Everything looks so green there. It's nice you have a "garden" outside your door that you don't have to take care of.

I didn't know using your foot to push elevator buttons was a "thing". At my age I'd break a hip.

I wouldn't have thought anyone ever pushed elevator buttons with a foot, much less that it was common enough to have to inform residents that it was forbidden. Who'da thunk? FanSee

I think everyone needs a slice of nature in their lives. We have a big backyard, and, while it's still a big too cool to sit out there, I know it's there waiting for us. The trees are starting to fill out, and I can't wait to sit beneath their canopy.

In Philadelphia you can usually count on weather warm enough to sit out by mid-May, so...soon. FanSee

Do not use your feet? Like I could get my foot up that high. :P Like you, our weather was gorgeous and lots of people were just outside to enjoy the sun on the faces. I hope we soon will be able to move around freely.

If I tried to push an elevator with my foot, I'd end up on my butt on the floor. But who ever thought of it at all? That's what wonders me.

Moving around freely outdoors here is already easy. As far as moving around freely indoors or going to a stadium or a crowded beach...I don't expect to do that this year and maybe not all next year. FanSee

It's obviously directed at people more agile than us. :P

I'm hoping we will be able to open the theatre at some point, but it's getting harder to say.

If you could only sell 30% or 40% of your seats to ensure maintaining social distancing, would that work financially? Couples who live together would want to sit together, how would you manage that? The seating chart would end up being like one of those sliding puzzles: If we sit the family of four here, we have to move one set of couples down to the end of the row, and the other set of couples up one row and over two seats. Unbeknownst to them, patrons might find themselves seated and reseated all over the theater before you finally issued the tickets.

I've given this way to much thought. FanSee

DO NOT use your feet...
No feet??

Well, I guess that probably also rules out using one's nose.

Gawd, I hope so. FanSee who never thought of that, either.
