Sometimes I leave the mask on outside, even though it's a little ridiculous, because I find it awkward when someone does show up and you both do the 'put on the mask dance.' I hate the mask dance. It makes me feel really uncomfortable. So, I just leave it on. Sometimes I just forget too. I accidentally terrorized a young couple at Joshua Tree last weekend, because I didn't have my mask on, I was out climbing and in my 'happy place,' and I completely forgot there was a pandemic and just wandered right by them and waved and said 'hi.' It wasn't until later that evening that I realized why they were looking at me with wide-eyes and edging away from me. So, I wish I had just left the thing on in that case.
