I am not trying to get a rise out of anyone, just passing along some information is all.

Abbysmum said "Could they have been a family unit? We went to the park the other day with our 5 kids. It might have seemed weird, but we're all one household, so there's no one to "bring it back to". We picked a park where no one else was, stayed 20 minutes, then left. "
Doubt a family unit. All three had a different last name. Plus you have the interaction with the photographer so who knows where he has been too. Understand what you are saying I will be fishing this weekend. Last I want is some public photographer interacting with me.

Simple things
3/19/2020 at 4:36 PM

Some of the decisions and distancing precautions have hit close to home recently. Have been self-isolated at home with family today with symptoms of what I’ll assume is a not so fun cold. Out of an abundance of caution we’ve all taken the idea of distancing even more seriously and will continue to out of respect to the public and what’s going on in the world right now.

I’m lucky that what I’m feeling isn’t at a level where I’m bedridden and fortunate that I somehow lucked into a job that I can still ably do from home... that much more easily thanks to so many of the helpful posts and tips that have come in over the last few days.

It sure gives one a new respect for the simple things, where something as basic as a Tims dropped on the doorstep by family is all it takes to give the day (and body ) an extra kick.

Hang in there if you’re in the same boat, everything is temporary and this isn’t about to be the exception to that rule!

Kids need activity

Article from yesterday states “In a significant increase in measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus, guidelines called for all Americans to avoid social gatherings of more than 10 people and to limit discretionary Travel” This will run until at least August.

Do you really expect kids not to get out and play for the next 6 months?!?? The kids were outside, skate boarding, I would say this falls in line with social distancing. Adults have been going to grocery stores in very large numbers, which is much more dangerous than 3 kids at the skate park. Smh.

Just a little promotion Boston Pizza is running, guessing the Facebook embed with details isn’t showing on your platform.

Speaking of unique promotions for unique times, Farmery offering free delivery to locations that include Brandon:
