I think pretty much all of us would agree that Flagstaff is a welcoming, friendly city whose people care about one another. Beyond this there's a basic indisputable fact that's the most relevant of all: Those who wear masks provide much more protection to others without masks than they receive themselves. During these encounters we simply pull up our masks until we're in the clear again and drop them down or unloosen them to hang. Unfortunately, and sadly, the number of people we pass who do the same is rare to non-existent. Having a mask with you that can be used when needed would go a long way to protecting all of us, as well as an opportunity to say, "Thank you for wearing a mask."
