Went into Bandera this morning. You would never know there was anything different. Cars and trucks bumper to bumper and at least 50 loud a** Harleys Same for Ruidoso I think half of the Roswell and El Paso bikers showed up. Lots of pent-up false machismo. Or just guys that enjoy riding motorcycles. It is pretty fun if you havent tried it. Dangerous, but fun.

Not everyone who lives out in the country wants to hear them.

I remember just about all of them could speak German. There was even a Black guy in the unit that spoke it. Now there's something you don't see every day... From what I understand, this was actually quite common in NB. At one point, you had to understand German to transact business. Some of the older Spanish guys could converse in English, German and, of course Spanish. In the eighties, German was still being spoken in in NB. My boss used it when he didn't want others (ie: me) to know the full extent of what was going on. One morning I was eating a bear claw in front of Naegelins Bakery with an obvious tourist couple nearby. Two square heads walked by speaking German and the lady gushed about how "cute" that was. Immediately after, two darker skinned fellas strolled by speaking Spanish. I'll never forget. She turned to her husband and emphatically exclaimed that they should be speaking American. Oh well. Until about WWI a lot of the predominately German communities had schools for the children that spoke predominately German. In some communities there would be a German, English and a Spanish school. Most of the German based schools were phased out around WWI, while the Spanish/Mexican schools lasted until the 50's and 60's

We went last weekend
She chose a wine tour which originally consisted of maybe 15 wineries
Prob 10 were open for tours w another 2-3 by reservation only
The local joints were at idk 25-50 percent capacity.
So the real rocket science theory big brother has only makes long lines outside
I can see 50-100 in a line to get in yet half the tables empty🤔
Anyway, that is 7 day old info

So far the only issue that we've had is some places don't have food due to covid restrictions, and other food establishments are closing early. Lost Draw Cellars is curbside only, but it seems that the outside of town wineries are all operating at 50%
