yeah I know you did not ask!
Faust Park is a county park about 3 miles from the house. They have the trails at that park open, all of them one way to help with social distancing. None of the playgrounds, bathrooms, carousel,etc are open.
This evening, myself and the whimsical Señora Weinhaus decided to take the wee dog for a walk around the park and through some of the wooded paths. Actually, quite pleasant and for the most part folks were adhering to the guidelines. You are always going to have a few iconoclasts.
Coming out of the woods there were a group of people sitting more or less at the recommended 2 meters of separation. It was obvious they were having some sort of birthday party from the signage. As we got closer I could see it was for an older lady who they had seated in a throne like chair with a chintzy crown on her head. Not that there is an ounce of danger in that direction, but if my kids ever did such a thing…
Anyway back to the story. Our birthday queen had on a mask. As we passed I overheard them talking about masks, probably because they wanted to take the queen’s picture. That is when I heard one gentleman remark, “I have a mask too, but I am saving it for when I drywall.” How utterly tone deaf can you be? He must be the uncle everyone talks about that disrupts the Thanksgiving dinner with his crackpot political views.
