Ssalefish GSO First Look #155 for 3.25.20
One of the best parts of this insane week has been going up to Pilot Mountain to hike with Lois and my parents on Sunday. The serenity I felt on the 7.5 miles trek brought me back to going rock climbing with my dad at Looking Glass Rock outside Brevard in October 2016, when I was trying to figure out what the next step in my life should. I should make more time for that kind of distancing from everything more often to make room for the clarity that it brings.
Another very heartening thing was seeing the attitudes of people in the food & beverage industry out in the world. From the crew restocking the Walmart Neighborhood Market near my house, to the waiter that made himself some lemonade by coming to pick up his comics first thing Wednesday morning from the lemons of being essentially laid off by his breakfast restaurant job, to the same smiling folks that make my coffee every morning including this morning, these are people that are providing us with a heroic sense of normalcy in a world that’s becoming less and less certain by the day, often for substandard pay.
If you’re in the retail or food & beverage industry, suspended or active, we’d like to do our part in saying “thank you” by offering 20% OFF a graphic novel of your choice to help you while away the time while on the bench or decompress from what has to be a pressure cooker of a work day. Just bring proof of a most current pay stub and we’ll hook you up.
