Superm...

Timing is everything, and I’m in firm agreement with the woman in Christopher Weyant’s cartoon, because the pollen right now is kicking my ass, and maybe putting the mask back on would be a good idea, even though I’ve had both my shots.   Our governor has canceled the mandate, a little prematurely I think, but since most of my interactions are outdoors, it hardly matters.
