re: Am I the only one who didn’t realize we were “supposed” to wear masks outside?

Yeah - this was definitely a s.m.h. moment - I have never ever worn a mask outside (aside from a few times when I am going from one store to another)

I do respect a store that posts "masks required" on their door - I either go in or not, depending on how urgent is my need for what they are selling. But if I enter, I respect their demands as a property owners - just like the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" signs some of them post at their entrance.

I was in H.E.B just yesterday (close to Houston area). they do not have a sign for masks required so I didn't wear one. All of the HEB staff were wearing masks, as were over 90% of the patrons. I met a total of 3 family groups not wearing masks - we smiled and nodded to each other as we passed.

I was actually sort of hoping to be challenged by one of the maskers - but I was not - not even a stern look. All is well. Many are stupid.
