The Month America Rose:
Ban! Bam! Boom! It’s July! But wait just one minute… there may not be any booms and Bams this year as all of the big Fireworks gatherings have been stopped. But, true pride in America doesn’t pause. It doesn’t need a firecracker to ignite emotions. Just recalling the sound of muskets on Lexington Green, and firing over Concord stone walls is one vision that keeps us all standing tall. The farmers and townspeople who rose up together to seek freedom from the powerful armies from across the sea. Yes, hotdogs are nice and parades are thrilling, but the sprit inside the hearts of Americans is always what this Fourth of July is all about. This is the day we remember the beginnings of greatness. This is July which gives us the day we reaffirm the tenets of America’s foundation of freedom. This is a July to member more than ever. Out of many, one.
May the Fourth be with you!

But, we are also seeing that the staying power of even some of our strongest businesses and institutions is being strained, is limited. The cost of maintaining operations for profit or not for profit is enormous. There are serious signs emerging that show us that the infusion of capital without advancing revenue is a force even more dramatic than perhaps originally thought. We all of a sudden are seeing erosion at its cruelest. The Covid case increase is real. It’s not only as a threat to business, academia, charities and even local governments, but to an economy that may not be able to overcome a series of false starts; an economy that can’t succeed on government largess alone.

The Covid is killing the good stuff. For years and years there has been a great country eating place named Oatley’s in a rural section of RI. They just serve good old solid super quality food like mom made, cooked by chefs trained by their hearts. Covid knocked them out. The greatest minds can’t remake the down home organic roots reality of the past. Is the “Middle-of-Nowhere” Diner next?
