Women seem to have a mask issue too. It's just so frustrating everything is politicized. I sometimes wonder how the US was so cohesive during WWII, but now can't even wear a mask to save lives. Something is so wrong with our media, government, and society.

My brother (a pipe fitter) was welding without safety glasses, and he was fine until he woke up the next day blind. Fortunately, he got his eyesight back after some medication and rest, but he is a great advocate for safety gear.

Haha. My friend has a constant ringing in her ear and we're convinced it's from always meeting "left of the stage, next to the speaker" when we went to events. I don't think we ever thought we'd get older.
