I posted this link on May 2 as a PS to my post of May 1. Since it came from the Chicago Tribune I'm surprised that Uncle Ken is unfamiliar with it. I seem to remember that Detroit and California have been having similar problems, but that probably came from the TV news so I can't provide any links. Then there's that security guard in Flint who was murdered by a couple of Black guys because he asked a friend of theirs to either put on a mask or leave the store. Last I heard all three perpetrators were in custody, one of whom was apprehended in far away Texas.
Just before our governor's state of emergency expired, she added some new restrictions which many people believed were excessive, one of them being the mask rule. Our legislature wanted to negotiate some of these before extending the state of emergency, but she refused, so they didn't extend it. Now that the state of emergency has expired, I wouldn't expect any law enforcement personnel to try to enforce the governor's orders because they are null and void. Even before that, several of the county sheriffs in the region indicated that they had better things to do than enforce such chicken shit rules, or words to that effect.
As I have said before, I will put on my bandana mask if somebody asks me to. What I should do is comply under protest and file a lawsuit, but I will leave that to somebody who has more time and energy to spare than I do. I went to Save-a-Lot today. Some people, perhaps the majority, were masked and some were not. I even saw one unmasked employee, who was going out the door as I was coming in maskless. She smiled at me and continued out into the parking lot to round up carts. I don't know if she donned a mask when she went back in, but I like to think that she did not.
Cheboygan County is still reporting only 19 cases and one death. Today they started reporting recoveries, of which there have been nine so far. That leaves only nine active cases in a county of over 26,000 people. I think most of us took the virus seriously in the beginning, but we are getting tired of it by now and want to get on with our lives.
My wife and I have been cutting my hair for decades now. I do the front part and she does the back part. I have offered to do hers on numerous occasions, but she has always declined.
