Subject: Re: FRIDAY 9 APR 21 by TommyT-Bone on 2021/4/9 14:06:07 The red, red robin goes bob, bob, bobbin along. Getting my second Pfizer shot this afternoon. They state has gone big on the J&J shot to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible. The old one and done approach. The governor and state are suing the CDC to get cruise operations going again. The cruise lines might have to start departing from foreign ports if American ports stay closed to cruise operations. Florida (Miami) being the cruise capital of the world, is losing revenue from layoffs, port fees, the cruise supply chain losses and hotel fees from rooms not booked. Got to get their financial engines turning again. Another few months and it could be full steam ahead. The nursery business benefitted from the Covid shutdown. We had a record sales year last year. Supplies are down though as growers can't keep up with demand. The landscaping business is brisk and Sue is booked for a month ahead. Since she is a one woman show, the nursery is closed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and some Thursdays for landscape jobs. The nursery has been by appointment only for a couple of years now but walk ins are welcome when the gates are open. Google, Yellow Pages and Yelp have the business listing open from 07:00 to 03:30 Mon-Sat. I've contacted them and told them we are by appointment only. They are independent resources and we don't pay for services. None have changed the listing. So customers come to the nursery and find a big "BY APPOINTMENT ONLY" sign on the gate and get pissed off. We tell them we don't advertise. Those are independent sites that list us. The nursery closes at 03:30 and some like to come at 03:25 and start shopping. So Sue now closes at 02:30 on Saturday to give her an hour to clear the customers and get them out by 03:30. She does after hours stuff for some on arrangement. Enough from me . Seeya!  |
