KGer, 😂😂 We live in Texas and actually…saw a guy on horseback, by himself on a country road, in the middle of windswept prairie…wearing a mask. My husband took a picture of him. 😂😂

We saw a face diaper masked motorcyclist, no helmet, in this countryside, six houses to a country section 1mi x 1mi, best use I've seen. 😆

That is incredible that he is so afraid of the kraken, but simultaneously taunts the reaper with his unprotected head. Perhaps there’s nothing to protect in that head. 😆

The reaper is sat back relaxing.

Sipping a glass of "Death in the afternoon".

Happy in the knowledge that biker boi is fully vaxxed and boosted and on his way.

Ha! Last summer I saw the same. A woman passenger on a motorcycle. Wearing a mask but no helmet. You just can’t make this sh*# up.

It doesn’t even make sense.

Makes one wonder how they can even go out of the house if they are that afraid. At this point, it is a mental illness.

I try to give the benefit of the doubt on most of these situations. Maybe the guy has allergies? I live in Texas and allergies are bad right now. I know my husband and my daughters allergies have definitely kicked up. My husband has worn a mask when doing yard work for years, way before covid. He also wears a mask when he's sawing a lot of wood.

Just a suggestion. Try to find local honey and use it as much as possible. It really helps!!!! Not overnight but def by next allergy season.

We do! I buy a local honey and put it my coffee every morning. I also use it in homemade dressings, sauces, & marinades. It's also great drizzled over almond butter on a slice of toasted whole grain toast and over whole fat plain yogurt. I also use it in my homemade face masks! Lol!

There are those that swear by that tip of "Being Local" as it would seem the best if it works at all. Now we just gotta tell that cowboy ridin that horse. I have "0" allergies, so lucky me.

But I do work construction, and "GOT SMART" about mask wearing decades ago. Thanks 3M!

If this fellow can tolerate the rigors of even hitchin up the tack on a horse in a barn filled with

you know....barn dust, so he can ride the winds of Texas time for hours and not pay the sinus fee for days after, he has avoided the "Unavoidably unsafe".... as far as his sinus goes. No sneezing today. Yeah!

I, too, wear n95 masks outside when we have major summer wildfire smoke in the CA Sierra and also when I clean up areas with dry rodent feces. Like woodpiles and sheds. Have always practiced this precaution. I only hope people don’t now think I’m a covid Karen!

Work smarter...not harder! The N95 has been available to retail consumers long before the

Scamdemic Bio-bug deploy. That port variety more than 20 yrs or more.

Being on a windswept "dusty" prairie while doing what he loves best to do,

as in saddle riding the ranch finest horse he could ever have, while being that cowboy, who suffers from pollen/ragweed/ tumbleweed/ or hay allergies sucks.

But given the fact he has stockpiled all them free masks is not a bad way to live.

Yep, it’s tough country for allergies. Too bad those face diapers don’t protect against allergens any more than they do against covid. I wish they did, it would save me some bad headaches!

Sorry that you suffer from poor air quality remnants. Sinus headache is debilitating to many.

I'm sure there is a mask at home depot etc, that filters it. but not saying its comfortable nor inexpensive. 3M makes all such face filters for whatever air quality. Just sayin a hanky ain't it.

Maybe he had actual hay fever 😊

Freebird's avatar

I doubt it. This was at the peak of Covid panic, December 2020, not hay fever season, but when mask wearing was highly promoted and even demanded, Covid fear porn at it's height. WEAR YOUR MASK!

We all WISH they worked, but the fact is, they don’t.

Now in his defense, it was probably allergy season in Texas (which is 10 months of the year) and his mask was soaked in Cedar-X. Just sayin'... 😂

Linda, I’ll admit that allergies are bad here. But this happened in December 2020, at the height of Covid fear porn, he was wearing the little blue, ill-fitting worthless rag. I’m calling it like I see it -

a sheep riding a horse! 😂
