It was the first truly warm sunny spring day in the Northern Virginia area, so I was thrilled to fire up the Triumph Bonneville for the 25-minute ride to work. There weren't many people out at 6:30 A.M., and I needed to focus on my riding skills, so I wasn't doing any sight-seeing. But by evening, with temperatures in the eighties and the sun still well up in the sky, there was time to take in the view of a beautiful spring afternoon with the population coming out of hiding.
A motorcycle, especially one with an upright sitting position,

By summer the only ones who will still be wearing masks will be the liberals who think the government cares about them. At least they will be easy to pick out.

I loathe masks and so far have worn one once to visit a doctor. Tomorrow I am going to Mass and according to the bishop, I have to wear a mask. I will, but only because I want to go to Mass very much and as soon as I leave church, it's coming off.

Saw a women pull into the parking lot at the market the other day wearing her face diaper while she was driving. In the market her mask was pulled down to her lips exposing her nose. She then paws through the green peppers looking for the perfect one.
1) this virus isn't aggressive to a point it can enter your vehicle, bypass a cabin filter and infect the occupants is it?
2) wearing your face diaper under your nose is like putting the baby's diaper around its knees.
3) touching eight or ten peppers to select one for yourself is contaminating the product bin for everybody else during this deadly global world ending old testament stuff pandemic thing.
So whats the point of lock downs and face masks with such an ignorant populace if any of this isn't truly effective or necessary anyway?
It's just theater for the sheeple to make them oblivious to the upcoming true crisis which is the economy.

We've been having some really nice, balmy nights here in S. Louisiana, when it isn't raining, and a ride in the 'Vette with the top down and 50's/60's Rock and Roll coming from the speakers while you cruise, is really great. Tonight looks like it might be another good night, and the wife and I won't have to see or hear a steady litany of Covid-19 on TV or on the news.

I saw a picture of a guy wearing a lacy women's thong as a face mask. It did as much good as me wearing a flimsy painter's mask. Actually, a painter's mask is better than those big ol' face diapers because it has a metal piece at the top that you can kind of pinch around your nose. My problem with the masks I've tried is it fogs up my glasses when I exhale. That's why people pull it down to expose their nose. I am in charge of a program at a local community college which went totally 'remote' in the middle of March. No in-person classes. But rather than do them from home, I continued to do my live video classes in my classroom in front of my whiteboard, just like a regular class. I could see who was in attendance at all times, and they could raise their hand, answer questions, etc. I was the only person on my floor in my building, except for the janitor woman (who has been there every day, even though there is no one in the building to clean up after). Yet I am required to wear a mask, call my dean before I enter the building and report why I am there, and call when leaving. We have had no deaths in our county, But we have the same restrictions as Houston and Dallas.Stupid, stupid stupid. I'm going to Walmart and get me womans' thong (new) for a mask.

"Riddle me this Batman", How come there is all this emphasis on masks and "Face Diapers" and their effectiveness, when a tight fitting pair of jeans over briefs can't contain flatulence aroma... Just sayin...

Ah, memories. I too was riding a Triumph Bonnevile around Northern Virginia but in the 70s, a far better era than today. There were two lanes each way on the Beltway and rush hour was experienced only during rush hour times. Current suburbs like Manassas and Centerville were surrounded by woods and fields. People were free and happy.
I hopped off my Kawasaki yesterday, took the helmet off and began a short walk down the sidewalk. A masked woman approached me and tried to melt into a brick building even though she was at least ten feet away from me. She was hugging the wall like a frightened butterfly. The free spirit of the 70s is officially gone and in its place are a bunch of little sheep.

Heard a guy says "I wear a mask for the safety of others!"
Hey, I carry a gun for the safety of others.

Northern Virginia? Maybe you should make a mask from the state flag of Virginia - the one that says Sic Semper Tyrannis.

I heard someone call them moron muzzles. Pretty fitting don't you think? I was way out in the desert a few days ago. No one around for miles, no houses or buildings to be seen. I was on a two-lane highway and there was an intersection with a dirt road I passed through and stopped there waiting to turn was a car with an old woman driving with a full face mask on wearing rubber gloves. I had to laugh! Okay lady better be careful, you might get infected.

In blueMA behind enemy lines I might still have to wear a face diaper (love that term!) if I have to get into a leper line (my friend's name for the COVID-1984 queues outside groceries) to buy milk.
So far I have been hopping over the line to NH to buy groceries and get takeout, ever since RINO Supreme Charlie "Parker"-Baker aka Tall Devall decreed masks for indoors.
But I do have mask ready for dire situations, and I also have a label maker with nice clear black print. So my mask says MA Needs To Open For Small Business.
If you get stuck wearing one, use it as a billboard!
