Can we talk about modern Social Anthropology here?

12. That's where I think we're a little different.

We do have a few young ones I our group... by young I mean in their 20's and 30's. But they aren't part of any crowd, and they don't go out bar hopping, nor are they concert or movie going. They really don't have the money to be doing all that, which is why I brought up the poverty aspect of it. They're more like us... their elders living on social security and barely getting by. We all help each other, so we're all in each other's "bubble." We have gatherings about every 6-8 weeks, when possible, so we don't get TOO lonesome for each other and for company. The exception to to this is my grandson, who is a concert maniac... but he's also a fanatic about being up to date on his shots and he wears his mask everywhere. He loves his grandma, and wants to keep her around for a long, long time (as he's told me).

I'm in a small town in KS, and I swear, I go into Walmart, which is about the only place to shop here, and I'm one of the very few people to have a mask on. In fact, when I pass someone else who's wearing one, we each give a "thumbs up" to the other. I hate masking... it's been damnably hot this summer. But we've not had covid yet, and with all these tests from .gov we've gotten, hubby and I do regular testing on ourselves. So something is working in our favor.
