outside the MDC
pool. I didn’t have my
mask. I didn’t ask if one
was needed. But the men

and woman entering all
have theirs on. So, I donned
a jacket to wrap around
my face. I looked out

of place. All people entered through
the front door. I didn't see a
men’s or lady’s room. As I laid beside
the pool the lifeguard told me

to wear a mask while
tanning. A mask on my face while
tanning would make me look like
a character out of the Flintstone’s

once I took it off. I scoffed
at this under my breath. It wouldn’t
have my death if I didn’t
wear a covering. We were outside and spread

over six feet apart. So, I played in
the water the whole time. At least
here you didn’t need to wear one. I
wouldn’t let it spoil my fun!
