal in a restaurant, I decided to stop in for one of their bacon burgers.
Strangely, you have to be wearing a mask to enter the building, but then of course you have to take it off to actually eat or drink anything. As it turned out I was the only customer sitting in the dining room!
The dining area is open at only half capacity, with every other booth roped off. Other alleged virus protections included a paper menu that could be thrown away after each customer handles it and condiments such as ketchup served in disposable containers.
Being the only customer meant the service was excellent, while the burger itself was great.
As I was preparing to leave a teen-age couple arrived and ordered milkshakes, however, I got the impression from my waitress that people are still hesitant to eat indoors at a restaurant. It looked to me as if Friendly's has taken every safety precaution and then some, so I urge you dear readers to venture back into the dining scene, perhaps beginning with a trip to Friendly's.
One of the lowlights from the Democratic Party Convention was the appearance by Elizabeth Warren. At least her segment was set in a Springfield classroom, but notice what the alphabet letters are arranged to spell:
Meanwhile, here's a slice of Springfield you won't see in an MGM casino brochure.
