A friend stopped by my shop today and asked what I was up to. Oh, I was just about to stick a beach ball in my octopus and air it up. She laughed, and then I came out with a beach ball and an air hose.

Got one in my spider too.

Reptar likes to stand in the sun.

So I decided to go to the bar, because it's a small town and physical distancing is easy. Went to the brewery and had a couple beers. Met some friends. Kept our social distancing. Drove my ATV back to my shop....

A friend wanted to show her friends from out of town some of my art. They stopped by while I was welding. Showed them my art, and we talked about motorcycles....

I totally made sure to keep my distance. Can't pass a virus if you don't get close enough.

They were going to a bar for a few more drinks, so I wandered over to see what's up. Small town, so still easy enough to keep distance from people.

Since the pandemic started I've been in a bar once or twice. Every time I managed to keep my distance from everyone. Again, it's a small town. The bars are usually mostly empty.

So... this drunk woman is doing a terrible job of hitting on me. No idea who she is. Totally invading my personal space. I keep a chair between us. This is my usual tactic because I've been an introvert for 40 years.

JFC she commented on my beard and grabbed it. For fucking real. DON'T FUCKING GRAB A PERSONS BEARD. This shouldn't have to be said. Even without the pandemic. Why the fuck would you invade someone's personal space like that?

Aaaand a friend of mine just walked up and grabbed my beard as a *joke*. Jesus jumped up titty fucking christ. Do you morons just go around grabbing people's hair? Touching people's face? What the absolute fuck is wrong with you.

DON'T TOUCH THE HAIR THAT'S GROWING OUT OF MY FACE. I DON'T WANT WHATEVER SHIT THAT'S ON YOUR HANDS NEAR MY FACE.

I'll never go out to a public place ever again. For fuck sake.

Ok, but hear me out. Even if there wasn't a pandemic going on WHY WOULD YOU RUN YOUR FINGERS THROUGH A STRANGERS BEARD.
