Crazy because I'm just north of you (by San Clemente) and nobody wears them outside here. A couple weeks ago I went on a three hour bike ride and decided to keep a count of how many people I passed by, not people in cars, but people hiking when I was on the trail, or walking on sidewalk, other bikes, etc. 122 people, 119 no mask, 2 wearing mask, 1 with mask under chin.
It just goes to show how people's trends are so influenced by other people around them, and trends can be so vastly different in areas that aren't even that far away from each other. That's why it's important not to give in and wear it, because then all the sheep take the lead and follow. When people see others without a mask they start joining in, and before you know it a change of trend is effected.
A new restaurant just opened in my neighborhood, a nice upscale place. We went after it had been open one week and were pleasantly surprised to see that only about 20% of the staff were wearing masks. I asked our waitress if the owner was there, he was, and came over to our table. I shook his hand and said "My food hasn't even gotten to the table yet, but I'm already a fan because the employees aren't masked." He said in the eight days they've been open there was only ONE single customer that complained. That just goes to show, everyone needs to stop listening to the tiny minority of loud mouth lib complainers, we are the majority and need to start flexing our collective strength.
