“Before this shutdown, small groups of friends would gather for breakfast at their local diner each morning, or happy hour after work at the local pub, or vets at McDonalds for coffee...”
One of my wife’s younger male siblings in his mid 70’s is a Viet Nam Army Vet, and basically eats breakfast at a local diner or drives 7 miles to eat at a McDonald’s. He is a true independent voter.
His wife tells him, she didn’t marry him to fix his breakfast.
So he was upset about that issue of not eating as a group of vets at McD’s or the local diner. He also, complained to my wife, his older sister and about Covid 19, restrictions on the tennis court. Like only serving your own marked ball, throwing the balls into big basket when they were done. Plus having to wear a mask to and from his vehicle and the tennis court.
My wife told him the same thing his wife told him,”You need to grow a pair!” ,
She told him that, he and his friends should wear their Army, Navy,Marine, Air Force hats and American Flag pins to eat breakfast/lunch wherever and together as 70 year old vets.
Then, wearing no masks from his vehicle, to and from the tennis court and to bring his used tennis balls back to his pickup for the next match.
Good story. Thanks
