Funny how that works. They tell us stuff like that and then change story
and get people parroting that line about following the science. Yeah,
the "science" that they lied about. I wear a mask where I have to. I do
not wear one outside. I shake my head in wonder when I see people
driving around with one. It's understandable if they are in town and
making multiple stops, but sort of pointless on the highway when they
are alone.

Me, too. As soon as I hit the exit door of a store off it comes like everybody
else that is leaving.

I see people up and down my street headed to the dog park and mothers
pushing baby strollers. Not a soul within 200 feet of them but they're
masked up as if they're on their way to perform brain surgery.

For me it depends on how many are milling about. I take it off when I
condider it safe enough.

I can honestly say when I do remove it there's never anyone in close
proximity. Occasionally my hands are so full it doesn't come off until
I reach the car.

Same here...stores only, not outside.

That said, sometimes I'll walk to the nearby store early mornings and I
always have the mask with me (for the store). On cold mornings, I'll
wear the mask while walking to and fro. Not for virus protection but
just to breathe warmer air.

on the colder winter days i have to wear a thick scarf
which preheats the air very nicely. my lungs hate it
otherwise.

Mom used to knit very thick rugs to use as cushions
for standing at the sink, using multiple strands of yarn
and large needles, they are very nice for doing anything
for very long.

one winter having gotten very sick of fighting the
scarf i was wearing always gettting tangled when i was
shovelling snow i asked her to make a few short round
scarfs with the ends tied together so that they would
fit exactly around my neck and face and i had her make
a few specially fitted so they could be put on over
each other to give yet another layer of insulation.
very warm and very useful.

i call them my foreskins. she made one for herself
she calls her playskin. we have a fun sense of humor
around here.
