Pete Ricketts announced easing of the Directed Health Measure (DHM) that suspended dine-in options restaurants. As of May 4, restaurants were allowed to seat up to 50 percent of their capacity.

We are discovering many things as a result of the corona virus and its impact. Among them are that work and jobs centralized in office buildings and business parks are over. Prior to 2020, only about 8 percent of wage and salaried employees in the U.S. worked remotely at least one day a week according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Then the virus hit and so did the landscape of work within our country as millions of Americans employed by thousands of companies were told they had to...
Two months ago, give or take a few days or so, “normal” took a left turn in the Panhandle. We were strongly encouraged to stay home unless on an essential errand or duty.

It is time to stand up and be bold for our American freedoms. As I quote Mr. Henry...
