Love your work. Obviously it’s OK not to wear a mask inside a restaurant. But seeing him wear a mask outside when he saw us seemed unnecessary. I thought: Huh. That’s kinda odd - and interesting too. So I let people know, and people have totally freaked out because of the tweet.

Eating with a mask on is the new popular diet.

ask mike pompeo it doesn’t work very well…

You can’t. The honest point is, in exchange for a dining out experience we’re willing to risk going maskless indoors (because that’s what ‘mask on/off’ IS) because that’s the only way to do it. Obfuscation and pretense only trigger cynicism, even in those who take Covid seriously
