Why are people still wearing masks outside?

Flatbush (?)

No, probably not Flatbush.

Slope/“South Slope” is my guess.

Close ish ish.

Vax cards and the covid-19 are provided at no cost.

Where there is a will there is a way. Gotta have proof of ID to cash checks, etc.

Why not the same standard for voting?

TheDoctorIsIn · 2021-06-17T01:55:07.053Z

About an hour, on foot.

But also worlds away.

Although the engines of gentrification do drive on. It’s been a decade for me.

South Slope is distinct from Park Slope?

TheDoctorIsIn · 2021-06-17T01:57:15.874Z

“South Slope” is a term invented by real estate agents to make an area that wasn’t Park Slope into sorta Park Slope for their listings.

TheDoctorIsIn:

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

Around 1.7 million Americans died in 2019. Another 500,000 deaths moves the needle.

So a 95% survival rate caused a 20% increase in deaths?

Survival rate here in US is actually 98%+.

But yes, that still accounts for a lot of deaths.

Ahah.

Park Slope still ends at Flatbush Ave?

TheDoctorIsIn · 2021-06-17T01:58:58.626Z

Yeah, basically. But “South Slope” is on the other side. Into the 20s and 30s, going down 5th and 6th.

I have almost no reason to go back now. My brother moved off the LT entrance.

To Tampa.

But a bar in Flatbush (?) having a one-off vax-card policy is an undue burden on a person a thousand miles away in the pea-soup for air backwaters of Florida.

Please spread the word to your friends. They shouldn’t come here.

We have gators, snakes and horrible humidity 90% of the year.

Oh, and a Governor who is abominable.

To Tampa.

That’s rough. I don’t wish Florida on anyone.

I still have a lot of family in Brooklyn, and that’s part of why I have a reason not to go back, right now.

You don’t have to convince me. I lived there.

Two thirds of Florida will be shark waters soon enough.

I do, all the time.

I left Florida, never to return, more than 15 years ago. And it still haunts me.

To each their own. I’m happy for you that you found and settled into a place that you are content with.

We have friends on Manasota. Last time, I tried to go for a run. I run mountains. I have tens of thousands of miles. And it’s not like New England is dry.

Barely made it a mile.
