Evidence this AM that most people are post - COVID, but sadly, COVID

[NewHendoLib]

is not post people.

We perused the local apple festival here. essentially a state fair positioned on main street ( the usual...rides, music, big turkey legs, fried stuff, and crafts).

Masks? My wife and I were in the 0.5% max. I felt we witnessed a super spreader event.

So sad. No words, really.

1. My county implemented a county wide mask mandate yesterday:

All individuals 2+ are required to wear masks in all indoor settings regardless of vaccination status.

Prior to this, however, hardly anyone wore a mask inside the stores, & no one wore a mask outside.

15. My whole state implemented an indoor mask mandate that started on 8/31, and I'm so glad!

This is after having one in place from March something 2020 to June 7, 2021. People seem to be cooperating pretty well from what I've seen so far (at least in my neck of the woods). 🤞

2. "Are you going to the Apple Festival?" They all asked...

Um, Not real big on crowded crowds crowding together.

No Apple festival last year, and our numbers are worse.

Sadly, not nearly enough masks in the area, and all sorts of out of town plates this weekend--took ten more minutes getting to the other side of town yesterday afternoon.

Love the crafty stuff, and checking out the Hendo bears, but I'll take a hard pass this year.

Stay Safe, NHL!!

That's about as close as I want to be this year.
I'll get my honey crisps at the store.

Coffee and mountains....

13. I think we could drum up a few others. seems like a pretty DU rich area

14. Maybe end of the month--it's golf season!

California transplant. It has a certain Lake Tahoe/Santa Cruz without the ocean feel here.

I used to read about DU meet up, years ago. Lurked since '03.
Maybe we need secret hand signals....

have a good weeked!

9. I was up in Hot Springs last week. Something called the Wild Goose Festival going on.

I saw very few masks. I was off by myself, so no worries, but the trip into town surprised me.

11. don't you have better things to do than haunt DU? so pathetic
