Since last Friday I've been all over several states, some with mask orders and some with just local ordinances. I've not worn one anywhere and haven't had anyone say anything to me or anyone else not wearing one. I was in Helen Ga (no ordinance) for 3 days and very few people were wearing mask and most seemed unconcerned with social distancing. I came back through Chatanooga with signs up everywhere about mandatory mask. I went in 2 gas stations and a restaurant and not a word was said and less than a third of the customers were wearing mask. I just stopped by a Pilot station in Kentucky where the Governor has issued mandatory mask orders and only 2 people out of the dozen or so customers were wearing mask and the workers were pleasant and didn't seem to mind at all.. A week ago I was in Montgomery Al and was working on a customer's credit card machine (with no mask) and a Sheriff Deputy (black guy) came in with no mask. We exchanged small talk and nothing was mentioned about a mask. I'm starting to think the government might have picked the wrong battle and that many people have had all the government over reach they are gonna take. I know there are plenty of mask police around but maybe they are starting to realize they aren't in control and that it might be to the detriment of their own health to try forcing their own beliefs on other free people.

That's cool. But try and enter the VA Hospital (or any Hospital) or Dr.s office without one, and get back with us lol.

I have an appointment with my eye doc tomorrow and they said I'll get my temp taken at the door and will have to wear a mask. I'm ok with that short time with a mask on to get my eye looked at.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

But i will say this though, i got little ugly with a woman in the DG the other day. My son and his friend walked in about 6 steps ahead of me, and i overheard the lady tell them they couldn't come in without a mask, so i scanned the store and noticed that majority of shoppers "did not have masks on" but they were also adults, so she singled them out 🤬

I had to put on a mask in Jackson, Wy...for the 2 min I walked in to a shop and then said eff this, and in a hotel lobby just outside of Kansas City. Nowhere else cared, even the stores in Yellowstone. It was posted but multiple people were exercising their God given right to Liberty ETA: Screw Jackson, WY. I hope I never have to go back. Cody, Wyoming, on the other hand, is awesome

My wife took my son to the pediatrician yesterday and no one in the office had on masks. Our pediatrician told my wife about a month ago they had not had a single positive in children and had quit testing. He was not at all concerned about the virus with children, and he told my wife he was wearing a mask more as a courtesy to the parents than out of legitimate concern of the virus. Keep in mind this is a probably 70 year old pediatrician

The few times I have had to wear one i just pretend I am a bank robber from an old western. My gaiter kinda has that pattern.
