A friend of mine is in charge of a farmers marked. She walks around wearing a mask and carrying a 2-meter stick which she uses to help mark “stand here” Xs on the pavement, and to demonstrate distance to the hard of understanding. I did suggest a lance, but she thought it would be…
I saw something on CNET that advertised a glass tube that fits over your head and shoulders. Last night when I picked my wife up from the airport, I saw a guy with the usual mask but also with a full face, clear plastic shield in front of his face. Oy.
Just watch. . .within 24 hours. . .or 24 minutes. . .or even 24 seconds, someone WILL make an offer for these things on some etsy or Instagram site. . .and you can choose from a thousand different logos or colors to match your fav outfits. . .What’s that old song, “I’m in with in crowd. . .”
I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised, since everything is politicized these days. But the fact that wearing a face mask during a pandemic has become a hot button political statement leaves me wondering if there is any hope for ever bridging the widening chasm that divides us.
