I went to Lowe's AND Home Depot yesterday and wore no mask. This has been true for me for weeks now. Whitmer can suck a dong, and so can the mask people that would venture to let me know what they think I should have over my face.

Yeah, I'm going to keep a mask in the car for those businesses that demand it, but otherwise I think I'm done with that.

Same here, the wife and I hug our son and his wife on a regular basis (at least once a week). We even buy a beer from then local 7-11 and everyone has one. It's tough living on edge. Scary as hell.

I may have said it before, I don’t mind wearing a mask in the store, in fact I kind of like it. I also like all the attractive women! It’s amazing how good they all look when you can’t see most of their faces! My problem is I keep forgetting they can still see my eyes.

I tried to shake hands with my barber but he wasn't havin' it. I guess I can't say I blame him. He is coming on close contact with strangers, although I've known him for sixteen years.
I'm assuming that this is temporary. A year from now, I would hope that (most) everyone is back to normal behavior, either out of knowledge and hindsight, or just plain old forgetting about the black plague.

Where are you coming from? I wished Balze and his family the best (my next post), and said there is no way that I would not wear a mask if MY EMPLOYER required it. Problems with that? Apparently so???

sgalczyn: You don't seem right. Is everything OK?
I think he mistakenly attributed my pic to you and tried to make a joke about "mesh lingerie."
Anyway, thank you for your well wishes. I wish you and your family the same. We're doing well. Heading up to Bear Lake towards the end of the month to get out of Summit County and enjoy nature a bit. Take care

I went to Home Depot today to get a few things. A lot of cars in the lot, but NO lines to get in. The "cattle chute" length out front was 1/2 of what it was, and I walked right on in with no waiting......without a mask. There were a few mask wearers inside, but not a large %.
Made a stop at Wine & More for some liquid libations, and, again, no line, and no masks!! Things are looking better here in Az.

Don’t remember where I saw it. But someone mentioned that after 1918, no one really talked about it. It’s as if it was such a horrible shared experience, people just wanted to move on.

There is no place (in the USA) more corrupt than Illinois.
