For the entire month of October, 2021, we counted the number of individuals we saw wearing masks as opposed to those not wearing them in public places.
We traveled in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California during this time period. All Nevada casinos required masks, so we didn’t count those.
In reverse chronological order, here are the results:
🔹Iron Skillet Restaurant on I-93, between Kingman and Wickenburg, AZ. 10/31, Halloween. 4 masked. 26 unmasked.
🔹Claim Jumper Restaurant, Golden Nugget, Laughlin, NV. 10/30. 2 masked. 18 unmasked.

It’s been a while since I wore a mask around DFW. Whataburger is still squirrely about it and requires one, so I order in the drive through. The employees at our HEB still wear them, but no customers. I think the panic is over and done in Texas.

The New Hampshire mindset is decidedly slow to change here. A larger amount of people are wearing masks again than not, although the stores are not requiring it! I frequent one small store in Newport, where people don’t wear masks much at all, and the atmosphere is friendly. But Friday I was in Lebanon, just south of Hanover and Dartmouth College, a very Leftist area, where they had one of those huge computerized signs in the middle of the road: MASKS REQUIRED. People there were literally driving around in their cars with masks on again. And these areas are supposed to have all the smart people! Newport is considered slightly redneck, a mill town, only a few smart people, you might say. But more people are wearing masks even here.
