I got that vibe, but then again, people are always trying to bang me.

you didn’t mention your Hawaii traveling companion was 85

i’m surprised he went to hawaii at all, what with all the hippies and pot heads there

I coexist well with people from all walks of life. It was a good experience.

Sorry you feel that way.

did i misinterpret some of your posts as having a disdain for those who smoke weed?

Is there another reason to go?

Disdain for those who smoke weed AND refuse to work for a living, yes. Also those who do not smoke weed but refuse to work for a living. Last I checked, those folks aren’t confined to a particular geographic region.

Should we know who JKLivin is?
He/she sounds familiar.

Get busy Livin or get busy dying,
JK.

WTF is wrong with people?
I'm NOT JK.

my mistake then...it seemed you were only disparaging the weed smokers

I am going to disparage folks who disparage others who they believe don't work for a living because it is short-hand for acceptable racism or classism. The working poor is a thing. And the continuous movement of the Social Security goal posts are not great for retirement. Too many Americans work themselves to death leaving the next generation struggling the same way. With many food and service industry folks refusing to be grifted, maybe we can have a sensible conversation about fair pay in an automated world where corporations and the wealthy contribute less and less in taxes, but more and more to politics.

Just went to the store maskless for the first time in over a year!

Not bad.

Kinda miss the mask though.

Caught myself mocking other customers in the store, got a dirty look, and realized I don’t have the mask to give cover any more.

But for real though, how long do y’all gotta stand there and deliberate over which flavor of Pringles to get?!

Yup.
In high def too.

Mask were-ers are about 10% of the population here. Maybe less.

Noticed this morning that about 90% of the shoppers at the downtown farmer's market were wearing masks. No new cases in over a week here in Lawrence.
