Now that’s a surreal example of the new “normal”.
The ice cream truck just came through the neighborhood playing the usual music. What’s surreal is that the guy selling ice cream is wearing a face mask and the people buying are all patiently waiting their turn about 10’ apart in family groups with their kids taking turns and coming up one at a time until it’s the next family’s turn...all wearing masks.
It used to be about a minute or two at each stop as everyone rushed the truck, but now I have been listening to the music from the truck for the past 15 minutes and there is still a line waiting to get their turn. The families walk away and after a few yards, remove their masks and enjoy the special treat they just got.
Life may never be the same again...not in a bad way necessarily...just different...and somehow surreal.
