6. I encountered a mask-wearing 70-something woman at a grocery store yesterday

She hadn't yet seen me, so I said "who the heck still wears a mask?"

She whirled around, clearly ready to stomp the dumbass who asked such an asinine question, when she saw that I was also masked.

Then she laughed brightly and said "can't be too safe."

I completely agree with her.


Covid aside, I haven't caught a cold since the pandemic began, and I attribute this to dedicated mask use and more careful hand washing & sanitizing. I'm in no hurry to abandon the mask.

people who care will continue to mask Skittles Sep 2022 #1
