To mask or not to mask

       On Monday evening, the Divine Mrs. M and I enjoyed a hot and sweaty time watching the hapless Yankees lose to the LA Angels.  The interesting part was we were in person at Yankee Stadium for the first time in several years.   We were also maskless during the game!

      I did not see any masked people during the game, but the Metro North train we took after the game mandated masks for all riders.   Again, few if any masked people were in evidence on the platform or the train.   We did not inquire as to whether anyone was vaccinated, but we certainly hoped that was the case.  People are becoming more and more adventurous as the pandemic wanes in the US.  I just hope the vaccines will continue to defend against the ever more numerous variants of Covid which continue to pop up across the planet.  In the meantime, I will keep a mask in my  pocket and put it on if local regulations require it.   It is a small thing, but one that can easily done, although the idea of being masked in a crowd of people during a ball game with the temperature approaching triple digits is more challenging than you may think.
