The tide has turned and I have noticed that I am usually the only un-masked in Home Depot or Alberton's here in sunny La Mirada California - about 15 miles east of Los Angeles.

Most times I there are few interactions with normies and the check out people never say anything regarding the posted mask requirement.

But, three times in the last week I have been confronted by customer normies.

Next time I want to be better prepared with a rational response.

Here is what happened:

1st - While pushing his cart passed me, a masked normy mumbled "jeez - put a mask on". I ignored him.

2nd - Standing in line, a double masked normy grunted under his mask when he spotted my naked face. He than turned around and told me to distance, since I was mask-less. I said that there is no distance requirement and that I don't wear face masks. I held my ground and he paid and left. I saw him commiserating with other masked normies in the parking lot as I walked past him to my car.

3rd - An masked, obese unhealthy, 60+ year old man in line told me that if his arm was not broken he would kick my ass - fyi I am 60. I told him to get a life and I held my ground. He continued complaining to me and the check out girl until he paid and left. I stayed silent. The check out girl had nothing but kind words for me after he left.

Next confrontation I am going to be prepared with something like this:

"I cannot wear a mask safely. I have a medical exemption, I am suffering from pragmatism, common sense, and the love of liberty."

Thoughts?
