I saw a man on campus Monday hadn't been out of his apartment since March 26th. We are killing people slowly and surely. He looked terrible. Simply terrible. Like a holocaust survivor.


Not trying to be mean, but I couldnt help but laugh when I read that Mark. What in the world makes people so afraid!!? How can they live with fear like that? Ive done a lot of living since March 26th! Even had the rona and survived. I make my living in the bush where there are all kinds of things that can kill you. I cant imagine living in fear like that.


My x brother in law is one of these people. For the first three months the only time he left his house was to take my niece to her mothers house. Before my niece was allowed in her house she had to shower and disinfect the entire house. He ordered all his groceries on line and would douse them in Lysol before taking them in the house. My wife and I wonder what kind of anxiety our niece and kids like her will have the rest of there lives because of this and the way some people treat it. My family chooses not live in fear, our lives our in the lords hands. We go about our normal lives same as we would if there was no Covid

I often wear a facemask while trapping especially when its very cold say minus 30 or colder.-also a full face helmet when brush busting on the snowmachine.-No big deal.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The mental fight is real for many. The man I mentioned is a believer and is probably 75? He graduated from DTS years ago and came to use the library almost every day pre-covid. I think he might be a widower. I don't know his story, but he's got his doctorate degree, so he's educated, and as he and I chatted Monday in the small coffee house on campus (which hardly has any people these days) he was visibly shaking at the thought of germs on a coffee cup.

I just watched a nice old fart struggle in his head about the God he loves and has loved for years I suspect, and the power of his head warning him about a "bug." I just listened to a brother in the faith and encouraged him with prayer in that moment.

Next day, he was at the library, clothes pressed and looker 100% better. He told me he's DONE listening to Satan. Time to get back to being out amongst those who nourish him.

There will be many battle scars from all this and even if you don't happen to be effected, we are the body of Christ and we are our brother's keepers.

Blessings,
Mark

Now that’s just ridiculous. I can see wearing one in congested areas, grocery stores and such, but I will not wear one outdoors. They can just fine me.

Like the officer said in the movie "Bridge over the River Kwai; "You and your men will work!"

heir dictators can't fathom the idea of a place where the nearest person isn't even in rifle range

MASS NON COMPLIANCE

is going to be the Theme for a while.

as my son said when reading the exceptions to Wisconsin Mask law , Please consider all that I do Interpretive dance my life is performance , dance is my art , my character is Trapper.


we both wear masks in stores as need but outdoors far from people is just stupid

thinking no can it really be that stupid ? the outdoor mask mandate is if you can not maintain greater than 6 feet from people outside your household while outside of your home.

Biden is listening to his transition team which includes NM's crazy governor. Last week she said we need to wear masks even when inside our homes laugh.

Seriously, look up governor MLG she's terrible for NM and this country. She's been trying to get our guns our hunting trapping. She's bringing in out of state people and Mexicans for covid hospitalizations but yet complains our hospitals are overwhelmed. There's been numerous petitions to remove her from office. Petitions with more than enough signatures so the secretary of state should open a case for removal but the secretary of state here won't even look at them or address them.

I'm praying POTUS results are overturned.

I'm waiting to start hearing about class action lawsuits from families of those who have committed suicide due to the covid lockdowns. I hope it happens and they win.

He can demand all he wants. Nobody (at least around here) will enforce it.

Even most businesses gave up on enforcing it. I walked into Sams club yesterday and got halfway through the store before I realized I didn't have it on. And I wasn't the only one.

I've been in other businesses here who've said wear the mask if if you want but we aren't

Right or wrong, people have had enough of the mask deal.

Yes sometimes when its cold out i pull up my balaclava face shield to keep from frostbite. I honestly cant see the merit of mandating face shields for those of us by ourselves out in middle of a field checking traps, that would be ludicrous. Its just me and the coyote and my face mask won't save the coyote.
But then again I see folks driving their own vehicles windows up and wearing them and I shake my head...why and who or what are you protecting? In the crowded grocery store, yes, but off by yourself somewhere, why?

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

The more we give in, the more they will demand.

It’s all about control.

A mask is for use when the recommended 6 ft social distancing isn't possible or practical. When did any governing body say otherwise?

Ha that is the only time I will wear a mask. To keep my nose from dripping on my sets.

All most folks see or hear is "Mandatory". They never bother to read the laundry list of exceptions in all those executive orders. And many of those exceptions have to do with medical conditions that only health professionals can even ask about. The greeter at WalMart certainly is not qualified to make medical decisions on my behalf.

They put up the signs because they have to but they can not enforce anything!
