      MSGID: 1:153/757.21@fidonet f153ac0b       PID: OpenXP/5.0.50 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       Hello All,              Today marked "day 1" of the beginning of the lifting of the        "stay at home" order in Ontario. Being in a tourist town that        serves as a gateway to cottage destinations, *and* being a        Friday, my town was jam-packed with vehicles pouring through        all day.              I operate a small bookshop along the main street. After        several months of just languishing at the shop and just waiting        for closing time in the months prior, today seemed like the        first day I had to actually do any work, such as being civil to        strangers.              What I found most interesting though.. is that many of those        strangers were not wearing masks. I did not mind that myself;        legally I cannot extricate/remove someone if they choose to not        wear a mask, and still want to browse or purchase something.        But it is interesting that most people are treating this "day        1" as a kind of "covid days are over" thing and there is a        general sense of freedom regained.       --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Mobile?
