Crows are perfect and that's all I really have to say

Another new mask today - Well Before 3d kn95 pro. I like the foam nose strip and the way the mask fits my face - it slips up my chin a lot less than an N95 aura (similar shape). However, I find the straps to feel way too tight for my head!

I see one other person masked on the bus today.

Two American crows perched on the edge of a roof, with their little crown toes poking over the edge. Both are looking downward at the photographer, perhaps in judgment.

This extremely handsome crow visited me today. Crow is not humble, nor should they be. 🪶

Solid maybe. Some masks come in different sizes, too! So not all of them are just "one size fits all" (dubious claim). The Dräger one that I quote-posted comes in multiple sizes. I also tried this one (see photo) that I didn't realize was an XL until I put it on 😂 it has adjustable head straps!

Trying the Jackson safety surewerx N95 today, my first "duck bill" style mask. I added a stick-on foam nose strip to make it more comfy.

I'm surprised how light this one feels. I've gotten ZERO glasses fogging, which is a good sign for fit.

There was 1 other person with a mask on the bus today!

A 3M foam nose strip added to the inside of the N95. You can get these in bulk for real cheap.

Her STOMPERS. Her MANY TOESIES. I love her ever so much.

Even though she's laying on my clean laundry. She is forgiven.

Trying another new mask - Dräger x-plore 1950 N95. I really like the fit around the nose & the straps that slide at the corner pieces make it real easy to put on.

Once again, I'm the only one masked on the bus. 🙃

WEAR YOUR MASK, FOLKS! IT'S EASY! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SICK ALL THE TIME! 😷

My buddy who always finds me when I'm taking my lunch in their territory. Shows up with their partner and their two young crow children born this year. It gives me a certain sort of feeling that the young ones will have known me their whole life. 🥹🪶

Trying a new-to-me style of n95. Not too bad. Fits my round head pretty well. I'm shopping around trying new masks because my favorite (the laianzhi kn100) is not available in the states and... Well, the tarriffs. 🙃

Also, I'm once again the only one masked on the bus this morning. 🥲
