My best friend became increasingly exercised while we calmly discussed the validity of masks today. The exasperation as he asked, "Why not just wear the masK?!" led to him admitting that, although I never antagonize him with politics, he doesn't want to call me. He can tell that I am "upset that the world hates you for your political views." Wouldn't most people be upset by this?

Holding the line is getting harder every day, but I am here now.
