I’m glad precautions are taken and these employees are having to be tested. I wish this applied to the hotel industry as well. I haven’t heard a peep from Hilton nor my direct supervisors. Oh, but guests who have enrolled in our rewards program got a nice “We understand your concerns” e-mail.
Cheap gas and sightseeing to get you out of the house. My wife and I drove to Bucees yesterday and filled two vehicles and 5 ten gallon gas cans. I will use every drop of the gasoline in my lawn tractors and small lawn equipment.
Good news, gas is below $2 a gallon. Bad news, we’ve got no place to go.
