Gerald and his wife had some things to do today, including taking his mom to the doctor, so I got to spend the late morning and afternoon with Breyana. I really enjoy our time together because she’s just a generally good hearted kid. I don’t regret not marrying and having kids, but I do really think I would have very much enjoyed having a daughter. They’re just so much more fun than boys.
At any rate, I picked her up and we decided we would go for Mexican for lunch because as I said last night I’m cooked out, and she never gets to eat Mexican unless she is with me because her parents don’t really like it. Side note- I think a solid case could be made that that is child abuse. When I picked her up, she ran out to the car, hopped in, and I immediately barked “seatbelt” and followed up with “where’s your mask.”
She hasn’t been going to school in person so masking has not been a big deal for her, so she said she didn’t have one on her and “besides, I have been vaccinated anyway.” I looked at her and told her that is not the right way to look about it, and then proceeded to explain.
“The thing about masking is it isn’t about you. The masks offer a little bit of protection for you, the person wearing it, but what it really excels at is you not infecting other people. There are people who can not get vaccinated, or people like your grandmom who is currently at the doctor and if they catch this, it will kill them. Even if you are vaccinated, you can still carry the virus. So the way to think about the mask is it’s a minor inconvenience for you, but it is a big gift for everyone around you. I have a bunch of very nice masks sitting on the bench by the door, let’s swing by my house and you can take as many as you want if you promise to wear them when you are out in stores and restaurants and stuff.”
And she said ok, we went to my house and ran in the house giggling, grabbed a bunch of different colored masks, came out, and we went to the Mexican restaurant. We feasted. We went to the grand opening of Aldi’s and looked around and bought some things. Then we went to the public library and returned a book. And she, without complaint or displeasure, put her mask on every single time.
It was that easy. And I hope she continues to wear it when I am not around. Also, she loved Shang-Chi as much as I did.

When I went to daycare to pick up my four year old granddaughter, I was a little puzzled as to which one was her because the whole class was masked. I made some remark and she said, very slowly and patiently, “Grandma, that’s how we keep each other safe.” I was at her house once, when she came home with her dad. She was excited about her new pumpkin – she’d come the twenty minutes on the ride home and been in the house for ten minutes before she even realized that she still had her mask on. She’s beyond noticing things like that.
I walk by the elementary school playground almost half the kids forget to take the mask off while they are outside for recess. Just not an issue. Even my two year old granddaughter is used to it. Not a big deal at all.

Good kid. Were massive burritos consumed?

@Nelle: i pick up 8 year old granson from school. He sometimes forgets to take it off until we get home. His 3 year old brother has no trouble wearing his. Adults are such whiners.
Lord Fartdaddy (Formerly, Mumphrey, Smedley Darlington Mingobat, et al.)
Children have been so good at this. Right from the beginning, our daughters haven’t bitched or whined about it once, even though they have to wear their masks the whole fucking day at school. Neither have their friends. An awful lot of kids are a hell of a lot more grown up than 40% of the grownups in this country.

When I’m out and about these days, the only children I see without masks are with smug looking parents who are not wearing one.

I’m really hoping the state of West Virginia mexican food has improved a LOT in the 30 years since I last ate out there, because I actually grimaced when I read that. But having an Aldi’s is a good sign that things have improved a lot.

I can’t get my students to take their masks off! Even outdoors, far apart, playing tennis. I tell them they can take them off and they just shrug because it is NO BIG DEAL!!!
Chetan Murthy
@UncleEbeneezer: No coach I, but I wonder if wearing a mask while trainiing for a sport might strengthen the diaphragm and chest muscles, so then later, when actually competing without a mask, the athlete would perform better.
Just idle speculation ….

My two older Spawns are great about masking, Youngest, though, is two, and she has a limit to her tolerance. Just another reason we really need vax for the littles.

@luc: No Aldi’s or Trader Joe’s in SE Seattle, majority minority SE. There’s been a crazy building boom in the rest of the city but only in the whitest part of SE Seattle. There’s plenty of money here but less than some areas but developers just don’t want to invest here and the city seems reluctant to do much to help. There are plenty of vacant lots including next to light rail stations.

@Chetan Murthy: When some of my relatives here in Memphis, about 330 feet above sea level, were training to hike Kilimanjaro they wore masks for conditioning. My two cousins made it to the top, my uncle didn’t but he forgot some medication so he didn’t feel safe. He did get to around 15,000 feet

I live in a land of no masking and low vaxx rates. it’s rough in this county. I wear one all the time in public again, and feel quite outnumbered. But while at the butchers I actually got thanked for wearing one. (doctor from the hospital down the street. we were the only ones masked in the store. sigh)
We are required to mask at work if you get up from your desk, are supposed to mask if anyone requests you wear one, etc. But I’m still really happy I’m back to working 3 days a week from home and no longer sharing workspace with someone refusing to get vaccinated because they’ve been suckered by the “wellness industry” in this country into thinking anything created by science might disrupt the delicate whatevers in their system and make them sick because “we just don’t know what effects this might have”.

