100% maskage at supermercado and pharmacia.  :showoff:

Suck on that Kentucky.

I'm starting to develop a taste for the sexiness of women in masks.

Everywhere in Hamilton County I've seen 100% while inside a public place of business.  On Monday I absent-mindedly walked into Chipotle without mine on.  Dude yelled at me before I could even get through the door.

Clermont County, which is about 2.5 miles from my house, is also under a mandatory mask order (though looking at their case numbers I'm not sure why), but you do not see nearly as much maskage there.

City of Anchorage just announced new order reducing indoor capacity 25% for bars and clubs, 50% for restaurants and general establishments. Churches and gatherings back down to no more than 50 people. 

All comes on announcement a few days ago that city (and pretty much state) is projected to max out icu beds by September 1 with current pace of new cases. Prior to that announcement it was projected to be ok til like Halloween at old projections.

Sexy women's eyes are sexy.  Masks accentuate that.  I'm with Yi.

Btw, Agassi said he wore a hair piece for much of his career to have his at the time "rebel" look; and he didn't like it at all after a while. :)

Also, if you'd told me 80s me that in the future I would be having video calls with people around Europe and North America on a regular basis I would have been excited and wowed.

As is often the case, the future turned out to be more boring than we imagined it to be.

I remember thinking when posting on boards back in the 1990s internet that maybe if we all could have been posting on the internet in 1914 maybe World War I might not have happened.

Then, over time, I realized that actually no it would have been worse :P

I distinctly remember shortly after 9/11 visiting the Afghan web and seeing the Pashtuns and Tajiks brutaly flaming each other in the middle of an actual civil war. Yeah the internet isn't going to bring us all together after all.
