All the cameras are turned off in Normal, Mn: Fiction

Traumatic day today since i was unable to get to Betty Lou's coffee shop in time for the Bass fishermens coffee time---but being creative I did connect with zoom. Much of the wit of the bass fishermen is visual with all the rolled eyebrows and such and yes some grunts to spice things up--so I was very disappointed that all the cameras were turned off and i could only hear the muffled dialogue around the table. One of the guys explained the no camera policy. You have to have presence to be the fisherman. Virtual does not cut it. The world is filled with those who have forgotten how to show up. The coffee time is sacred here. I understood. Actually it could have been worse. The guys could have turned off their hearing aids. Stay tuned as I follow this story.
