+It's Memorial Day weekend.
+Last night I slept over at my friend Zach's house in Baraboo Wisconsin.
+Given the Wisconsin Supreme Court order, the local restaurants are now open again with reduced capacity (Baraboo is in Sauk County, not Dane).
+For the first time in weeks, I have brunch at a sit-down restaurant: Broadway Diner in downtown Baraboo.
+Things are different.
+They have every-other booth taped off, so customers cannot sit directly next to strangers.
+There are no paper menus, only QR codes to scan with your phone and download a PDF menu.
+There are no condiments, even salt and pepper, unless explicitly asked for.
+Still, it feels so nice to go back to relative normalcy.
+After brunch Zach and I go out to Devil's Lake for a nice long hike.
+There are lots of people enjoying the nice weather, and we see many rock climbers on the bluff.
