Pretty fun exchange at Safeway after shopping tonight! I walk out with a full cart and a guy walking toward the store is looking at me kinda funny, like I’m confusing him. He walks up and awkwardly says, "are we allowed to not wear masks in there now?" I go, "we never had to. It's been up to you this whole time. I don't wear one while I'm shopping and haven't for months now. I saw a few others without a mask to. Totally up to you I guess." He says, "awesome, thanks!" I watched him walk in and tuck his mask into his back pocket. As an aside, I saw more people while shopping without a mask today than I have this entire time. Still more masked than non but more non by a long shot! Anyhow, it was neat seeing someone take a red pill and immediately get excited and I wanted to share.

The 2nd article is flat-out wrong about stations named Standard having disappeared by the 1950s under new branding.
Where I grew up, in St. Louis, in the '60s and '70s there were Standard stations all over town. The station nearest our home where we always filled up was a Standard.
