@The_Big_Quiet Speaking of books - just finished yours - Breaking into the Backcountry. Loved it. Passed it onto my hubbie - a fly fisherman.

UPDATE: INDOOR DINING WILL NO LONGER RESUME ON THURSDAY.

We had planned to loosen restrictions this week. However, after #COVID19 spikes in other states driven by, in part, the return of indoor dining, we have decided to postpone indoor dining indefinitely.

@JamesRosenTV Normal is not static. That's what makes life interesting - and keeps news people employed. Stay well.

@The_Big_Quiet In a backpack. Have to keep them close at hand.

@chadludeman @dwell Sounds like The Not So Big House, 20 years later. With solar.

@JCastleWrites weeding, writing. bought some cabbage to make cole slaw - we'll see.

@vinbarone A lady from Staten Island was one of the only people on Cape May's beach promenade last week wearing a mask. https://t.co/evRj6mN7eZ

@chadludeman @CookeCapeMay The article's about pedestrian use, not dining. Very different.

[Cape May Writer @capemay]

@chadludeman @CookeCapeMay . Who will sanitize the tables between each use? What happens to the take-out containers left behind? Can people monopolize a table for hours? Who will stop them? Which #CapeMay residents will allow their street to be taken over by strangers at tables? Name the street.

@CoachJEB18 @CapeMayTimes Few people in #CapeMay on the streets, on the promenade, on the beach are wearing masks, despite state and county recommendations. Scary.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

NEW: @NewJerseyDEP has launched the #MaskUpNJ campaign to encourage more New Jerseyans to wear face coverings at New Jersey parks and beaches. Be a model for others. Take part.

If you think you look silly wearing a face covering – imagine how silly you’d look in a hospital gown.

@petegenovese For anyone who's grown up going to the shore, it's like time travel. Yes, you're older. You might not move as well as you used to. But when you stand on the sand and look out at the ocean, nothing's changed. You're ten years old again.

Any ideas about how to focus on #writing in the middle of this #COVID pandemic? It demands your full attention. Everything else shrinks in importance.

[Cape May Writer @capemay]

@CookeCapeMay It sounds like a nice idea for stand alone stores but, in these social distancing times, how will the Wash St. Mall manage the crowd of people window shopping and standing in line at all the stores along with the regular pedestrians, ice cream eaters etc.

Early beach goers headed to #CapeMay this weekend. But they left something important behind. #COVID19 #facemask

Prepping for Beach Season - #CapeMay beach goers started to arrive this week- a little early. Everyone was eager to soak up as much sun as they could. #coronavirus #facemasks @GovMurphy

@AnnDelaneyBeach It's understandable that people with medical issues are reluctant to travel. I'm amazed that anyone is willing to take a risk at the moment. Even if they do bring their own pillows. Are they younger or older?

@CookeCapeMay @GovMurphy Thanks for the info John. So the Governor must approve the restaurant openings - it's not a done deal. Big step.

[Cape May Writer @capemay]

@lrizzi95 @CookeCapeMay John - I hadn't heard anything about restaurants opening up for dine-in service in June...did I miss that? Last I heard it was just takeout or delivery.
