c. Signs of the times. We were driving through Jackson, NJ when we saw a sign that said, “We love our seniors.” So we thought that they were friendly to the elderly, but the next line said, “Class of 2020.”

d. A terrific produce store with small crowds is Matt’s on Rt. 71 in Wall near the Belmar Marina. Just take Memorial Drive, cross the bridge and then turn left by the Dairy Queen. It’s on the left about a mile up the road on the left. Sometimes they get low, but usually they have a wide a variety of fresh produce. Trucks show up regularly with deliveries.

Seems like a small price to pay to keep all of us safe .
