Same net result, but considering I had all but the 4th letter on the 2nd guess, getting 5/6 was pretty irritating. Total guess because I had never heard/read that word before.

Given that the newer covid strains produce mild illness (essentially a cold) and that mrs datlas and I are both vaxxed and boosted with the new bivalent booster, I think it's reasonable to relax our current policy of pretty much universal masking except when with our daughters (who are immune since they had covid in May). I still think it may be reasonable to mask in a very congested public location like public transport or a crowded theater, but day-to-day socializing etc. I think it's probably time to consider unmasking as the default setting rather than masked.
Mrs datlas is not ready, so that's a challenge. We went out for dinner last night and ate outside, which was fine, but as temps get cooler a change may be reasonable.

I am hoping we will eventually be at a point where it will be "over the top/overly cautious" to wear a mask. We are not there yet, and maybe we will never be there again, but hope springs eternal.

The issue, as I see it, is that over the past year or so it's become "reasonable" to wear a mask and it's "reasonable" to not wear one.
I am hoping we will eventually be at a point where it will be "over the top/overly cautious" to wear a mask. We are not there yet, and maybe we will never be there again, but hope springs eternal.

You may be correct. I am trying to get mrs datlas to relax her policy, which I honestly think is ok to do since we have the new bivalent booster etc., but she is not "ready" yet. I am not the most social animal anyway, so it's not a huge deal, but I am hoping she gets used to the idea of eating indoors in a restaurant before the cold weather sets in.

I'm really anxious to see how it plays out here. The governor dropped the mask mandate, in open spaces, 3? months ago. There has been no change on the street. There are still folks on motorcycles miles from nowhere, fully masked. And people walking down empty roads, fully masked.

Most people are no longer masking here, but still, maybe 40% do. I've largely stopped, except places where they require it, like the dentist the other day, or places where it seems appropriate, like the drug store.

Hopefully it works as advertised since we are hosting a super-spreader event with 200+ people in early November. I don't want to get it, mild or otherwise.

We're going to get the latest vaccine as well, but I'm waiting until after my October 3 trial since I don't have time to be down before then.

Woke up at around 3 to the familiar pain of a kidney stone. Finally drove myself to a hospital. Arrived around 7:05. I didn’t get any treatment until after 11.
It’s small enough that it should pass on its own.
My money is on dehydration Friday and Saturday. It was warm and humid, and riding conditions in many places made it tough to drink without stopping.

Wife surprised me with this today. Torch 2.0 and the varia with a camera. she’s been wanting me to have a camera for a while now.
First look, the varia doesn’t fit my current madone varia mount, and the mount that comes with it doesn’t fit the madone either.

I have a pair of Torch 3s, and really like them. Same last. Hope you enjoy them.
