Travel 4: All Around the World Same Song

My other issue with Vegas now is that 100% of the fun of Vegas, to me, is the EVERYTHING HAPPENING ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK insanity. If you have to take precautions - reduced capacity, masks, whatever - I'll wait until it's safe to go full throttle.

I'm not saying precautions aren't good policy, I'm saying that I'll just wait it out until they aren't necessary.

I agree. That is why I didn't put up much of a fight about moving my trip.
 
Just got back from a trip deep into enemy territory -- leaving the safe haven of Bar Harbor, ME (where Maine CDC estimates >95% of people age 12 and older in my zip code are fully vaccinated) to Fayetteville West Virginia/New River Gorge National Park and then to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. I had a great time, and it was so nice to escape the absolute insanity that is Bar Harbor, ME / Acadia National Park right now. I will say, even as someone that's driven through some rural Maine towns where the paper mills have closed (see Millinocket and East Millinocket) the poverty I saw in some of the rural West Virginia towns was pretty depressing.

Looking forward to a quick trip to Quebec City next month now that I'll be allowed to cross the border.

Dr. Mrs. just got back from a secret spy mission to Mississippi.

She was... unimpressed... with our ideological adversaries.

But she finally saw The River, which every American must see to really be a citizen, along with the Grand Canyon and both oceans.

I saw The River after a night drinking in the French Quarter (multiple occasions). Does that count? The number of rats scurrying around Woldenberg Park late at night is..... impressive.

Yes, it counts.

I first saw The River waiting for my friend's car to be repaired after I ripped the muffler off the bottom driving over a standpipe in the parking lot of a Memphis Taco Bell.

Gotta admit, reading Huckleberry Finn and Life on the Mississippi gave me a lump in my throat not unlike Jeb2020's Mom after one of her nights blowing guys behind the candle pin bowling alley for nickels.
 
Geez

mookie has seen the river on ground in the twin cities, St. Louis, and New Orleans.

mookie’s urine has no doubt rolled down the locks of the river as he grew up along THE river in western pa Virginia and wizzed too many times to count in said monogahela river. What an ugly mess of brown sewer water that is. Ich

mookie needs yet another tetanus shot!!!

It isn't quite as impressive up here. Still very beautiful in places, though.

Yeah, I drive over the Mighty Mississippi a number of times each month using the High Bridge, and it’s a great ‘meh’ experience. I’ve driven over it down in St. Louis a couple times, and there was some genuine arse picking going on then.
 
There is no way that wasn't going to happen. Vegas can't afford another shutdown. The casinos were already making their employees mask up so it won't be a tough transition.

Makes me feel better about my trip next month.
