How Will You Spend Your Global Pandemic Summer?

No more traveling overseas and enjoying the views from your balcony overlooking the French Riviera. You are now subjugated to vacationing inside the United Steaks and I’m wondering what you have in store?

Lazy summer by the pool with gin and tonics?

Take a road trip to Portland to see the animals in their natural environ?

Perhaps travel to New England or a mountain resort with your COVID-19 face masks for a little relaxation?

I wonder if we’ll ever get back to normal sometimes, especially because I will not take that fucking vaccine. Honestly, I feel bad about that too — not wanting to believe the vaccine is beneficial for me. But it’s rushed and I’ve seen the movie I am Legend and would rather fight and die as a human, than become a Vampire, roaming the streets of Portland in search of outrage.

    Spending all my money in these great United States. This is the greatest country in the history of civilization. The land is beautiful and the people are better. There is nowhere else I’d rather live my life.

    So following our parting of ways, I sold my house in SE Michigan (the 9th Floor Office is long behind) and purchased just over 10 hectares of land (a family home) in my old town.

    I have no vacation plans but am instead plowing money into slowly sculpting the land and house inton area of respite with gardens, trails and comforts.

    We’re actually entertaining some friends this afternoon and my wife just finished cooking her Schwabian style pretzels which my children and I are snacking on.

        Ok, correction: most Americans aren’t pieces of shit. I posted that out of weakness and emotion. But it’s over. The country is drained.

          Make no mistake, there were and are some amazing Americans!

          But when you have a blowout while driving at 200+ mph, it doesn’t matter how good of a driver you are/were.

        A hectare is the superior unit of farmland measurement.

        An acre is the pitiful corner lot of suburbia most fathers never quite buy while they patchwork carve up the countryside and turn every 1,000 square miles outside of our cities into dumb grids that faintly smell of chinese food and BO.

          I have 600 acres of farmland in the midwest that is primarily leased out for crop growth.

          Nobody in farming uses the word hectare.

            Quite a bit of government stats are in hectares, actually. But yeah ownership is usually acreage.

            Leasing the land gives established farmers additional yield with lower risk. It’s very advantageous for both parties. Although I am sure in your warped communist and anti-Semitic world nobody would have property rights or the ability to manage that property as they see fit.

      I sure remember those 9th floor office days. For some reason, I remember you talking about the “cheapest man in the world” buying a Monster Box of silver eagles off the desk.
      I remember a lot of your energy trades. You always had good pieces to read and added a nice flavor to the IBC halls.

    The problem of travelling within America is you are bound to see Americans. That was the whole point of travelling overseas during the good old days, unfortunately.

    I was planning a couple of driving trips, one to CA. But they’re hyping the planedemic big-time so the socialist republic of California is out and probably the other states too.

    My concern is, you cross a state line and a govna’ makes a decree and you get locked into the state or fined or stuck in a Fema camp or civil forfeitured, bolowrapped and beaten by the cops or vigilantes in a defunded area.

    It could be like getting stuck in Honduras or another South American banana republic in the 80’s.

      Illegal to shit down state borders to America citizens it’s basically in the Constitution.

      Although masked camo cartel at kidnapping people in PDX used to be illegal too

    Tides are low enough this weekend that you can wade out into the sea and catch red rock and Dungeness crabs with your fucking hands – it’s a blast – so that’s what I’m going to do with my bros.

    Then we bring them back and boil them in saltwater on a fire outside in my yard whilst shot gunning beers and smoking kind herbs and listening to the grateful dead it’s basically fucking perfect

    I can’t visit my daughter in SF, so I’ll be driving to Bar Harbor next month, to catch a breath of fresh air.
    Regarding Reparations, if Narcist gets his – asking all fine folks here – do I deserve half, for serving people of color for 40 years in Brooklyn, using tiny elevators, whose walls are covered with some white frothy material and floors are flooded with fermented human excrements?

    Hanging at our “open” beach in the Mid-Atlantic feasting on Chesapeake Bay softies, North Atlantic Lobster, Silver Queen corn and local tomatoes whilst gambling on this crazy market from my hammock and waiting for America Central to open back up so I can get the hell out of here before the impending collapse …
    Life is still good and with the exception of limited restaurant / bar access and the city invaders in masks, you would never know there was a problem here…

    Have had to cancel 2 trips to New Orleans, one to NYC and one to Nashville so far. But I live on the water so I take the boat out 3 days a week. Other than having to put up with all my friends being Trumptards, life on the Redneck Riviera in Florida isn’t too bad.
