oh wait it’s not true I haven’t been on a plane. I went to New Mexico in April 2 022 on an airplane. I remember traveling home the day Southwest airlines lifted their mask requirement. I probably wore one Anyway, I don’t remember.

I’m not bothered by wearing a mask and I wear N95s also because that’s what we have in our house due to construction.I don’t mind masks and I’ll wear one if the circumstances require it, and I might wear one if the circumstances suggest it, but I’m not rigid about it.

I did stop volunteering at Missouri botanical gardens back in, was it 2021? Or 2022? They required masks when working outside. Yeah I’m not gonna do that, bending over , sweating, weeding their gardens. nope not wearing a mask doing that. To be honest, I wasn’t a very good volunteer anyway. I like deadheading the Iris beds, but that’s it, I don’t want to be one of their regular weeding crew.
