I want to get back out there on the road again too. My wife and I have put off out trip to Tuktoyaktuk for the second time this summer. We had to cancel a 35 day cruise to the South Pacific last March, 7 days before the boat sailed, and we all know what happened on this cruise ships. We haven’t hugged our grandkids or our kids for over a year.
We miss our Neighbours coming over to our yard for a beer and a fire.
We miss our visits with my cousin and his wife who both got COVID which they got as emergency room nurses in Phoenix
We miss a lot like everybody does.
As for face masks:
Where I worked, I had to wear a 1/2 face respiratory on my face, with safety and or reading safety glasses for 11 hrs of my 12 hr shift. The only time we could take them off was during our two 1/2 hr lunch breaks, or anytime we went into a clean air / cool down station to get a drink of water, cool down, check instruments etc. I worked there for 39 years, so theses medical surgical masks we are to wear are nothing.
Wearing the masks are not only helping you, they are also helping the population at large.
Let’s all stay safe and happy out there everyone
