Around my area, I assume those still wearing masks are those that cannot or refuse to get vaccinated.
Not the case I don't think.

Why not?

Those that are waiting, yes. Those that refuse, no.
At this point nobody is still waiting.

These are part of my everyday commute, all on US-290/SH-71 west of Austin:

Where the freeway ends and traffic is diverted onto an exit ramp.  This used to be stripped as one lane, then some TxDOT official moved out that way and decided it needed to be two lanes years after it should have been.
This reminds me heavily of Alvin south of Houston. They already have a small section of the TX-35 freeway complete around town, but the rest of TX-35 traffic is routed on the future feeder roads where the freeway ends. Also in Alvin there's these strange left-turn bypasses in the median of the future freeway which were only put in in the past 10 years. I'm assuming they're (relatively) temporary.

Back in the day, my pocket protector was equipped with four mechanical pencils: a 2H, a 2B, a red mechanical and a yellow mechanical.

When most people think pencils, the No. 2 pencil is the first thing that comes to mind. But what does the "2"  on a No. 2 pencil actually mean? [...]

Historically, pencil makers [...] use combinations of letters – a pencil marked "HB"  is hard and black; a pencil marked "HH"  is very hard, and a pencil marked "HHBBB"  is very hard and really, really black! Although today most pencils using the HB system are designated by a number such as 2B, 4B or 2H to indicate the degree of hardness. For example, a 4B would be softer than a 2B and a 3H harder than an H.

Generally, an HB grade [...] is considered to be equivalent to a #2 pencil using the U.S. numbering system.

I knew all that about pencils. I thought it was neat, as a youngster, that pencils had my initials on them.
