[NAGDU] Masks and orientation

[Lisa Belville]

That's what's so odd for me.  I feel like something is in my way, that's 
blocking my vision even if I don't have any usable vision to block.  
It's frustrating, especially as more places are making it a requirement 
to enter.  I feel like I need to practice in my own home just to be sure 
I'm reading signals correctly.
