I'm sitting here wondering how you got your daughter to go hiking wearing a mask.I'm pretty sure that my kids are posing for an REI ad.
Also maybe why.
How and why are related. We have set the norm that any time she is out of the house she should wear a mask. This is much more straightforward and consistent for a kindergartner than a complex series of rules about circumstances where masks are not strictly required. She's going to be wearing a mask 8 hours a day in school; setting consistent expectations at home helps this transition.
And the exact how is fairly standard parenting: mild bribery (letting her choose mask designs), consistent messaging, praise for following directions, leading by example, and a clear explanation of how wearing a mask helps other people stay well. She's been very compliant for months; it's just another thing we do when we leave the house.
My kid who just turned 2 is another story entirely; we're just introducing it now and it'll take some time.

A train driver in the Netherlands has had a lucky escape thanks to a fortuitously placed art installation.
A metro train in Spijkenisse, near the city of Rotterdam, crashed through a barrier at the end of the tracks shortly before midnight on Sunday.
But rather than plummeting 10m (32ft) into the water below, the train was left suspended dramatically in the air.
It ended up being delicately balanced on the large sculpture of a whale's tail at the De Akkers metro station.
Wait how was he killed by that rock.
Wasn't wearing a mask... smh

But seriously, I'm boarding a plane soon in Trump country and will need to fight the urge to murder the unmasked.

Cool picture!
Ah, a space ship.
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
There are only so many polite words that come to mind when one spots a ship apparently hovering above the ocean during a stroll along the English coastline.
David Morris, who captured the extraordinary sight on camera, declared himself “stunned” when he noticed a giant tanker floating above the water as he looked out to sea from a hamlet near Falmouth in Cornwall.
The effect is an example of an optical illusion known as a superior mirage. Such illusions are reasonably common in the Arctic but can also happen in UK winters when the atmospheric conditions are right, though they are very rare.
The illusion is caused by a meteorological phenomenon called a temperature inversion. Normally, the air temperature drops with increasing altitude, making mountaintops colder than the foothills. But in a temperature inversion, warm air sits on top of a band of colder air, playing havoc with our visual perception. The inversion in Cornwall was caused by chilly air lying over the relatively cold sea with warmer air above.
