What are you eating right now?

You nailed it. Not sure how long you have lived in PNW - and not focused on one type of food - but in general restaurants have sucked, especially in smaller towns until the restaurant renaissance - probably started when late baby boomers (b 1955-1964) became affluent middle agers ca 2005 or so. There are many laggards to this day. And they made it through C-19
Well... if you define "sucked" to mean most restaurants served short order diner food, a la Denny's then, yeah. That's mostly what you would find prior to WWII with some local variation prompted by patterns of immigration. Many small towns had one "regular" restaurant and an "exotic" option like Chinese or Italian. After WWII was when you started to see a large increase in diversity of food choices.

I don't know if I could live in a world without Mexican or Thai food. ;)

Only in the last 15-20 years have we had "real" Chinese food (not AM Chinese food)

I may have been up the creek last night. A tower must have been down. My cell phone and life alert did not work.
Only thing working was my land line. I finally put a phone on the floor. If I fall, it's pretty iffy if I can get back up by myself.
That was I could crawl to the phone if necessary.

Sorry to hear about that JD. All of us on BITOG hope your health improves. If I was your brother, I would kidnapp you out of rural western Iowa and move you into a 55 plus community. I suspect you would thrive and revive in a 55 plus community, but not sure you could handle all the courting coming your way from the wealthy widows.

I'm too young at heart to hang out around old people!

Had a taste of that in the nursing home last year. ;)

Wife and I are living in a vrbo located in a 55+ communit for three months as we prepare for our next chapter. It is not a nursing home, far from it. Very lovely, lively, and super nice community. We never would have guessed how nice it is.
 
Been thinking of getting a live-in helper. Free rent, food, internet. She could even have an 8 hour a day job.
I would not know how to find a trustworthy one, though.

Great, now we are in a severe thunderstorm warning. Up to 90 MPH winds.
Probably get the new gutters torn off that I just had installed today!
:ROFLMAO: City warning sirens going off now.
