Salinas, CA
I realized recently that although I keep up with
everyone else's blogs, I fail to keep mine up!
As everyone else I'm sure, we are still SIP (sheltering in place).
Our illustrious governor has changed the guidelines
that the counties follow to reopen businesses.
It's even color coded!
Unfortunately our county (Monterey) is at the top tier (purple),
among almost all counties with the exception of a handful.
Retail shops and grocery stores are open,
restaurants are open for outdoor dining only,
nail and hair salons are closed.
Masks are mandatory, with a stiff $100 fine if caught without one.
The local Walmart even has a UV sanitizing robot
which snuck up behind us!
Other than that life goes on!
We're planning a trip across country
the end of September through the end of October.
Cooper wants to go, we don't want to fly,
so we're driving back to Pennsylvania
for a few weeks.
It should be fun!
Glad to hear some news of how you are all doing.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they'll have all the Fires out soon.
Have you considered getting a smaller RV for just that kind of trip. It would be easier then finding pet friendly motels for Cooper.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
That fire must have been frightening especially at night. Have a fun trip. That will probably be strange taking such a long trip by car! Be sure to get out and walk often so you don't get a Pulmonary embolism like I did.
ReplyDeleteTake care out there.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty stiff fine for not wearing a mask. Good thing Cooper didn't get caught... :cD
ReplyDeleteKeep those masks on. Don't want to pay that $200.00.
ReplyDeleteWe have to wear masks too here in Alabama. Supposed to end on October 1. I can't tell you how many times I've had to walk back to the car to get mine when I see others wearing it.
You know we have a room for you here and for Cooper too. Biscuit loves company.
It's so sad about all the fires in California. I'm glad you are in no danger. Looking forward to traveling vicariously with you. I am SO TIRED of being stuck here. I know others are out and about especially the full timers but Carrie just lost her father and I don't want to take any chance of her losing her mother too.
