The Lorax of Men

Yesterday, at Fred’s Mercantile, a man with no face attacked. He scolded me for not wearing a mask. When I disagreed, he told me that I must not be from around here. He was casting me out of his land. He demanded I stand back from him. I would not. I sunk into my boots and opened my lips like a lion: “I’ve lived here for fifteen years. I dug the irrigation trench at the wildlife sanctuary. I climbed the roofs of the Alpen to install the ski camera. I built the town’s website for tourism. I served the council and built the park on the hill. Fred’s dog peed on my cabinet when she followed me home after a rainstorm.”

I congratulate people I see in stores w/o masks. If they ask why I say, “For having common sense.”

Covid vaccination is now readily available for adults.

Treatment is available for Covid fear.

Uh No! There is no “cure” for OCD and its manifestations regardless of the lies you’ve been told!

Except that nothing changes after you are vaccinated. You still have to wear a mask. You still can't gather in groups, etc.

The reason the Left wants even vaccinated people to continue to wear masks is they think it will encourage the non-vaccinated to rip them off and run amok, giving each other COVID at rates not previously seen, and make the now-in-charge Democrats look bad. They think we are morons with no sense of responsibility.

They aren’t masks.

They’re muzzles.

I see it differently. I believe, whatever we may think, the proprietor has the right to ask us to wear, shoes, short, or a mask to enter. Where I applaud defiance is stores that stayed open, churches that stayed open, and people who ignored household gathering limits.

I posted this elsewhere, and am doing so here as I am still shaking my head in disbelief of the insanity of it all:

Wife and I were in a Utah COSTCO yesterday - Utah went “no mask” April 10. Girl at the door still wearing a mask and handed out two to us. Went around the store with mask over mouth, everyone else bundled up tight, but no one said anything.

Go past one of the sample stations - charcoal grilled chicken strips looked good - no samples on those little paper cups but they are inside a transparent plastic box. ??? I ask for one and the guy says “Until these masks come off, we can’t offer any.” Hmmm, a sample station that can’t give out samples - display only.

On checkout, the clerk is wearing a face shield, wears plastic gloves and is behind a plastic screen. “Please sir, put your mask over your nose.” GREAT temptation to ask if she is on a power trip or is she THAT afraid. She looked distressed, so I clammed up.

This Covid B/S has really revealed what a bunch of wimps many are - I never would have believed it.
