| LIFE CV-19: Effects on life, work, and sports

Good Lord.... These politicians need to read the constitution and accept people have freedom to make choices whether you like it or not. When they start telling me I can't go inside my own house but to go to the bathroom and can only have thanksgiving outside they have gone waaaaay to far. Maybe that is what it is going to take to get people to open their eyes. I am all for doing something as a good neighbor for someone else but not as a mandate sorry.

I mean, it's right there in front of folks' faces. One damn guy thinking he has the power to force everyone to do what he says. I don't care what's out there, we the people have our freedoms. Idiots that abide by this are surrendering their freedom of life. You want to talk about modern day slavery, here it is right here. You're right when you say slavery is alive and well when you have politicians thinking they can force the masses to listen to their every word. Work in unity as a society, quit the bullcrap and being mean to each other. mind your business and produce for yourself and your family, but quit letting a handful of politicians dictate every day life for everyone at this point. Just ridiculous.

By the way, I love California's ban on straws not too long back as an environmental savior, only to enforce single helping instruments and tools for Thanksgiving. You can't make the craziness up.
 
A friend and I had to pick up his grand daughter from her school (K5) this week. It's one thing seeing all the kids dressed the same in their school uniforms. That's pretty much "accepted" now a day, the norm if you will.

However, seeing 100's of school kids, that young, all wearing the same uniforms and essentially the same masks...it was row after row of faceless children. It's really an unnerving site.

Saw this yesterday on an ex-colleagues Facebook post.



I'm dumbfounded.

Not how to live life in my opinion.

I only went 2 months without a trip to the barber shop, March-May and that was only because they were all shutdown. Once they reopened in May, I started going again and have been monthly ever since. Some people I know STILL have not had a haircut since back before Covid came to the US and my goodness, they look like they just escaped from a mental institution. I don't understand what's still scaring them after all this time. These same people will go out and do other things, but yet still won't get a haircut? It's... baffling
 
A friend said he picked up a Crimson version in the Supestore; or, could have picked up one. Ends up, made in _ _ _ _ _ .

I looked a couple months ago on Amazon for a similar style, but with the US flag or patriotic symbols and such on it. Found several from a few different companies, but all were apparently made in China so I passed. I'll just keep rocking the blue surgical masks when I have to wear one (which is also probably made in China but costs me nothing).

When this mask mandate starting hitting box stores I ran into Home Depot to pick up something; can't recall what other than it was an 'in and out' type of trip—two of us, one mask.

I can't remember the count but do remember the box was right at $40. My first thought was "price gouging," to be honest. They didn't have single mask, you couldn't come in the store without one UNLESS it was to buy a box. $40 bucks to pick up something less than $5. To say the least that turned me off, quickly, but no other recourse since it was a Home Depot item.

I was walking into Publix this afternoon to pick up a few things. I get to the doors and go to put on my (surgical style) mask, and pop, the elastic string breaks. Well, I really needed that Boar's Head bologna, so I went on in sans mask and got my stuff and left. Felt liberating. Felt free for the first time since March.

Imagine how free you'd have felt if you took your pants off too.

Boar's Head is a rule breaker. A game changer. I haven't had their bologna—not really a fan—but if it's like their others?

I haven't been to Publix since spring (delivery a few times) so I can't comment on where they stand here locally. Even with mayor's orders one place that has never followed the mandate was Ace Hardware. In fact, in the last month or so I can't recall a store I entered that required them to be worn. Again, quite a bit of delivery but that's not been that much of a change from pre-spring.

I won't be there having already taken care of my business but I do wonder what the polling precincts will look like today. It's surreal thinking about the idea you can vote without an ID but can't without a mask.
