We went to Chop House last night. I got some glares for wearing a mask. -- nm - David Jun 30, 11:15 21
- From staff or diners? - kelly Jun 30, 12:44

  - sometimes we talk about the things that happen in our lives here. -- nm - Diva Jun 30, 12:50
  - I find this helpful as someone who lives in this area. -- nm - kelly Jun 30, 12:45
- So ambience sucked, but how was the food? -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 11:22 16
  - At my local grocery store 2 weeks ago everyone still wore masks, today it's no one. That's what happens when you have single digit cases per day. -- nm - MDH Jun 30, 11:28 3
    - I was the only one in line wearing a mask at the bagel store here this past weekend. Probably less than 25% at the grocery stores. Felt weird. -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 11:42
    - I still see the majority of people wearing masks at places like grocery stores and Target. Mask behavior at restaurants has been kind of interesting - JD Jun 30, 11:34
    - Other than the hospital, I've given up on wearing a mask. -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 11:29
  - Delicious. It was steak and fried cheese. What's not to love? -- nm - David Jun 30, 11:23 11
    - Was it on a stick? -- nm - Dano Jun 30, 11:30 8
      - No. We save that for Cedar Point. -- nm - David Jun 30, 11:31 7
        
        One can get meat with fried cheese on a stick at Cedar Point? Disneyland has meats on sticks but I've never heard of that - JD Jun 30, 11:37 6
        
        You added the meat. You can get Cheese on a Stick at Cedar Point, though. -- nm - David Jun 30, 11:39 5
        
        You can get a corndog on a stick at Cedar point -- nm - oblique Jun 30, 11:45 4
        
        One can get corn dogs not on a stick? I always thought the stick was kind of fundamental to corn dogs -- nm - JD Jun 30, 11:48 3
        
        I guess technically yes but there are also corndog bites which lack stick -- nm - oblique Jun 30, 11:56
        
        how else would you dip them in batter? -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 11:52
        
        Same. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 11:50
    - Well you can get bad or poorly done steak. I'm not sure if fried cheese can get messed up -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 11:24 1
      - "Oh, fried? We thought you meant poached." -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 11:32

"Bye, Phylicia" -- nm - mud Jun 30, 11:10
Idaho has 76% of nursing home residents and 49% of nursing home workers vaccinated. Why those numbers aren't 99 and 99 is beyond me. -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 11:09 12

- F'ing unions! - Baronnoo Jun 30, 11:39
- Maybe some people are too physically frail? -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 11:15 5
  - possibly for the residents, no excuse for the workers -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 11:16 4
    - at 1%, they really won't hurt anyone. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 11:17 3
      - I don't understand -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 11:18 2
        
        OH!!!! I misread workers as 99%. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 11:22 1
        
        ah, no problemo -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 11:23
- Yeah -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 11:13
