  1. I don't even really know what politics and religion are. I usually talk about the 1985 vintage of sangiovese I had 4 years ago that changed my life.
  2. I love this post so fucking much. You are talking about the age group least at risk from Covid but possibly most bothered with having to wear a mask? Whether that is communicating or just being able to wear one for any extended period of time? That age group? You are correct, the age required to wear a mask should have been 5 or 8 but it wasn’t because a bunch of fucking idiots made this a political statement on both sides. I am very glad glad the mandate is gone. And hopefully @PenelopeWitherspoon and I will be sitting up front on the same flight soon, by chance. I think even with our different view points on things we could still be polite to each other on a hop across the pond.
  3. Was all this in Rome? I did not put on a N95 once in the country and I did not see very many people wearing N95s either. Normal medical was the most common. We were in Florence and outside Cortona. My wife declined to get the booster so she was nine months from her last shot. No issues entering the country and we were never asked about vaccination anywhere we went except for one pizza joint in Florence. We were denied dining inside but could take the pizza to go.
  4. I found this out the other day. To get on a plane going to Italy you have to wear an N95 or KN95. Once on the plane no one cares what mask you have on. But to actually get on the plane I was turned around and had to go purchase an N95 in the terminal. It was the same when leaving Rome as well.
  5. How about this. I think this administration is completely wrong with the extension and should remove the mask mandate. Does that belong in CR? I'd say the same thing if we were in an alternate universe where someone was on his second term. Masks are political because we are a bunch of dumbasses. Arguing about the validity of continuing masks mandates in the present day doesn't need to be relegated to CR because someone used not nice words.
  6. Are masks not apart of vacationing during covid? I sure hope this mask mandate is removed before I travel with my three year old at the end of June. No way he is wearing a mask on plane for any amount of time. Not sure what is CR about that.
  7. From what I’m told there are only four subway stations in Brooklyn.
  8. Well dammit. I tested negative for Covid so now I get to go home tomorrow. Pro tip. Go to Laura Laureto’s store right off the piazza in Cortona. I bought a pair of dress shoes there and the Laura might be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
  9. I’ll do them one better. They should dispose of anything created or manufactured in the West to really show us how displeased they are. I think that leaves them with Vodka and radiation to play around with.
  10. As much as I love Florence. This is why I come back to Tuscany.
  11. Frikin A. Living in another reality. Flashbacks to the Chernobyl mini series. The debt to be paid for the truth is going to be significant.
  12. Russia attacked a train station full of evacuees. Reports say 30 dead and 100 injured. This is tough to see day in and day out and it’s just going to get worse. Fuck.
  13. Late to this thread.
  14. Which part. Parking that truck in NOLA? The thief? Driving a Chevy?
  15. Tourists are definitely out in early April but it’s no overwhelming. I am hearing a lot more English then I am used to. I think Americans are making up a larger % of tourists right now. Not very many people from Asian countries or other European countries it seems. The service employees seem to be pleased since traffic is up and they probably aren’t annoyed yet with dumb travelers.
  16. The St. Regis in Florence is great. That is all. On day two in Florence. Go to Trattoria Sostanza and get the chicken in butter. Damn that was tasty.
  17. I had an epiphany. Hypersonic missile with MCAS. Iron Dome… Patriot Missile Defense… Haha good luck stopping that.
  18. Oh dammit. There are some terrible photos coming out now. Linking to tweet that is response to a NSFL tweet. Spoiler below so you don’t have to read or see. Fuck this.
  19. What about the airport’s water supply?
  20. My best advice for Italy is just go and explore. I’ve been 6 times and I am about to go on my 7th trip. Just go. You will experience something new every time and want to go back again.
  21. Agreed. I would skip Rome and go to the countryside.
  22. Food poisoning on a 14 hour flight over the Pacific. I think it was the 5th time getting up where I wavered for a second and that’s all it took. And that’s why I always pack a change of clothes on the carry on when flying long distance.
  23. I still can’t believe it’s taken American this long. Us idiots on United have been boozing for awhile.
