From CBS Sunday Morning-
In rural Sackets Harbor, N.Y., where COVID-19 affected the local volunteer ambulance service's ability to respond to calls, local high school students took the required training and picked up the slack. Correspondent Steve Hartman talked to some of the teenagers who are stepping up to aid their community.
I have a lot of respect for volunteer fire and police. These volunteer groups want to be there helping. This desire to help is an important part of a cohesive community seeming lost.
Seems that the volunteer groups have been "red tape" discouraged around here.

Again- CBS Sunday morning
Ms. Becky's Place has been a welcoming spot for generations of residents of Dawson Springs, Ky. Now, after the town was devastated by tornadoes in December, the diner has reopened, returning a sense of normalcy, and a source of comfort, to a town still reeling from the deadly storms. Correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti talks with proprietress Beck James, who is helping keep her battered community on its feet.

Again- CBS Sunday morning
In good times and bad, New Orleans musicians have been schooled and raised in a unique culture, one that was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, when the streets of the Big Easy were unnaturally quiet and empty, and much of the music moved online. "Sunday Morning" senior contributor Ted Koppel meets with musicians back out in front of audiences sharing their music while perpetuating a French Quarter tradition of street performance; and with the creative director of Preservation Hall, which was founded to help preserve a unique American legacy: the New Orleans jazz artist.

Again- CBS Sunday morning
Demonstrating once again, things go better with an owner on the floor.
It's a Texas institution with a national footprint: a chain of road stop convenience stores the size of the Lone Star State, with a smiling cartoon beaver mascot and a devoted following. Correspondent Luke Burbank travels to Buc-ee's to find out why customers are so driven to visit. (Is it the award-winning bathrooms?)
Hoping for continuing success!

Naw, I think it's the brisket tacos! On my road trips north, I have one Buc-ee's north of the DFW area picked out for gas, food, and...yes the bathroom!
