Gotcha, I would do the same.

when my wife and I went to Playa del Carmen a number of years ago we veered off the main strip and came across what was a little stand inside a cinder block garage serving amazing shrimp and fish tacos for under $1 each. We met a Kiwi who told us he had eaten there every day for two weeks, it was so good. I love ove those little finds!

Once in Dominica, we bought lunch on the street from a lady who called herself "Big Mama" who served us from a beat-up disposable pan covered with aluminum foil. It was delicious.
So when people ask me about the risks I have taken in my life, I always include "Feeding my children chicken purchased from a street vendor in a Third World country".
Have some patience, FFS.

Street food is delicious, but it doesn't always agree with everyone!

Really depends on the country. China, Indonesia, HK. All good. India? I'm not taking my life into my hands and I really like Indian food. I had serious issues because I had ice in my drink at a super nice club in Bombay where the bottle service cost as much as Vegas or NYC. After that? Permanent vigilance

opening night for our local little league tonight.  beautiful weather, 4 fields going, tons of parents watching games and socializing, kids watching their friends' games, concession stand had the grill going.  Almost felt normal again, which is a beautiful thing.

We had LL last summer but no grill going, so it was decided that all stats and records from last season are not to be counted.

Glad y'all are playin' ball again, Zig.

Here in NC, the season has been going since late-March. People really seem to be enjoying themselves, and yes the feeling of normalcy is nice.

Strange occurrence at my game Monday: A kid fouled the ball straight back, high over the backstop, and it hit the glass covering one of the lights. Glass rained down on the bleachers, and some appeared to have hit a few parents/siblings. We had to stop the game for several minutes to make sure everybody was all right. The park superintendent said he had never seen that before. It was like The Natural ... except with a foul ball!

I live in a cul de sac. Last weekend the neighbors had family over, kids playing kick ball in the circle. Music cranked up, laughing.
Next day I went over to him and told him "keep the racket down!"
No, seriously, told him it was so nice to hear sounds of normal life again.

Something I haven't done in well over a year. Hug someone who isn't family.

I was working in the yard Saturday. Jimmy Mac's sister drove by the house, saw me, and pulled over. We talked for about half an hour and gave each other a big hug when she was ready to leave.

It was a nice feeling to do something so normal.

Nice for you, maybe ...

Panthers have announced that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, 100% attendance will be allowed at games in 2021.

I'll probably go to my usual 2-3 games.

But even with Patrick Baldwin, Jr, 100% only means a few thousand (unless they schedule Marquette).

Nothing says "return to normalcy," quite like a cat fight in the LF bleachers of Sox Park.
