I think people just started to realize that they HAVE TO live their
lives and take care of their business no matter how much a bunch of
politicians want to....

I was afraid my core business customers were going to slow me down
pretty badly.  I had a day in November when I had finished every job on
the board.  The next day I got a large size custom job, and the day
after that another one, and now my custom jobs board is nearly full
while "stock" cuts are selling at a fair rate as well.

My ability to do my job has not been impaired.  Most of my materials are
delivered, and the few things I get locally I have delivery sources for
or the local business stayed open.  I don't need to go anywhere to run
my shop.  I just walk out the back door of the house and take about 40
steps or so to the back door of my shop and I am ready to work.  I never
even unlock the front door.  I just have to take packages out for the
mail carrier.  The only thing that hurt me a little was the utter
failure of the postal system for two and a half months.  UPS and FedEx
were not good alternatives either.  Sure I could use them, but then I
had to take time out of my work day to deliver packages to their depots.
  Basically pay more money for less service and paying time penalty as
well.

Ok... one little thing.  I think the Post Office may have tried to play
the system and blackmail congress into giving them the money infusion
they have been begging to get for so long.  They KNEW there was go
shipping increase, and they knew there was going to be a seasonal surge,
and the surge brought increased revenue in the package delivery area
where they claim they are profitable.

I also picked up a number of new customers who wanted molds because they
were stuck at home with nothing to do, or who were starting up new side
hustles to make money because they were stuck at home and not allowed to
work.
