As of this past weekend, all Marylanders must wear a face covering while inside an essential business or aboard public transportation. The directive made this week by Gov.

You “rebels without a cause” – go ahead and go into a business without a face mask. You’re right, you may not get “slapped” with a fine, but you can bet your butt the owners/workers will stop you from patronizing their establishment! Enjoy the “boos” and dirty looks from the RESPONSIBLE customers while you’re thrown out! Also, if you happen to notice a height marker on the exit door, check to see if you shrunk any!

The world is suffering from COVID and at this time we have to do self-care, and the mask is an important thing so buy reusable masks and washable masks.
