Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 18, 2020

I get my exercise walking in the woods and running away with picanic baskets.

I’ve seen that sometimes at the grocery store I work at and ask maskless shoppers if they need a mask which it eurekas them and makes them return to their car, but I say I can rush into the store and get them one.

I almost solved that problem by wearing it as a bracelet, when outside.

This is me most of the time. If I know I’m going to need it, I try to lay it over my phone that usually sits on the passenger seat charging. Usually works but not always.

Mask hangs from the rear view mirror. Hard to forget that way ;-)

Sad times indeed. Tradition is, that’s the place for a brides garter.

I don’t want mine there. What if it absorbs all the heat in the car?

One word… Pockets

Been there done that many times.

We keep ours in the glove box with the gloves.

I have one that hangs around my neck and I can easily pull up. Still have a spare in the console.

We leave ours sitting on the console so I rarely forget it and usually put it on before getting out of the vehicle. If I do forget, I’m usually not more than a few steps away when I get that ‘naked’ feeling.

We made lanyards and just leave them hanging about our necks like reading glasses.

I’ve only had to do that once so far.

Some weeks ago, a guy in the grocery, trying to make light of this hell, says he forgot his mask, and was walking back to his car, to drive home and get it. And there on the pavement was a used mask! The one he is wearing. He got some real social distancing.

Like old dogs.. it’s hard to learn new routines.

We’ve got some locally-owned stores that have people to not wear a mask while in their store so their cameras can see them. Most other stores don’t care whether you have one on or not so about half of the people do not wear one, and each time I have to go to the store, I see more and more people of all ages without them. One place has a sign on the door requesting masks but none of their employees have them on, so very few customers do as well.

Just when I get used to the darn thing masks will be a thing of the past(soon I hope).

Please don’t hang masks…or handicap parking tags…from your rear-view mirror. The parking tags even state this on them. Good way to block your vision and cause an accident, miss seeing that pedestrian, motorcycle, etc.

Worthless. If you experienced what I have the last several months, most medical people would rather be w/o them, too.

LOL! I did that twice yesterday.

I have several masks with beads threaded onto the elastics to tighten them. Bought reading glasses cords at the dollar store & slipped the ends over the beads. Works perfectly.

At home, I hang my mask du jour over my keys on the same hook. If I want to go out, I have to move the mask to get to the keys.

see the reflection in the door glass and then turn around

Not this plugger…

This is true. Happens 3 or 4 times some days

I keep a disposable one in my back pocket for the times I forget to take one with me.

Boy this is so true

It’s hard for me to remember a thing that affects only .03 of 1 percent of the US population.
