I’m getting tired of the sound of silence due to Covid.

We live in a quiet rural area, where there isn't much going on, even before this Covid hit. The numbers of those infected in the county has remained very low. About the only interruption to the daily routines has been the wearing of masks during the peaks of this virus.
 
Becky, I've always had the same experience with Home Depot. I used to wonder if their employees were trained to turn their back when they saw you coming, so they could pretend they didn't see you.

But now it's improved. Maybe new management. I don't go there very often, but the last few times, I found the staff very helpful.
 
The zombies or "The Walking Dead" are still living in my apartment building. I know this when I walk the hallways in the morning. They have such horrible big black masks that I can only see their eyes. I suppose after their walks they just return back to their tombs. They probably look at my maskless face and wonder when I'm going to die? I mystify them because I keep reappearing day after day; pretty healthy and lively. I love thinking for myself as to what is right and what is wrong.
 
Until the empty land near us is developed, I live in a very quiet area. I can open the windows at bedtime and know there’ll be few sounds until those birds start tweeting in the morning. They’re noisy little buggers.

When we walk the sounds of cars driving by bother me. I know this is small town thinking because big city folks would laugh at our definition of a traffic.
 
I got really tired of that stupid 'dance'....I called it the Prance..... that evolved together with the flat dull music which is still
obvious in TV commercials and home videos.
Lets get back to real dancing and musical music......
am I making any sense with this?..
Just how I feel

I live in the woods 20 miles from everywhere. LOTS of sounds here; birds, wind in the grass, turkey gobblers, chittering squirrels, etc. Wouldn't trade it for traffic and yelling kids.

Not saying I want to hear yelling kids or non stop traffic......just seems like life is so different now, maybe a bit odd.

it is different in many ways ...
neighbors i can hear now because instead of standing in a yard chatting many distance then yell back and forth ... sad in many ways that some IMO will never go back to being social .... makes for a distant less friendly atmosphere.
 
Not quiet in Dallas. Stores and restaurants are packed. I do wish traffic would go back to the Pandemic era. It seems like it has doubled since pre-Covid, but then we are one of the cities that has seen a major influx from other states/cities.
