Hmm, wonder if I have been misinterpreting "cool, expressionless, not friendly" from a certain segment of the white male population as "must not be a friendly person" vs. "racist unwilling to talk to those he hates" 🤔

(just mention this realizing how often I see that behavior in Gadsen flag/2nd Amendment people around here to a friendly hello).

- got some blood drawn (nothing going on here, just had my annual physical and standard tests), and it seems like the blood testing lab is the one little bit of masking sanity around here. 100% masking in there, including both staff and all patients. (which makes a TON of sense, of course -- people in there probably sick or trying to figure out what's wrong with them, etc. etc.).

Realized (now that the coffee has kicked in) I have been walking around with a giant stain on my pants (spilled honey which has accumulated dog and bunny fur, and maybe a bunch of dirt from the hiking trail), LOL.

✅ Took the dog on his walk/hike despite having to fast for a routine medical blood draw, and having had no coffee. (ps. just the usual annual physical and whatever tests they run, LOL. I survived, as expected...)

(first world, privileged problems, yes.)

Hmm, just saw an article on Engadget citing "Business Wire reports" 🙄

(Business Wire is a wire news service, where companies pay to put out their press releases. It is not a news organization, and does not vet the press releases it sends out for companies).
