Let’s take a break from posts about love and relationships, shall we?
Speaking of group hikes, I did a nice 8K trek with Scott and Troy on Friday.
At the conclusion of the hike, we did lunch at Sit-n-Bull then moseyed over to Cheap Charlies for some additional liquid refreshment. As I said, that was an exception to the early in the day drinking rule.
Came home and took a nap, did a blog post, and then went back into town. Hey, I had a good excuse–I needed to find mama and give her her daily dinner money. It was raining when I found her camped out in front of the Chill Inn, a hotel that hasn’t reopened since the pandemic hit. And since the Chill Inn is practically next door to Cheap Charlies, well, what’s a beer drinker to do?
This morning I did a long hike on my own out to the old Navy base and back, right around 10K. I was feeling it by the time I got back home. I seem to be losing my walking stamina of late.
So, the latest outrage is that in addition to our face masks we are now required to wear a face shield on public transportation.
Now, I don’t ride Jeepneys or trikes all that much. But it just so happens the On-Home for Monday’s Hash is in Calapadayan. That’s too far and too dangerous to walk home from after drinking. Which means I’ve got to figure out how I’m going to carry this shield with me on the Hash. I really hate lugging my backpack on an already tough trail, but I may have no choice. Oh well.
That’s it for today, folks!
Those face shields are ridiculous. You look like a cafeteria worker. Has there been any official explanation as to why face shields are necessary, above and beyond masks?
“When life gives you lemons…” Maybe turn your face shield into a positive thing by starting up a food truck. Heh.
No real explanation, just flailing about trying to create the appearance of action. Never have I seen such a bunch of incompetents in charge–and I worked for Uncle Sam for 35 years.
All I can figure is someone high up is getting a kickback on the sales of face shields. Nothing else makes sense.