So it’s a profitable hobby. I don’t have the patience, or organizing skills for those little slips of expiring paper

Not WV but not far away, I lived in OH for 11 yrs and we had a Mexican restaurant that was almost as good as Panchitos in San Gabriel, which when you walked out the door you were looking at the San Gabriel Mission about a block away. Now that was a gourmet restaurant if there ever was one. This place in Columbus, OH wasn’t near as fancy but the food was very good. If OH can do it so can WV.

@Jackie: the UK had that. Had to put a pound coin in to get a cart. Once you were done, return the cart and get your coin back. I think that helped explain why all the carts were returned to the cart area instead of left all about the parking lot.

I used to shop there but lately it’s just for glasses, tv’s (that die 3 months after warranty), and clothes/ shoes (which I have a lifetime supply of). I’d love to have a Tader Joe’s because of the produce, the frozen stuff for tasty quick lunches, and the wine + booze. The closest one is in West Seattle which has become a 30 minute drive since the bridge nearly collapsed. TJ’s has the right size packages for a two person household. And the checkout lines are quick.

@Leto: We’ve got a European import shop with a huge cheese case, a Filipino market that Anthony Bourdain visited, a neighborhood Japanese grocery, a couple middle eastern shops, and much more.

@trollhattan: We’ve been requiring students in the dorms to get tested twice a week.

I’m addicted to Walmart delivery. Can buy anything in the store at local store prices and free delivery within 12 hours. If out or stock then from anywhere in two or three days. Complete online menu of products. Aldi’s is pulling out of Central Florida, I read in the local rag. Nearest Costco is 40 miles, TJs in Tampa, 40 miles or Orlando, 40 miles. Lakeland sucks, but there are three Walmart super centers within 10 miles, all have delivery.

Because the adults are invested in a culture that is changing – to one the kids are already comfortable with, and the adults are scared. Nothing new.
It’s called a generation gap and we were the problem because we liked rock and roll and wanted to go shopping on Sunday, or some shit. Remember, the ‘radical social experimentation’ was primarily defined as us wanting to treat black people in marginally less horrible ways than they wanted to treat them. Nothing new here. The driver of that radical social experimentation then was TV where sheltered young white kids could be exposed to the horrors of how we actually treated them. Remember, it wasn’t the shitty treatment of black people that got the civil rights act passed – it was the broadcast of that treatment on TV.
The optics forced the change, not the actions, and TV was critical to that change. Not trying to go hard on LBJ here – he got it done – but without TV god knows how much longer it would have taken. I grew up with Sesame Street with people of different races living in an urban neighborhood together, and Morgan Freeman singing on Electric Company.
The internet plays a similar role. Network TV is afraid to put gay characters on air, but anyone could on Youtube or Instagram or TikTok. Trans rights didn’t come out of TV, it came out of the internet. All of this social change is coming out of the internet. Not the part we inhabit, but the parts our kids grew up in, just as the part I grew up in was wildly different from the part of TV my parents and grandparents interacted with.

The first time I tried it, they were just beginning and had a 4 hour delay. :( So I went to delivery. It’s worked out well. I tip the driver $7.00, they bring the groceries into my home and all I have to do is put them away. :)

@Tony Gerace: I ran into one of them today and it took me a long time to cool off after the encounter.
Went to see if I could get a haircut, the wait was too long, but I found out that my hair-cutter will be in at 9am tomorrow and I can sign up online in the morning. I sat in the waiting area, waiting for my DH who had gone shopping nearby, and the old guy* across from me was wearing his mask on his chin. There’s a sign that says you can’t be inside without wearing it covering your mouth AND your nose, so I politely asked him to do so and he complied.
Everything was friendly, and then he said, “Well, I’m six feet away so that’s ok.” I nodded and said, “And I’m vaccinated and had my booster, so that’s good.” And it all went to hell at that point.
He sneered, “Good luck with that.”
“What? You think I’m going to die because I got vaccinated for Covid???”
“It’s experimental.”
“No, it’s not. Hundreds of millions of Americans are fully vaccinated.”
“Well, we just can’t talk about that.” He was clearly afraid we might fight at this point.
I stood up and glared at him, “You’re a fool. You don’t wear your mask indoors around other people AND YOU’RE NOT VACCINATED!” Note, I was not shouting, just being emphatic. The rest of the salon was unaware of our conversation.
He mumbled something about not being able to breathe with the mask, and I lost it. “You’re an idiot.”
I went outside to wait for my ride even though it was 36F because this jerk was endangering everyone in the place, including the old lady he was with who was wearing her mask properly.
*I’m 71, this guy was probably younger than I am but around here most of the RW idiots in their early 60s look like they’re in their late 80s, which startled me when we moved here. This is a very blue part of WA.

