No, but I’ve observed people taking calls on speakerphone in restaurants. If I owned a restaurant there would be a sign upon entry stating that this sign is your only warning. The next communication will be to ask you to leave if you take a call in the dining room. I did see this at a hotel (Austin NAHBS actually) which stated that there would be zero tolerance for rowdy behavior or excessive noise and that the sign stating such was the only warning.
The other day a gentleman took a call in the restaurant and immediately left to complete the call elsewhere, in a more appropriate location for a call. I really appreciated this. Manners matter.

La Cheeserie!
We moved into a house less than two years ago. Between freezes, disease, multiple severe wind events, and tropical storms, we have lost every single tree. There was a productive 24" dia pecan in the front yard that shaded the house. Now there is a patch of mulch. It's heart breaking.
Along with defspace, I'm trying to bring a dozen rose bushes back to life. While we were in Wyoming this summer, some critter chewed through the main irrigation line before the rose bushes, so one spot became a bog, while everything downstream didn't get watered. We live in the Mohave Desert (Mojave in California, Mohave in AZ) and the rest of the yard is desert landscape so the rose bushes are the only plants that are critical.

Day late so I'll complain about two things.
I figured I'd come back from Italy refreshed and recharged and ready to hit the ground running. Get back on the bike, put finishing touches on the greenhouse (floor, benches, paint the sill). Nope. Covid. My get up and go done got up and went. The brain fog is real. I practice piano for 15 minutes and need a lie down.
The bear. A bear has been seen twice now within a half mile of my house. Once right a the end of my street. Do you think it could come and hang out in my back yard for a bit? Heck no. I hope it makes it to a better bear location without running into some bonehead, though.
