July 1st! Or as I like to call it, “another day in purgatory”; although, it’s been hotter than hell here in the Florida panhandle, so maybe I’ve skipped purgatory and just don’t know it yet.
Masks are mandatory here in Gadsden and Leon counties, yet the mandate doesn’t seem to be consistently enforced. I feel for business owners and mangers who are tasked with policing their own customers. Many can’t, or won’t, do it.
I’m certainly not going to confront a maskless person. That’s liable to get one shot in these parts. I do give great dirty looks—but I’m afraid the effect is lost since all the offenders can see are my eyes. I am good at squinting though.
Peace, people!
Just after I posted that we are not mandated to wear masks, the legislation passed. Indoor venue means mask or no service now. (Starting next week.)
I’m sure resistance will flare up shortly. Sigh.

I just read that in Texas a group called “Bar Lives Matter” is protesting the closure of drinking establishments. And in the photo I didn’t see a single mask.

I’m trying to get everyone to put masked pictures in their social media profiles. Maybe peer pressure will work that way.

It just occurred to me that my WordPress profile pic shows only my eyes! Maybe I was prescient.

I’m at the western end of the Panhandle and we are to wear masks only in the city limits. A city north of us mandated masks. Residents went into such a tear–violation of their rights, dontcha’ know–so their mayor rescinded. What in the freakin’ hell???

It’s crazy. I had to go to Dick’s sporting goods today and there was an unmasked man outside the store fuming because they wouldn’t let him in.

I wish your “getting shot” comments were just your way of being funny …. 😦

Me, too. I’m always aware that the wrong word to the wrong person could result in a shooting. In some ways, wearing a mask helps because I can mutter to myself and no one’s the wiser.

Oh, I LOVE that craft analogy! We just went on a mask mandate and… it’s going to be interesting. I’m thinking it would make me loads happier if I could hole up in the house for the next year or so.

Me, too! I do worry about those who are financially impacted by this whole thing. But if we’d all done the right thing consistently from the start we might be over the worst!
