We do nothing. It seems to me that it is important to remember the departed constantly, and not only on the memorial day. Therefore, I see no reason to organize some kind of demonstration event.
I agree it weird to set a specific day for it because it's nice to remember them all the time.
You know i agree. Its nice to remember them all the time.
Taps across America sould be every day not just onece a year.
MA has had very, very strict restrictions since last March with only essential services type stores open until fairly recently, and people have been great complying, and we have an over 75% vaccination rate.Quote:

My Retriever, Peach, puts on the brakes when the tech comes out to take her into the hospital without one of us (total refusal, embarrassing lol), so Dr. Paul comes out to our car to give her her monthly injection for Addison's disease; such service!:D
Of course after all that, finally able to enjoy some freedom, having been under drought conditions for a month with nothing but sunshine, it poured every.single.day over the weekend!:rolleyes::D
we in Canada are in lookdown
That's nice Sandra more freedom. I thought Canada lifted rescrtians 😥.
In spite of the restrictions, many people do what they want. I try to adhere to the rules of self-isolation. This is facilitated by remote work and the large amount of housework that needs to be done. Looking forward to Spectracide Triazicide for weed control. No matter how much I fight with them, they still grow. Apparently the wind is bringing the seeds.
Memorial Day was originally to honor those who died in war, and many of those deaths were unnoticed by people outside their own circle, even though they died for all of us.Quote:

Vermont has lifted all COVID restrictions, though individual businesses can still request that people wear masks.
I work at the Post Office, so will astir be wearing a mask at work until the Federal Postal Union says not to. Because it needs to be equal over the whole country, it may be some time before we can unmask, as the vaccination rate is much lower in some other states.
Im currently in Europe now, in the property in Spain here, everybody are freely going to the beach and chilling all together
In many countries, even despite the existence of requirements for wearing masks, many wanted to spit on these rules. It seems to me that if everyone followed the rules, then the whole world would have come out of quarantine long ago.Quote:
