Finally – restaurants and other small busi- nesses that we frequent are beginning to re- open. I would not know if I had not read it. In the newspaper. We still order carry out at what restaurants that offer that service and use the drive through at the banks, pharmacy and an occasional fast food place. My first visit to Walmart in six months was made over the weekend. They have been open all along and made major modifications to keep employees and customers healthy. If I had not been with my wife I would have avoided that, too. Walmart and other establishments like it provide an essential (new word for 2020) service and the employees put their health at risk each day they come to work. I appreciate them. I am ready to enjoy in-house dining again at the restaurants, to get a hair cut, to visit some folks, and to attend church services. Inner warning signals tell me that I should keep on doing what I have been doing: working from home, “walking to church” in our living room and also to the restaurant (located in the next room but sometimes dining in an easy chair) and having the movie theater come to my home via the TV across the way. Those (like me) who do not wish to get out still have the option to stay home. I am thrilled that many business owners can go back to work, open their doors, and accept customers on a limited basis. I am proud of the way folks in Tennessee are social distancing and being cautious. I hear reports that many wear their masks. We plan to stay mostly at home until we see how it goes. We can work from home until the Internet goes out like it did Sun- day afternoon.