@Chetan Murthy: not noticeably with the normal masks of everyday use, but there has long been a market for masks that restrict breathing during exercise to try to simulate higher altitudes. But the best way is to still just live year around at the altitude unless you are willing to wear the Special mask all the time I think is the general consensus on the effectiveness of that training.
Chetan Murthy
@opiejeanne: I’m sorry you had to experience that, and am proud of you that you did your part to make him experience social opprobrium. And I’m glad you were in a blue part of WA — there are places where what you did would have been dangerous, and I’m glad you weren’t in one of those places.

@Chetan Murthy: On a recent trip east of the Cascades I knew to keep my mouth shut. I got glared at FOR wearing a mask at two places, but with the mask they couldn’t really read my expression. I just stared at them and they didn’t hassle me, but it made for a couple of unpleasant moments
The old woman that might have been his wife never looked up. She could have been his mother or his wife, they both looked so old it was difficult to tell.
One thing, when he said we shouldn’t talk about it, I figured that his kids have been at him to get the vaccine.

@Chetan Murthy: I have become impatient with people not wearing the mask over their noses and have taken to walking past them while saying “It goes over your nose.” Usually they look a little sheepish and pull it up over their nose, if I bother to look back at them. One old guy’s wife laughed and made him do it.
Chetan Murthy
@opiejeanne: To be strangers in our own land, the foreign element, for doing the decent thing, for doing our civic duty, it’s unnerving and has started to make me feel that this isn’t my home, that it was never my home. All the things that I learned, that I was taught, about how we are supposed to behave, are all overturned and I feel that somehow I never actually knew what it was to be an American.
Chetan Murthy
@opiejeanne: I gently chided a guy on the subway who didn’t have his mask on (his female companion — gf? — did). just said “sir”, and pointed at my own mask. He pulled his up and kept it on.

The thing with the kids is, they haven’t been watching Fox News or Newsmax, they haven’t been listening to right-wing politicians or talk radio, so they haven’t been given years of daily doses of permission and encouragement to be resentful and pissed off about every little thing. So they’re OK. But we’ve got a bumper crop of adults who’ve been ‘brought up’ all wrong.

Reading this site is wild sometimes.
COVID is here and it’s not going away. The eagerness some of you have to pick a fight with others over masks or become so emotional you have to essentially put yourselves in timeout is just amazing to read.
COVID isn’t going away and if you think Democrats becoming the party of Masks Now, Masks Forever is a winning ticket, woooo boy are we in for some tough times ahead as a party.
I’m 38, I’m vaccinated and have had my booster. Just do the right thing yourself and stop fighting people. The idea that the majority of American voters are going to be ok with masks forever is a losing idea. You need to come to terms with that and that COVID is here to stay.

@Will: That’s a good example of the falacy of the excluded middle. Masks are needed when people congregate where community spread is high. The quicker that community spread is crushed, the better. It’s not political, it’s sensible public health.
The virus doesn’t care about politics.

I grant you permission to fuck all the way off.
Bugboy
Yeah, the kids get it. But that’s precisely why we shouldn’t have to explain this stuff to the adults. Besides, I think we are way passed having any kind of “teaching moment” with the masses. They wish to proudly bask in their ignorance, because the RWNJ Wurlitzer told them to do so.
I work in a reasonably technical field (mosquito control) and had a salesman stop by my office the other day, after previously informing me he got vaccinated “just because of work”, which is pretty GD stupid on its face to begin with. He says “My wife got COVID-19 EVEN AFTER WE WERE VACCINATED!11!!!!!11!!1 SEE?! IT DOESN’T WORK!!11!1”
I gently explained to him that’s not how vaccines work, that’s not how vaccines have EVER worked. Vaccines don’t keep you from getting infected, they keep you from getting sick and dying. They also keep you from spreading it to others if you do get it.
Then I thought to myself “this guy is selling me product to use in efforts to combat mosquito borne disease, and he is ignorant of the mechanics of vaccines”? Yes he is, because he wants to be…

Hardly anyone is wearing a mask anymore where I live in greater Minnesota, iow the boonies. MN is having more covid cases since a year ago. When more people were masked even if grudgingly, there were always those who acted like they didn’t know their noses need to be covered. I remember trying to stay far away from one guy with his nose uncovered in a supermarket. I was so tempted to ask him if he wore his underpants like that but considering how unhinged ragey some are, I didn’t want a possible altercation.
