It is recommended that you wear a mask in a lot of areas if you are outside. Visibility is a little over 1/4 mile. Life member NTA

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I think we should demand the king of Canada give us Boco and other well trained Canadians to put up our fur, apologize for justin bieber and install maple syrup, free on tap, at central locations.
