Reply to comment by tomorrow509 in Hearses queue at Beijing crematorium, even as China reports no new COVID deaths by Niflheim-Dragon
Man... I'm from the US and the time you're talking about is when it really hit home that we were all truly fucked. I remember seeing videos out of China around this time of year in 2019, wondering what the hell was going on over there. Then saw articles that it had spread to other SE Asian countries.. a few weeks later Italy got hit hard and I remember seeing videos people were posting of the obituary section of the newspaper which was pages long. That's when I realized there's no way in hell this thing wasn't going to hit every corner of the globe. And you're right... there was a period in time when the entire world just shut down completely. At the time I was working on a program for my TV (raspberry pi) that would rotate through different webcams around the world. It was bizarre to see Times Square, the plaza in front of the Vatican, beaches in Thailand, and even Mecca completely empty.
Such strange times.. and unfortunately it doesn't feel like we're past it, either.

You shouldn’t have to get a lawyer if op has insurance. They have lawyers that handle this. OP shouldn’t really even be talking to the plow company. Send insurance the police report and they’ll take it from there.

Another food option that I went to this weekend is Barley & Salt. Nice restaurant, not fancy, not trashy. Maybe upscale for Conway but I don’t know the area well enough. We went there to grab a drink only, but got some truffle fries as a snack which were fantastic. A good selection of beers on tap if that’s your thing (that’s my thing). My wife doesn’t like beer and found good drinks on the cocktail menu (oatmeal cookie martini for the win). The food menu looked great, we just weren’t there for more than a “one and done” drink before we moved on to the next place (had a friend from out of state visiting and wanted to hit as many breweries as we could). While there we realized they were recently featured on diners drive-ins and dives, which we’re a huge fan of. Got home and looked up the segment and it makes me want to go back just to try more food. It was my first time in Conway- it’s absolutely beautiful up there so you’ll have a great time. Enjoy!

I was there yesterday for the 'first' time. (First time eating, 4th time attempting to get in). I actually thought their home fries were really good. They very well could have been frozen, but they were seasoned well and were cooked perfectly - although we did ask for them cooked 'extra crispy' which is something we usually do when ordering home fries.
That being said, now that we've had the experience I don't think it's worth waiting an absurd amount of time to get in again. We got there at 9:30 and the wait was 1 hour 25 minutes. The sugar house tour was actually way more interesting and informative than I was expecting, which was a nice surprise.
