"...Everyone visiting Disney World just wore masks, and if some dad resented having to do so, he endured his chagrin stoically, like a grown-ass man, scowling privately behind his mask on the Winnie the Pooh ride."

shows a skilled grasp of proper grammar, and exhibits a fabulous turn of phrase in almost every paragraph. I have absolutely no desire to visit any of Disney's parks. Thanks to this article, I don't need to. It's so well written it was almost like being there.

They were looking for Elvis impersonators for a show at the Contemporary. Security was much more lax then. He gave the person working at one of the admission booths a cock and bull story and we got in the park for free.

The airport where I had started my day, in Connecticut, had required masks, and everyone wore them. Here in Florida, some passengers went totally unmasked, but most wore masks in a defiant fashion, either slung under their chin or with their nostrils gaping out over the top, sucking and spewing potentially viral particles with every breath. A friend who lives a couple of hours away in St. Petersburg likens this latter style to wearing a condom that covers only the shaft.
