Richland Police Seek ‘Exposed Nose Bandit’

Wearing a mask used to seem so weird. It used to be something you only saw in pictures of busy streets in China (before Covid) or People Magazine shots of Michael Jackson.

And as we approach the 1 year anniversary of mandatory mask requirements, I think most folks have it down pretty good. Not counting the crazy, screaming at a bagel shop anti-mask type folks. But they always make for great viral videos! But like I said, most folks have it down pretty good, and less and less folks are forgetting their masks in their cars before they run into the grocery stores.

But every grocery store trip, there's always that one exposed nose. PULL YOUR MASK UP, I want to scream. Oh, it's not because I'm a crazy 'wear your mask person.' I just figure that since we all have to wear one, wear the damn thing correctly. No, I'm not afraid of catching the Rona from an exposed nose. Although, I guess you could. It just looks stupid...slovenly. It's like wearing glasses. You don't walk around with one earpiece below your ear do you? It's like underwear on the outside of your pants or wearing a shirt with one arm out of the sleeve.

Okay, enough of that. Your mask slipped down below your nose, and you just haven't noticed it yet. That's cool. Pull it up when you do. But what about people who wear their mask ABOVE their chin? Now my OCD has really kicked in! Yay...it's above your nose, but unless you've got a Jay Leno type chin...no..no...nooooooo!

Okay, I'm done. I have to go to the grocery store. I'll try not to look at anyone. Ridiculous.
