Mmmm, all through Covid-19 when I would refuse to wear a mask post the end of April, 2020, I had a bunch of people approach me and criticize my naked face.
On one occasion, it was just before Christmas 2020. MrsMac and I were in a Talbots buying a few presents for my mom. I was at the register just getting ready to affix my John Hancock to the bill when a masked man approached me and started to lambaste me on our mask-less state of undress.
I let him go on and on. When we started to turn from the counter and leave, there was a moment of silence from the man as I think he was out of breath, I asked him, "what are you so afraid of"? His response was, "well dying." I then asked him, "what have you done in this life that you are so afraid to stand in front of our creator and answer for?"
Before he could answer, I continued, "We are not afraid of judgement day. We will run to the good Lord and embrace him with glee being in heaven, Covid or no covid."
As we then continued to the door to exit, I noticed in the refection of the front door glass the gentleman just standing there and the sales ladies behind the counter with their hands over their masked up faces trying not to emit the sound of laughter.
When back in the car, MrsMac turned to me and said with a chuckle in her voice "John, one of these days you are going to get yourself killed. Me too probably. But, I totally agree with your comments. The guy was an ass".
As a side note, my wife was a different lady after that encounter. In the past, where if she was not with me she would wear her stupid face diaper to get along. Nope, not after that day. When by herself, she would not wear a mask. You know what, nobody ever challenged her. LOL, They would challenge me though. What was that about?
