are following our own counsel. The hell with government mandates or lack thereof. Doing what we think is the best way to avoid the scourge. Season is about to start with thousands expected here soon. So it's more isolating, wearing masks everywhere and distancing. Another year of this at least.

Almost everyone I see in stores, etc. wear masks -- and, many places here in PBC make you wear a mask, and enforce it. The cannabis dispensary literally trespass folks who refuse. I've seen them do it. Same at my gym -- everyone always wears a mask.
