#6 Fear not. Bill 'Pearly' Gates has an embeddable chip for us human drones that will alert INGSOC in real time.

And Pearly's really smart. After all, he knows nothing about education and still his ingenious Common Core innovation singlehandedly reformed US public education.

#7 @ #5 - I wonder if the day will come when we cannot purchase drones as they might be used as counter-surveillance techniques, so to speak.

#9 In the 1960s riots at UC Berkeley a police helicopter landed at a Berkeley northside park and chewed out a boy for flying a kite that could get tangled in the tail rotor.

Lo and behold, hours later Berkeley skies were full of kites like barrage balloons in WW2 England.

#10 Only reason I wear a mask is to avoid the self-appointed angry mask police. I see them everywhere I go. Going to trip some of them given the chance.

#11 I only wear a mask if I absolutely must (e.g., stores as mandated by our guv-nah). Other than that, no ~~más~~ mask.

#12 Masks are now a requirement to enter businesses in Quincy, and that was enacted last Sunday. Anyone that's within ear shot of me will hear 'I can't wait until this f'n c()^$ucking bullship is over with' every time I have to wait in line to get into Ace's or Home Depot. It's a sure-fire conversation starter.

#13 As silly not to wear a mask as it is to not use a condom on a first date.
