You never answered my questions sprung and rusty. Also what town are you in?? I am not that far away,and I can make time to meet you and discuss my short comings with you.

I'm a smoker as well, but I agree with Steven for once, lol. I believe I have a right to smoke. Down here, we still have the right to smoke inside businesses too, although many have chose to ban it on their own, which is their right. I also have a right to not be forced to wear a mask. Businesses can choose to disallow customers without them, but it should not be mandated by the government. Obviously most businesses don't want the mandate as hardly any of them are enforcing it. If you don't want to be around my smoke, or my non-masked breath, just stay clear of me.

Well here is my take on this mask b.s. before we were required to wear mask in wa my county was averaging under thirty cases a day we’ve doubled that in 3 weeks to about a hundred a day,seems all states that are requiring mask covid is going thru the roof.Watch people constantly touch there nose and mouth adjusting mask and trying to breath in this 108 degree weather.Might as well push you grocery cart around and lick your fingers.

Ever's needs to go. We need a repeal. He is not a dictator. I don't believe there is any way in hadies this can be enforced. I will not wear a mask. I'm sure it's unconstitutional. Let freedom ring!

Tom not mask related, just curious. Is it just easier for you to go to Hudson rather than Stillwater or Woodbury? I don't like to go to any of them. Cheaper? Better stores? My mom lives in Hudson and always wants to go to Woodbury.

you would have to be fined or held and charged with violating this order.

it has no real teeth , you can say you have a medical condition but you do not need to carry any evidence of it nor provide it.

if you are eating or drinking you do not need to wear the face covering

you will not have to wear it well or right

basically you would in my opinion have to find a Karen of a Cop with a Karen of a Chief or Sheriff and a Karen of a DA that want to charge someone or issue the fine to someone for a mask violation.

maybe that will happen , maybe the police are getting very good at watching vandalism and their own cars burned. will they go all Karen on the masks? or have a blind eye?

then it can be challenged in court otherwise the state legislature can kill it.

I am willing to play this game for 8 weeks I hope it works , doubt it will. am fairly sure this is just kicking covid down the callendar to get us past laborday and the rest of the tourist season then we will be on lock down of they will attempt lock down/safer at home 2.0 .

I didn't know until a day or two ago that Pa. has a mask mandate, for a month now. lol

You wouldn't know it by looking at people, they're only worn in a couple stores that still require it.

Doubt you'll see any change.

Hudson is 3 miles away.Stillwater 8 miles and woodbury is 13 miles away.All 3 have an aldis and wal mart.
Hudson is just quicker and easier for me,also less people.

When the governor mandated masks in our counties around here, everyone wore masks for about 2 days, then some didn't, and now it's back to normal with only the people wanting to wear them wearing them.

I don't pay attention to my post count. Was a WTA member till it expired. Planning to renew. Do you want my address as well as the town? No need to discuss anything. You've shown your cards already.

Yep! Mud ducks and fibs come across the border and right away want to change us.

Well if you go another twenty minutes you could stop at the Lockness and toss one back.

Just curious...How does Tom's post indicate he wants to change us? It was the Governor's edict that made the change, like him or not.

Just had to add that if you knew anything about Tom you would welcome him in Wisconsin.

Well said 49er. Even the risk of from dying of Covid in many cases is about life choices.

CWtrapper,come and watch the exodus every morning on 94.All the cars are from Wisconsin,coming into MN. to work .
Wife needs eye surgery so we are headed to River Falls to see the eye specialist.We are to phone the doctors office when we get there.They will then take us into the examination room ,once everyone else is gone.
Wifes radiation treatments were in New Richmond. So we do support Wisconsin in may ways.
You can also see why I am a mask wearer.

Prayers for your wife Bogmaster ............

Prayers sent for your wife..... We may disagree on politics and that's ok. Doesn't mean I'm a jerk.

The progressive feelings ideology does not like factual presentations.
It deeply offends their feelings. Too many now claim to be the holders of truth, but they know very little at a deep level. We're just a nation of Googlizers.
Language is being redefined.
Example: Woke folks now claim the "F" word is no longer a curse word. It's just an adjective.

Climate, Covid, Cannibus, and more "C" words should end with the word = Control

If C-19 was ever a pandemic, it was hijacked by bigger fish, a while ago.

your wrong, they do not like facts if they disagree with their ideology, if they agree then they are OK.
It's all about eliminating any dissenting views, agree or be punished.
