I know someone on Ravelry who insists that all face masks make her claustrophobic so she doesn’t wear one.? She lives in Utah and is a biologist so she should know better, but I have managed to refrain from suggesting something like a face shield to at least give a tiny bit of protection to others. ? I also refrained from saying something to someone I know who was wearing a bandanna mask (which apparently are second from the bottom in effectiveness) today because I know her well enough to know I wasn’t going to win the argument. ? Speaking of masks and effectiveness, does anyone have good data lately about 2 layers vs 3 for cloth masks?? I’m not going to use something like Filti that I know several of you have used because I need to make sure whatever it is can tolerate frequent laundering, but I could go back to adding a layer of nonwoven interfacing as I originally had been before I read a scientific publication that said that two layers of quilting cotton were good. ?

Ok what’s worse - an unmasked mom, or her unmasked child napping in her trunk? Just walked at the beach - we don’t go on the weekends but at 6 when it’s 70 degrees out it’s really easy to social distance. That was the sight that greeted me pulling in to the lot.?

Yup. I see one set of porchsitters regularly- at 30’. Otherwise encounters are rare and distanced. As a result, I stopped wearing the mask round my neck on dog walks.
In contrast, we (A, M and I) all schlepp masks on backpacking trips to wear in the parking lot and 1-2 miles near the trailhead... Regardless of how soggy nights - and downpours - in the Smokies make them!

The rule here is masks outside if you can’t socially distance.? I typically walk my dogs on the grassy shoulder along the outer edge of the state park across from my house on a 45 mph road.? I carry a mask but don’t usually put it on unless I see someone headed my way, which I can see from a long way off.? ? My dog training club has explicitly made it a rule that masks must be worn at all times, including in the parking lot, just so there’s no question.? We have a lot of other rules too, not just that one. ? Interestingly, the litter of puppies Arielle and I were visiting yesterday don’t seem to really notice the masks.? The adult dogs who live at the house, other than the mother of the puppies, definitely did.? All of them spent a lot of time sniffing the edges of the masks, the front of the masks, and our ears, copiously.? I don’t think any of the adult dogs had interacted with the families who are getting puppies.? We were socializing puppies and playing with dogs (at separate times), so we did.? ? Melisande ?

Walking in the neighborhood these days rather than on the trail (D&L) because the trail seems to be super crowded all the time and there's virtually no one walking near our house. I carried a mask a couple times, but usually, I don't bother. The few places I go where there are other people (grocery, farm stand, bird store) I wear a mask and give the stink eye to anyone wearing theirs below their nose!

of the time anyway) and in Maine even now there’s a lot of room. Kids on the porch of the ice cream shop? Now that’s a different story…
