13. Our usual protest helpers all have those vests. Good idea to have them. They have cases bottled water in pull carts too.

Been wondering about those clear full face shields that disrupt facial recognition gadgets in case things get really bad. My daughter does a lot of different costumes for when we all hit the street. Several people around here have purchased inflatables. Kinda wish I use scuba gear

We have a LOT of candy asses who strap on side arms just to go to the store for milk and bread. And they call us 'scaredy cats' for masking in public! Saw one guy with FOUR handguns on him in the grocery store making fun of a very VERY elderly lady with a mask on. I don't even know how he kept his pants on with all that iron on his belt.
