I try to never go into that vile place, but I have an injured mother I’m attending to and she needed me to go there to get groceries in preparation for her brother coming into town next week. He himself has been dedicated to tending to a near vegetable of a wife for the past 30 years who passed away several months ago. I fully believe years of drinking NOTHING but Diet Pepsi is what put her in that condition in the first place (aspartame). He hasn’t left her side basically for that many years and my mom is flying him in from Louisiana to Maryland to give him a well deserved reprieve after so many years of giving of himself to his wife. Anyway, going to Hellmart in Maryland today, I was literally the ONLY one I could see, out of hundreds of people in there, without a mask on. It just blows me away that so many people are still afraid of the rona, so afraid of stepping up to speak against mandates, and so afraid about what others will think or say to them. Literally no one said a word to me and I had a friendly young cashier who didn’t say anything either. I always have a response or two ready for anyone that might address me and today I was going to start with “the longer you keep wearing them, the longer this will continue” and “ aren’t you tired of trying to enforce tyranny?” Never needed to say anything though. I just wish I could instill in people what’s happening and get them all to stand up against it. It’s a sad site to behold.

I was in Montgomery County yesterday where they have "mask requirement" and I never carry one. The Trader Joe's manager came up to the Mrs. and me after about 5 mins with a box of masks. We went into a restaurant as well but nobody seemed to care that we weren't wearing one.
Yeah, this was Montgomery County MD too
The more rural, the less masks. Carroll County, more non-masked than masked. Clarksville in Howard County about the same, but once you hit Columbia, almost everyone is masked. In Carroll County this weekend, 99% masked even though not required.
