Today’s blog is all about the grocery store.

Two things.

Masks. In the past two years, I have seen about two people without masks on in the grocery store. And both of them were wearing masks before they saw me without one on. TWO YEARS!!!

I have worn a mask three times in the past year. Twice to get my hair cut and once at my cousin’s funeral last week. And I took my mask off halfway through the service.

I just don’t have it in me to pretend that the masks are for anyone’s benefit. It’s pure theatre at this point and I cannot go along with it.

The point is, if you are reading this, and want to take your mask off, please do it. The longer we keep going along with this bullshit, the harder it will be to reverse course. Our government leaders are never going to wake up one day and tell us we don’t have to wear them anymore.

Find yourself a neck gaiter and put it on. Have it on around your neck and if store managers or whomever give you shit, just slide it on your face and carry on. You don’t have to be rude about it. I strongly believe that most people in the store like seeing mask-less faces and it might even inspire them to do it next time.

If you want to take the mask off, then take it off. If you don’t want to take the mask off, then don’t take it off. It’s simple.

If you are hesitant or worried, the best way to do this is gradually. You can even slide your gaiter down for like one isle when you’re the only one in it. See how it feels. And then when you’re ready, try having it off for the entire trip.

Today the store security guard walked past me twice with my bare face. He didn’t say a word.

We are the ones who are dragging this on.
