Thursday

It was more like a hockey helmet, but with a face guard that lined up across the mouth and a center bar that went over the nose.
I'm not sure how confining it is or isn't because I knew I had to keep my head still or go through it again.
The only tricky part is scratching an itch or rubbing an eye.
My eyes got pretty dry with that cool, dry air in there.
