Mission complete! I live maybe 15 minutes from Portland, OR. Almost 1 hour in Safeway without a mask tonight. Not one word from anyone or any weird looks except from the shopping cart kid who thought he'd flex on me by asking, "do you have a mask?" I said, "nope!" and kept on. Saw 2 other dudes with no masks and they smiled when they saw me and from down the aisle shouted, “how’s it going, dude?!” I replied, “all good and you?” They said, “awesome!” and that was that but they were just as stoked to see me without a mask as I was to see them without theirs.
STOP WEARING THE MASKS! I’m typically a push over but I had a shit day and needed to book a win to close it out, so I made my win happen. If I can stop with the mask nonsense, you can too!
Hats off to ya.. and I mean that .. isn’t it sad though that we find ourselves in a time where something so rudimentary and obviously waaaaay within the rights of free men and women be celebrated? It’s like we’re living in a psychotic alternate reality !!
Thank you! & yes, I completely agree! It seems and feels insane that going into a store without a mask would be anything to get anxious over, let alone something to be proud of or celebrated, yet here we are. We’re truly living in clown world.
