Much Needed Changes They Are A Comin' And An Update

We are still just 2 , (Nancy And I) that take care of every aspect of the daily operations. We manage pretty well except our biggest and many other persons' opponent since the calendar turned to 2021 has been 19 who unleashed an 8 PM curfew. This is happening in Canada, more precisely in Quebec, just 10 minutes west of Montreal.
