Tri state mini tour. 350 miles.
20 minute circuit around the Tabernacle grounds, and a bit of a walk up and down Main Street. Sunday. Beautiful restoration, beautiful grounds. Not a soul in sight.
That Churches have not pushed back against State heavy handedness over the last four months of Coronavirus perplexes. How are ya gonna get 'em back in the pews after months of non attendance.?
There is a bunch of research building to study this. Not just church going, but other practices too...kids sports, classroom or Zoom, and so on. Big changes afoot. Will they benefit civilizational growth as defined by sufficient individual freedom to maximize human potential for the most people? Or, will The Borg become the order of the day?

Raspberry shake venues in Garden City were mostly closed. The one or two places I saw opened, had long lines.

"Cokeville Hostage Crisis"
The Cokeville Elementary School hostage crisis occurred on Friday, May 16, 1986, in Cokeville, Wyoming, United States, when former town marshal David Young, 43, and his wife Doris Young, 47, took 136 children and 18 adults hostage at Cokeville Elementary School.
Cokeville Elementary School hostage crisis Location, Cokeville, Wyoming, United States Date May 16, 1986; 34 years ago
Attack type
School bombing, hostage situation, suicide attack Deaths2 (both perpetrators)
Injured79
Perpetrators David Young and Doris Young
David Young entered the school with his wife transporting a large gasoline-filled device that appeared to be a bomb. The couple corralled a large group of students and teachers into a single classroom. David attached the bomb trigger to his wrist and threatened the group that he might, at any time, move his arm and ignite the bomb.
After a two-and-a-half hour standoff, the children were becoming restless, so the teachers preoccupied the kids in the form of movies, games, prayer, and books. David became increasingly agitated, and decided to leave the room. Before leaving the room, David attached the bomb's detonation device to his wife's wrist.
When the children became increasingly loud, Doris Young began begging the teachers to settle the group down. At one point she lifted her arm sharply and the bomb went off prematurely, injuring Doris while David was out of the room. Returning to the scene, David shot his wife, then himself. All the hostages escaped, though 79 were later hospitalized with burns and injuries, the majority of which were severe.
79 of the hostages suffered injuries, mostly second-degree burns, smoke inhalation, and other injuries from the exploding bomb. The injured were triaged to several area hospitals in Wyoming and Idaho. Several children reported seeing angels in the classroom that day, including many children who claimed to have seen a "beautiful lady" or person all in white who told them to go near the window. Other children reported seeing an angel over each child's head.
