As you know, we are still on vacation. Yes, in Florida. We're stayinf at a resort owned by a big hospitality company that takes the CDC recomendation very seriously. They have a mask mandate. We, of course follow it.

Having said that, unlike years past, we are not doing our usual going out and toddling around town. The bars and restaurants are less filled than over the holiday weekend. This is Fort Lauderdale, so I don't expect the kind of f*ckery that is occurring inland. We are still not taking chances. It sucks that we still have to be careful. When we see others wearing masks -- there is almost a secret look that is given; It's almost ' Thank you' and 'I can't believe we still have to do this shit'. Still there are masked people.

One thing I can say, it feels good to be away, and to be able to enjoy something outside of my circle. It's still a risk, but I am so glad to be able to did my toes in the ocean again.
