If your are like me you couldn't care less if the whole world went on lock down

[Frank S]

Heads up Frank - not sure if you've seen it yet, but the Texas governor just issued a soft lockdown. The text isn't as bad as some states, but these are often followed by stricter lockdowns. Here's the full order: https://lrl.texas.gov/scanned/govdoc...2020/GA-14.pdf

Yep I already had as copy of it and yesterday I noticed the Dollar General and the grocery store had signs posted limiting the number of patrons to enter at a time. Neither store has hardly ever had more than that number in their stores anyway.. There was only one business in town which did not make the cut as essential services. A small boutique that sells second hand clothing and some other things like curios. Everyone else the Propane guy, the gas station, 3 tire and repair shops, 4 oilfield related companies, the feed store/ welding supply, the hardware store, the Mechanic shop/ vehicle inspection station, the grocery store, the Dollar General, Dairy Queen, the Pizza place, and the restaurant are all open for business. Leaving only the lady who owns the boutique shuttering her door but she only opens it 3 days a week anyway. The Masonic lodge sent out a directive that All lodges have done dark and will remain dark until such a time as necessary as per order of the Grand Marshal of Texas but that directive came out back in the first of March. I think my letters from 2 lodges that I am past master of arrived on March 3rd. Of course no one can visit the nursing home without specific emergency requirements. the several local construction and mobile repair companies are not effected either. The only thing that will really effect me in any way is I won't be going to Sweetwater or Abilene for anything such as steel or repair parts that I can not purchase on line for a while as a personal choice more than anything else. We have plenty of food her meds for 3 months enough gasoline for a while I may need diesel but currently the gas station is having a new canopy installed so it has closed off all pumps the convenience store part is still open I guess folks need their beer and potato chips
