Hey there my friend! Nice seeing you here :).
Seriously, the going out of business sales happen way more often then they used to. Luckily I'm not someone who buys things on a whim so I've never fallen for that. I didn't realize how they were working it though, super shady.
How have you been?
Hey, thanks for coming by... and good to see you, too!
Been doing allright; the best we can. The whole Covid/Pandemic circus was tough on the self-employed, which would be both my wife and myself... she sees clients (and pretty much couldn't) and I sell at arts and crafts shows (and pretty much couldn't) but we're surfacing on the other side, now.
How are things with you?
That circus was tough on most, but the self-employed we're definitely at the top. So many small businesses in my area didn't make it, so I'm glad you guys broke through the other side!
We actually spent a good part of 2020 traveling- on the upside, there was almost no traffic hah. It was really crazy how differently things were handled from state to state. We went to South Dakota during one of the major lockdowns here in NY and you wouldn't even know there was a "pandemic" happening. They still held their Sturgis annual motorcycle rally with more than 500,000 people showing up. Later the news reported "one possible covid related death due to the rally"...I don't think anything could have convinced me that covid was mostly theater more than that did.
I'm really good actually. I have learned through this not to rely on the external, that all things good start from within :)
