My neighborhoods may be less dense — so while I always have a mask with me, ready to pull up, I only do so when I’m going to pass within about ten feet or so of someone else. During the summer in PA the streets around me are deserted (they’re not dense most
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…

The rule is if you’re outside your home wear a mask. Anyhow the dog walkers don’t usually even have one around their necks. The few that have them don’t generally bother to pull them up - guess I don’t rate. I walk around in a state of rage at the stupidly of Americans most of the time. Also end up walking down the middle of the street to avoid people.?

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!

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 ?

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!

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.?

Well,? We still have big pockets of unmasked people, and I hesitate to write this, but here goes.? Because we live in a coastal area, we are besieged with flotillas, called Trumptillas.? Great hoards of decorated yachts, but horns blaring, packed with unmasked people. Each boat is loaded with people. They're having a great time and that's fine, but they often are dangerously close to one another and don't seem to pay much attention to where they are in relation to us in our little boat. Sometimes it's really hard to avoid them, especially if we are headed back to the marina and they're parading in the vicinity. It's a huge party with the attendant libations involved so sometimes people aren't paying attention.? It can be dicey at times.?
I'd have a problem with this no matter who is being celebrated b/c there is a certain exuberant aggression when you have such a tight pack, motoring as one, big blob of yachts.? The fact that they're all packed on these boats unmasked brings another level of frustration.? After they are heading to grocery, hardware stores and all the places I've got to frequent.
