What I saw from my vacation at Rehoboth Beach, DE

In Rehoboth everyone wore masks in stores and restaurants. In one store on the boardwalk had " trump 2020" masks amongst others however as most of the others had spaces where people had purchased them the trump masks were full.

On the way home only saw one trump sign in DE. What got me though as we enter PA I saw only three trump signs especially as came closer to home. In 2016 around my home it was loaded with trump signs at this time of year. So I'm looking at that as a very good sign.

P.S. I don't Biden signs are out till he's officially nominated.

I know because my elderly mother asked to get one, and we ordered it for her from the Biden store. It arrived recently, but we told her not to put it out until after Labor Day (since it will probably get stolen anyway!).

I'm in Newark, DE so I don't have to go far to see Trump signs. Just a few miles down the road when I cross into Elkton, MD Saw tons of Trump signs on the Eastern Shore heading down to Hatteras NC a couple of weeks ago, plus our rig was surrounded by other rigs flying them at the campground. I'm hoping northern county still has enough sane people to compensate for lower two counties in DE when we vote.

Glad the people in Rehoboth were wearing masks. My son went down to Cape Henlopen in Lewes for the day. Almost two hour drive down early in the morning. By 10:30, they picked up and headed home because people weren't abiding by the distancing and mask rules. He and his GF's family did Longwood Gardens last night and said that with the exception of a few families wanting to wedge into open space between people to see the fountain show, everyone was pretty well behaved.

They've been shutting down entrance to the park to limit the number of visitors, to allow distancing. Bummer that people weren't. I like to get to the beach after 3:00 PM because I don't like extreme heat and I've been to Cape Henlopen a few times this summer. I can get in and enough people have left that I haven't had a problem.

I was at the Indian River Inlet yesterday and saw a big obnoxious Trump flag on an RV at the campground that I had to walk by to get to the ocean. No probs there on the beach.

And there's a Trump sign on some business as you enter Lewes. I've never been to whatever it is and never would go there now. Ick.

I've heard this several times, from several Trumpers (not directly, through other people; I shun them...lol):

They're afraid to put out signs for fear that Antifa will shoot up their home!!!!

SERIOUSLY.
