their house, their rules.
my money, my rules.

Had this very discussion with my auto mechanic this morning, actually his wife as she runs the office. Despite Katy Brown's orders that everyone in Oregon where a mask, the mechanic's shop is ignoring it "because we do not want to drive customers away."

On the other hand, after making three unsuccessful stops to find a strap for the winch on my boat trailer, which I broke last night and repaired with a knot, I bowed to the queen of Oregon, wrapped a handkerchief around my mouth and walked past the Mask Nazis at Walmart.

And yes, Walmart had the two inch Atwood winch strap.

Sometimes you have alternatives. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
