When I wear a mask in public or decline an invitation to a party or to come inside, I want you to know that :-
* I am educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus.
* No, I don't "live in fear" of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
* I don't feel like the "government is controlling me"; I feel like I'm being a contributing adult to society.
* The world doesn't revolve around me. It's not all about me and my comfort.
* If we all could live with other people's consideration in mind, this whole world would be a much better place.
* Wearing a mask doesn't make me weak, scared, stupid or even "controlled". It makes me considerate.
* When you think about how you look, how uncomfortable it is or what others think of you - a child, a father, a mother, grandparent, aunt or uncle - choking on a respirator, alone without you or any family member allowed at the bedside.
* Ask yourself if it was worth the risk?
* Wearing a mask is not political.

Military's Murphy Laws
* Never share a bunker with anyone braver than yourself.
* Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
* Five second fuses always burn three seconds.
* The easy way is always mined.
* Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.
* If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in combat zone.
* Incoming fire has the right of way.
* No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.
* No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat.
* If the enemy is within range, so are you.
* The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
* Tracers work both ways.
* Professional soldiers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs.
* Military Intelligence is a contradiction.
* Mines are equal opportunity weapons.
* When in doubt, empty your magazine.
* The side with the simplest uniform wins.
* Combat will occur on the ground between two adjoining maps.
* The most dangerous thing in the world is a Lieutenant with a map and a compass.
* The more a weapon costs, the farther you will have to send it away to be repaired.
* The complexity of a weapon is inversely proportional to the IQ of the weapon's operator.
* If any data is collected, a board of inquiry can prove anything.
* To steal information from a person is called plagiarism. To steal information from the enemy is called gathering intelligence.
* The weapon that usually jams when you need it the most is the one you are trained with.
* The bursting radius of a hand grenade is always one foot greater than your jumping range.
* The crucial round is a dud.
* There is no such place as a convenient foxhole.
* Density of fire increases proportionally to the curiousness of the target.
* Success occurs when no one is looking. Failure occurs when the General is watching.
* Things that must be together to work can never be shipped together.
* The Quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small.
* If you have a personality conflict with your superior, he has the personality, you have the conflict.
* If you enter the CO's office with an idea, most likely, you will leave the office with his idea.
Tailpiece.
Got up at 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10. Helped Lekha and Suma in cleaning up the fridge. The afternoon siesta was skipped thanks to an interesting episode of Crime Patrol.
