I doubt your average person today is "still focusing so much on surface cleaning" to prevent COVID transmission. That was certainly the case earlier on in the pandemic, but it seems to have decreased more recently. As someone else mentioned above, I do appreciate the general cleanliness of things. I also echo the comments earlier about having too many Lysol Wipes now. I have a five year supply now .

Yuck. I wouldn't be interested if he was paying me $600. Of course, to each his own.

To be honest, I wouldn't be visiting anywhere outside of the US right now. It just isn't a good time. Save it for a later date.

Smart move. It's not a good time to travel to PV (or Florida...or anywhere else for that matter). COVID seems out of control in many places right now. I travel a whole lot normally yet have not been out of my state since Feb 2020. I don't plan on going anywhere (even in the US) until COVID cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are way down....and vaccinations are way up. I assume that is at least three months off.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Daddy was truly dedicated to this site and we all have benefited as a result. I only had the pleasure of meeting him once, but I found Daddy to be very knowledgeable and entertaining. He will be so missed.

You're never too old to go to a strip club anywhere as long as you have money in your pocket to spend. The strippers are happy to give lapdances providing the customer has the cash. I have seen guys in their 80's go in the back with dancers. At Stock, there is a customer that is in a wheelchair and the dancers are happy to go in the back with him. Go for it! I am hoping that the border will have re-opened by autumn....maybe earlier.

On that note, Delta just announced additional service from Boston to Iceland for this summer. Seems that Iceland will be a busy place given that it will be wide open to vaccinated Americans. https://news.delta.com/delta-offers-more-service-iceland-first-europe-destination-open-vaccinated-americans

I think your concern over the ability to travel to Canada this summer is well-founded. Of course the COVID situation will improve in Canada and elsewhere during the next few months. However, as you say, international travel won't come back for some time. I doubt there will be any leisure travel allowed into Canada between now and the end of May. Having said that, I would be surprised if we can't travel to Canada by September. I say that for no particular reason other than it seems that many things should be sorted out by then. Whether the border is opened up sooner than that (sometime in the June-August timeframe) remains to be seen. It's possible but I wouldn't plan on it.

So sad to hear this news. Rest In Peace Adam Smith.

So Sorry to hear of BVB's passing. He was always a thoughtful and interesting contributor to the forum. RIP BVB.

All evidence of endless pointless posts from a single poster.

I don’t thinkthat there’s much of an official street scene left anywhere any more. Certainly not worth traveling for. I saw the remaining meager street scene that was left in Houston dwindle down to mostly nothing between 2007 and 2016.

No surprise the restrictions have been extended given how bad things are still in much of the US. This may continue through the end of the year unfortunately. All the best to our friends in Montreal We miss you!!

Kiss at Cobo Arena in Detroit in January 1976. I've seen them again many times since then...most recently in August 2019 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

Thanks for all the input. I am heading out tomorrow to find a replacement for my now-depleted Purell:).

Purell is my go-to hand sanitizer and has been for years. Of course, it's now impossible to find it at the stores as they are prioritizing deliveries for medical usage (completely understandable). Given the warnings about some of the recently produced sanitizers being of questionable effectiveness/safety, does anyone have any recommendations on legitimate store-bought alternatives to Purell? The sanitizers I find at the store are brands I don't recognize and are often in odd packaging (vodka shaped bottles). I don't know which is on the up-and up. I'm aware of people making their own sanitizer at home but at this point I'm interested in finding good store-bought options. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up! I also noticed on their facebook page that they will only be open Wednesday through Sunday. I guess that means no more Tuesday nights at Stock for now. I hope things go well for them this time.

I really get ticked off when people refuse to wear a mask . I have no time for people like that.

I like the idea of a shield with a mask....but individually, I would prefer everyone wore a mask. If someone wants to add an extra layer of protection with a shield...better still.

I thought as much. Thanks for that.

Lately here in Michigan, I've been seeing more and more people wearing only a transparent face shield rather than an actual face mask...including on restaurant workers. BTW, I'm seeing this more on women than on men. My gut tells me that the face shield used on its own provides less protection than a face mask on its own. It seems to me that the germs can easily get around and under the open parts of the shield. Am I wrong about this? Can a face shield be used like a mask and provide the same protections for the average person? ps: I know in the medical environment the shield is normally used together with a face mask.

I'm sorry to hear this but not really surprised. Operating a bar during this pandemic has to be very difficult. Kudos for making a tough decision.

Let's be honest, everyone needs to stay at home till there is an effective and readily available vaccine. I'm thinking mid-2021 to early 2022.

I think its too risky to contemplate hiring an escort anywhere right now. It's kind of like asking "is it risky to play russian roulette?" The answer to both questions is pretty obvious. No disrespect to the OP of course.
